15-Puzzle (Prototype)

thingiverse

Part of my Thing-Every-Day Summer Challenge. It was a long and hard process to design this, and it was my first attempt to make anything with moving parts. There are some obvious flaws-- the image above is one, In the rendering I failed to exclude the one piece that allows the whole thing to move, and I am to exhausted to fix that right now. Another is the size, I honestly am not 100% certain weather the base and pieces are proportional, although they should be close enough for this to function. This was a difficult design process, and as I have no printer as of now, I have no way of testing it. Like my designs? Check out my Shapeways Shop!https://www.shapeways.com/shops/MiniFidgets PS. Sorry the designs look so cruddy. Go into thingview to examine them further, I assure you that the base is quite a bit more intricate than it appears to be from the default view. I need to learn to design with that in mind. :D
