DecTIC Puzzle - Designed by Andrew Crowell

** Update 2/23/202 ** I printed off the 0.12 offset pieces and that worked well for me. However, there are tighter (.07) and looser (.16) options. The STL files were generated using PuzzleCAD: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3198014 The .scad file for this puzzle is included in case you would like to vary the offsets further. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the DecTIC puzzle. It requires a few rotations and 9/10 moves to remove the first piece depending on how you count one of the rotations. I would rate the assembly of this puzzle as fairly difficult and the disassembly of this puzzle as fairly easy but enjoyable. I suggest you assemble the pieces and then try to assemble the puzzle instead of assembling the puzzle with the pieces already in place, leaving you with a disassembly puzzle... If that makes sense :-D This is a Turning Interlocking Cube puzzle I designed with the aid of a computer program I wrote. The name of the puzzle is printed into one of the faces of the pieces. It requires no supports and has snap together joints to create the more complex pieces. The joints should lock tightly and permanently. Sometimes a small clamp can aid in getting the pieces to snap together if they are a little too snug, or a gel based super glue can be used to take up any looseness of the joint. I can provide a solution if requested.
