Doublesided Circular Maze

thingiverse

A simple ball-maze doesn't meet the requirement of a real puzzle as the eye can simply follow the path and the actual challenge is the plain motoric difficulty. Not so this concept of a double sided maze. The ball has to change the sides two times. My build was done on a desktop cnc-machine by Stepcraft from 2 sheets of 6 mm beech plywood using a spiral-toothed 3 mm flute and a 2 mm end mill for plastics to cut the acrylic glass to cover the maze. It took quite some time to clean out the channels with sand paper. I used a 3 mm steel ball from bike wheel hub. Visit https://www.zenziwerken.de/en/ for more designs. How I Designed This I created a circular grid using Solid Edge 2D and then Illustrator to mark the correct way in green the dead ends in red till all the elements were filled.
