Mini 1x1x3 twisty puzzle (print in place)

thingiverse

This is just a little trivial twisty puzzle for all collectors and people who would like to claim that they managed to solve a "Rubik's cube". Concerning the solving aspect this is not a challenge at all and can be given to small children (if the risk of swallowing the piece can be prevented!). For everybody else this is just a small funny object to play around with. For that manner I designed it very small (15mm x 15mm x 45mm) so that it fits in every pocket. It can be used as a kind of fidget toy as it is just relaxing to turn the 3 pieces around. If you want to make one yourself, all you have to do is print the file. This is a print-in-place design and should be functional without an assembly or any further work to do after the print. If the puzzle doesn't turn right of the printer, please try to split the cubes apart carefully using a knife or something similar. If that doesn't work either try to print it in a higher resolution or at lower speed. In order to make it a "proper" puzzle, cut some stickers out of paper, venyl or photo-paper. I used 10mm*10mm stickers but am sure that 12mm ones could even look better on this puzzle. As this is something that can be printed in about 30 minutes, I hope some of you will try it out. If you have any questions, just ask me in the comments section. If not, just have fun with this little project.
