This is a rework of thing:1596627 - 7849 Three Piece Puzzles. It is an attempt to make 3 piece puzzles which are more difficult to solve. Instead of 3 pieces of equal size the pieces are now of three different sizes. This increases the number of possible puzzles. Three puzzles are included here: puzzle_p8910_21062.stl puzzle_p8910_21074.stl puzzle_p8910_28770x.stl OpenSCAD code which is capable of constructing 45972 different puzzles is included. Print Settings Printer Brand: MakerBot Printer: MakerBot Replicator (5th Generation) Rafts: Yes Supports: Yes Notes: All the puzzles overhang and need support. Notes A number of puzzles were constructed in a search for more difficult ones. Two of the included puzzles slide together easily and depend on the complexity of the pieces to confuse the solver. Puzzle_p8910_28770x.stl is actually physically insolvable. Clearances were increased by 50% which allows it to be solved. The piece of 10 subcubes takes a path around the 3x3x3 cube and if the piece containing 9 subcubes is inserted in the right position it can be rotated into position with little or no resistance. More details are given at the beginning of the openSCAD code.
