Tetrahex Puzzle with Sliderbox

thingiverse

The puzzle is constructed from 10 puzzle pieces: 3 trihexes and 7 tetrahexes. Each trihex consists of 3 connected hexagons, and each tetrahex consists of 4 connected hexagons. The puzzle pieces are used on both sides. A lot of different shapes exist for the Tetrahex puzzle. The lid of the slider box includes a little detent at the end to snap it shut. 3D Printing Tips The size of the sliding top is crucial. If it's too narrow, the bumps on the top won't snap into place. If it's too wide, the top can usually still be inserted, but it becomes difficult to open. If the lid is slightly too large, you can start by sanding down the bumps slightly. If the top doesn't fit, it is advisable to adjust its dimensions in the slicer and reprint it. Recommended adjustments are only small increments ranging between approximately 0.2mm and 0.3mm in width (only in width). Here is a short video explaining this: https://youtu.be/vve-SCg9ln8 I printed the puzzle with the following settings: Material: PLA Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 20% no supports no raft, no brim If you like check out my other designs too! https://www.thingiverse.com/pentoma/designs More information about puzzles whose pieces consist of simple geometric shapes (polyforms) can be found at http://www.pentoma.de (in german)
