Description
A puzzle designed by Stewart Coffin as seen on Instructables (http://www.instructables.com/id/Precision-Puzzlemaking-Primer----Volume-1/step9/3x3x3-cube-puzzles/). These are .STL files ready to be sliced or fed into your 3D printing software. I used a Printrbot Simple Metal with Cura.
I wanted to test how well my printer can print interlocking parts. To start off easy and to make it look nice, I added some chamfers around each "cube" segment of each piece. This helps the pieces fit together better.
If there's anything wrong with the files or you'd like some advice on printing, leave a comment or ping me on Twitter @gbo_actual. Stay updated on my projects at my website freecision.com.
