Small but devious!
This 2/3 scale version of The Barrel Cooper's Puzzle Box includes all the tricks of the original with a few more twists!
Introduction https://youtu.be/URUGXzpI2-I
New Stuff!
- Removes the "snap to position" spots. Solvers will need to work harder to logic out the correct rotation points. The puzzle still hints at these with visual indicators for those looking closely.
- Removing the cork now requires an additional step.
- Fewer parts to print!
- Less hardware to assemble!
Hardware
The mini version of this puzzle uses less hardware than the original! It can also support a wider range of bolt sizes.
Requered
One of the following bolt options:
M3 x 50mm Bolt & M3 locknut M4 x 50mm Bolt & M4 locknut M5 x 50mm Bolt & M5 locknut
You can also try bolts as short as 40mm, but that does not leave much room for the locknut.
Recommended
Add magnetic latch to hold cork (adds an additional puzzle step)
One 3mm x 3mm Cylinder Magnet One 4mm 12 mm Steel Dowel Pin O-rings or very thin rubber bands to make parts stick in place more firmly
