SKEWBITS is an original puzzle game designed specifically for 3D printing. Fit the four unique Skewbits into various silhouettes. You may be surprised by how challenging some of the problems can be!
Basic Rules
- Fit the 4 skewbits within each outline. You do not have to fill every space, but most solutions will.
- Only use the skewbits right side up. You may not flip the parts upside down

Printing Guidelines
- Grid.stl : Your usual print settings should work fine. I used 15% infill, 5 top layers, 0.2mm layer height. Optionally, swap filament above 1.2mm to make the grid stand out.
- Skewbits A-D : 2-3 perimeters, 0.16mm layer height. No supports. Proper extrusion is important to ensure the print-in-place hinges are sturdy without fusing together (Clearance is 0.3mm). Use the colors indicated by the filenames if you want to match the solution guide. Prints right side up.
- Grid_TPUgrip.stl - Optional grip for the bottom of the grid. Print solid using Ninjaflex TPU(Also on Amazon) or similar. Glue in place using E6000 adhesive, etc.
- Grid_LaserGrip.svg : Optional grip for the bottom of the grid. Designed for lasercutting. I used 3mm cork. Watch my video for details.

Did you change the puzzles to have the little number label on them? Are you willing to share the design?
This is great! Would you be willing to share the file?
Cool solution for storing the problems, and clean prints!
What a great idea. Would you be willing to share that model?
looks great :)
Big success as a gift for my 8-year-old niece's birthday!
My kids love these, but the hinges keep breaking. Any tips on making them stronger? I'm using PLA+.
[Edit] I was printing w/ a 0.6mm nozzle. Switched to a different machine w/ a 0.4 nozzle and it is coming out much stronger.
Was that all you had to do? I've been having a terrible time trying to get these to print with PLA+, though I did one set with regular PLA and it came out well. Have been trying different temperatures, infill, wall settings.. but haven't had any luck yet.
Where can we get the solution guide.
