Really excellent puzzle game !
That said, if we print all 50 sets, it's really too bulky!
I don't know how to model, but I'd like to submit an idea for making it into a travel game.
Could you create 30 caps to install on off-level studs? A certain quantity consisting of 3, 2 and 1 cap. It's to calculate...
So we can install each level using the caps...
What do you think ?
V2 Problem #2 unable to solve even with cheat sheet. Had to put the Red in upside down. Tried another way Green, Blue and Red worked but Yellow didn't. Also Problem #21 has issues doesn't work like pdf shows.
for puzzle 46, there are empty spots when you solve it. Looking at the solution guide, the middle section is supposed to be just one column wide, not 2

I'm not entirely sure I understand your concept, but a more compact/less material version would be great. If you could elaborate in the Make Anything discord or email me I'm interested in how it could be done gracefully :)
I guess the idea is to mask the unused studs (which will not be occupied by the bits) with some kind of caps, only leaving the studs free which have to be covered by the skewbits instead of putting a frame around the skewbits area to define the problem. This way you would prepare a problem by covering all studs outside the problem definition frame with single caps and then the players task is to cover the free studs (which would be the inside of the frame) with the skewbits.
The advantage was that you have to carry only 30 caps and 50 sketches how to place the caps with you instead of 50 problem frames. You might lose a bit of complexity as the caps may not define the bulges in the frames leaving it free wher the skewbits joints have to be placed.
it's so cool, thanks for this invention ...
just a remark to the Solution Guide - For problem 41 the pages are mixed - no big deal, I was just wondering as I printed them with two problems/solutions on one page and fold them ....
there are 52 problems, but only 50 solution in the guide, is this the part where we should look at the problem solver gitHub ?
Does anyone know if the "bit_s" (bit_sA_red, bit_sB_yellow, etc.) files need to be printed with supports? I tried printing them with supports via my P1S as I was afraid the concave part wouldn't print properly and trying to pull away the supports, there is just support/infill material underneath the cover -- should I just go for it and print without supports?
Wait, I kept removing more and more support material and the diamond concave piece is there! I suppose if no one responds to this, I will try to print it without support to see if it works and I don't need to have to do so much support removal!
Confirming this! Printed the other "bit_s" pieces without supports and they printed without any issues. Going to put this fun little puzzle out during the holidays for people to fiddle with.
Thanks for the great design and work you put into this (and other puzzles, still enjoying Tippi Tree!)
@snbsmith went through the same thing. I just printed the updated 012 puzzle but even when looking at the answer key we still can't get it to go. Feels like there should be a bump out at the very top in order for that 4 block piece to fit properly? Unless we're missing something...

Beautiful prints! Those surface effects look great :)

Noooo! Thanks for the quick heads up. Fixed now :0

Any update for problem #2 of V2 ?? Only works with the red upside down for me. Also doesnt work like Pic in your preview add.

The overhangs aren't greater than 45° so everything should print fine without supports!

Lol. My brother has been stuck on 12 for.... literally hours. Tried to find solution guide here and saw the note that there's a correction for 12
Isn't that the ultimate puzzle???? (but also sorry bro >.<)

No bump on top, it is possible now!
I know sorry! I just went and looked at it again and realized we had it rotated the wrong way. All good now, thanks! Awesome puzzles!
