Gear Pathing Maze - concept level - Printed on the FLSUN T1. Couldn’t *** that as there wasn’t an option. Is there an actual answer for using all 11 gears?  - 3d model
Gear Pathing Maze - concept level - a couple of the gears failed during printing due to bed adherece. Reprinted and they seem okay for now. Was able to fit all 11 pieces on, but can't get them to turn. Plan to make a few more of these to use with my elementary STEM students. - 3d model

NEW IMPROVED GEAR PATHING MAZE DESIGN AVAILABLE FREE FOR EVERYONE: https://than.gs/m/1112864

I am testing out a new type of maze where the goal is to connect two gears on the opposite sides of the board. You must use all the gears in the set and all of them must be connected.

Don't forget to like the design. And if you print it, I would love to see how it turned out for you so add a "make" to this design to show off your version!

It is simple to connect sides without using all the gears, but can you fit them all in the board without them blocking each other?

This is concept level! If it is enjoyed, then I will be developing additional levels that will include way more ideas that will make finding the path so much more challenging - blocks on the board and so much more!

If you enjoy my maze designs consider joining Mazetropolis Facebook group to get sneak peaks and updates of the upcoming designs as well as have exclusive early access and GIVEAWAYS!
