If you have enjoyed the sliding number puzzle or sliding block pictures then the Slider Maze will be the perfect next thing for you! Can you complete the challenge? All the paths have to be connected - not a single path is useless as you must connect them all without a path leading into the wall. The only exception is the one tile that has a path that ends in the middle of the tile!
The maze consists of 24 tiles and 1 empty space so that you could move the tiles around. This is a print in place design that requires no supports, however, It might require a little wiggle for the tiles to come separate after the print (based on the print settings).
Can you solve it? It’s not as simple as you would think! But if you are up for a challenge then print this rather quick print in place slider maze and enjoy!
The design consists of 5 different files that might seem the same at first, but they are designed to work for different printers (based on precision that your printer has). The difference between designs is the spacing between the tiles. If you have perfectly calibrated printer, then you should consider a design file with smaller gaps while less precise printer will need to use the design file with larger gaps.
If the gaps will be too small, they will be hard to move around and if the gaps are too large, the tiles might fall off. I would suggest starting out with the 0.35mm gap design as that worked best, but if it is too tight or breaks loose, then print the design file with larger or smaller gaps based on the first results.
