This is _version 2.0_ of the game, with many exciting upgrades:
- All parts newly redesigned and 50 problems in total!
- The 'bits' have larger hinges that are stronger, easier to print, and fit into the problems more visibly. 
- The bits and problems can no longer be placed upside down by accident. 
- Everything was scaled up 120% so the bits are easy to pick up an manipulate by all hands big and small. 
- The problems have been redesigned to use less material but maintain the necessary rigidity
- I've moved the number labels to the front to make them much more clear. 
- I've rearranged some of the problems so the difficulty increases more progressively at first.
- Thanks to the brilliant solver program by [Darci Peoples](https://darcipeoples.com/), I've changed many of the problems to have fewer solutions, making certain problems significantly more challenging!
- The updated solution guide PDF is attached, including problems 001-050

**_Printing Guidelines_**
- bits : 0.16mm layer height, 2-3 walls, 0.4mm nozzle, 15% infill
- problems : 0.16-0.25mm layer height, 1 wall, 100% infill; *printing the first layer with one wall can help with bed adhesion of the number labels*
- board : 0.16mm layer height, 2-3 walls, 15% infill; *for better grid visibility swap filaments at 1.5mm layer height
- cover : _'wLogo'_ version is two parts. Print combined using a multicolor printer or using [Multipass Multicolor Printing](https://makeanything.design/multipass-multicolor/) technique for single extruders.
- board_premium : filament swap at 8.2mm height for better grid visibility. _'TPUgrip'_ can be glued to the bottom for a nonslip board, printed with TPU 95a or similar flexible filament. Use [E6000](https://amzn.to/3UIOdso) adhesive or similar.
- case : use _'size20'_  together with _'Sleeve_Wide'_ or _'size30'_ with _'Sleeve_Tall'_. Wide sleeve holds 21 or 20 problems with the Handle, Tall sleeve holds 27 or 26 problems with Handle. Handle can be used loose (slide in from the bottom of the sleeve) or glued into place.

**💖 Better Together – Magnetic Keychain Pack 💖**

**Better Together** is our Valentine’s 2026 project, featuring 3 adorable mix & match designs: Panda 🐼, Bear 🐻, and Cat 🐱. 

**~🧲 Magnets (optional but recommended)**
- Magnets are optional… but highly recommended for the full _wow_ effect 💖
- Inside the 3MF files you’ll find pre-made magnet slots (we used round D8×2 mm magnets).
- Pause for magnet insertion: layer 27 when printing at 0.16 mm layer height (**already set in the 3MFs**) or 4.36 mm absolute height
- **Using a different magnet size**? No problem! Resize the slots directly in your slicer (we recommend +0.5 mm tolerance compared to the magnet size). Check the [How To Change Magnet Size](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHsJunQBDBw)  Youtube Guide.

**~🔑 Keychain (optional)**
- Available with or without the keychain hole
- We used **2.4 mm ringball keychains**, easy to find and very common
- Also compatible with standard classic keyrings (≈8 mm diameter)

**~🎨 Colors & multi-color printing**
- All models are ready for up to 4-color printers
- Bear version tip 🐻❤️👁️: swap the heart filament (red) with the eye filament (white) halfway through the print and you will get a **5-color design with a 4-color printer**!

**General recommendations ⚠️**
- Before diving into the multi-color print, we highly recommend starting with a single-color **test print** to ensure everything works as expected.
- For multi-color prints, we suggest **filling the bed** to minimize PLA waste from color changes.

**Files available 📂**
- Optimized **3MF** files for BambuLab, Creality, Anycubic and Elegoo for an effortless print experience!
- **STL** files for all printers

_We believe in true love, especially when it's 3d printed_❤️✨

Bring the Saint Louis skyline into your home in true 3D! These make for the perfect gift or home decor for residents, travelers, and admirers of the city.

**This listing includes three different sizes - Small, Medium, and Large - with a solid base and with the water trimmed away.**

_Subscribe to keep an eye on the **new models we release each week**!_

**Steps**:
1. Import the STL to your slicer. 
2. Scale the X or Y dimension to the desired size with 'Uniform scale' checked.
3. Print as one-piece or split into tiles in the slicer for larger sizes.
5. Slice and print!
6. Set on shelf, tabletop, or hang on wall with sticky mounting strips. 
7. Optionally, stylize it with a frame and background mat or multi-color print in your unique way!

**About the models**
These are the most detailed and accurate 3D-printable cityscape and landscape models available. Each is designed and optimized from Micropolitan's 5+ years of experience developing and selling 3D prints of iconic locations worldwide. Each model is designed by hand, using a combination of data and reference imagery. We use LiDAR and refine the architecture, block by block, using digital sculpting tools and satellite imagery. The models are then optimized for detail preservation while keeping the file size manageable for everyday computers.

**Making your piece**
These make perfect centerpieces or collections for your home, to document your travels, or as distinct and unique gifts. Many design options are available - framed and unframed, for wall, tabletop or shelf display. They can be printed in a range of sizes with stunning detail, typically from 6"x6" up to 12"x12"+. The model can be cut into 4+ tiles to print and assemble a piece larger than your build plate. 

- Size: Scale to at least 150x150mm to preserve details.
- Layer height: 0.18-0.25mm
- Nozzle: 0.4-0.6mm
- Infill: 15% Gyroid
- Walls: Arache OFF (use classic)

**Styling and display**
These look great framed or unframed! They can be displayed on tabletops, shelves, or hung on the wall with mounting strips. They look best when lit from the side. Display near a window, lamp or downlight to make the 3D features pop.

**Materials**
Filament: For a minimalist look and best grayscale shadowing, use a matte white PLA. Marble and silky filaments are also popular looks.
Frames: Choose a frame or shadow box that fits your print dimensions. 

This 3D model was developed with reference data sources and satellite imagery from OpenStreetMap © OpenStreetMap contributors and USGS 3DEP.

Corazón con Texto LOVE – Heart LOVE Sign STL – Romantic Decor 3D Print

**9/1/24 Design Improvement:** I've made assembling these cake boxes even easier. Previously, you needed to glue multiple separate bottom cream pieces, which could be time consuming and sometimes tricky to align. Now, all the cream details are part of the bottom plate, allowing you to print one large piece and glue it to the base. This update not only simplifies the assembly process but also ensures perfect alignment every time.

Introducing the Vintage Cake Recipe Box! Inspired by classic cakes from yesteryear, this charming 3D print design adds a nostalgic touch to your kitchen. Featuring a fully 3D printable hinge, it requires no extra items—just a bit of glue for assembly. Designed to fit both 3x5 inches traditional and 4x6 inches standard recipe card sizes.
Beyond holding recipes, it looks super cute on your kitchen counter and can also be used as a storage box for bathroom essentials or jewelry, making it a versatile addition to any room. Perfect for bakers, vintage enthusiasts, and anyone who loves a touch of retro charm!

**Print Settings**
- I recommend using a brim for large items with corners to prevent warping.
- No supports needed for printing. To see the best printing orientation, check the .3mf file.
- 10% infill
- 2-3 walls
- 0.4mm nozzle
- 0.12 - 0.2 mm layer height

**Other Details**
Print at 100% for a 4x6 recipe card or scale to 84% for a standard 3x5 card.

Choose between two cream toppings so you can personalize it even further!

**Assembly**
Watch assembly video here: https://youtu.be/D_Efm2zowLc
**_Note: With the new design update, you can now skip the step where separate cream pieces are glued individually. Instead, simply glue the entire bottom plate, which includes all the cream details, onto the cake for a faster and easier assembly._**




Vintage Cake Recipe Box - Kitsch Container or Jewelry Box

_**Edit 12/15/24:** I uploaded a .3mf file specifically designed for AMS machines. Some minor assembly is still required to eliminate the need for supports. You just have to glue the cream piece onto the top of the lid. Additionally, I've resolved the logo issue that some users encountered on the bottom._

Introducing the charming Vintage Kitsch Cake Jewelry Box, perfect for those looking to add a playful yet retro touch to their decor, while also serving a practical purpose. This delightful circular fake cake doubles as a catch-all container, designed with a kitsch aesthetic reminiscent of the quirky and colorful styles of mid-20th century Americana.

The design features intricate details that mimic the look of a real layered cake, complete with decorative icing and vintage-inspired embellishments. The top layer of the cake conveniently lifts, revealing a hidden compartment perfect for storing small everyday items like keys, jewelry, or coins, making it a versatile addition to any room.

These are available with three different wording options that you can choose to display on the cake, perfect for Mother's day, Teacher Appreciation day, anniversary gift, or birthday gifts.

**Print Settings**
- Requires a brim for the cherries. The rest of the model will not need a brim.
- Support is required for the lid if it is not printed with its top side down. If the lid is printed with the top facing the build plate, no support is needed. The rest of the model should print without support.
- 10% infill
- 2-3 walls
- 0.4mm nozzle
-0.12mm to 0.2mm layer height

**Assembly**
I chose a unique color of PLA for each part of the cake. I then attached the cherry to the cream using super glue and subsequently secured the creams to both the lid and the base of the container. Watch the final assembly here: https://youtu.be/JfNww0KnOHI

_A little snek who slithers so 
surveys the scene and says that though
the seasons slip swiftly away 
some other things are here to stay._ 
 

Slick the Snek is super excited to slip into the Snap-Flex collection.  

Slick was originally going to be showing off the new **Snap-Flex Twist** experimental joint, but his buddy **[Sly - Articulated Snake](https://than.gs/m/1025111)** is doing that instead.

Slick is the 20th creation in a series of Snap-Flex models by Mimetics 3D, and is available for free for a limited time.

 
**Snap-Flex Collection:**
This articulated fidget toy integrates the Mimetics 3D "Snap-Flex" joint. This allows the model to both move smoothly, mimicking the fluid motion of living creatures, AND stabilize in a firm pose, providing a premium fidgeting experience. 
 
Each **SNAP** will resonate as a symphony of satisfaction to your ears, confirming your masterful manipulations.

**Snap-Flex Instructions:**
To Lock: Push Body Segments together
To Unlock: Pull Body Segments Apart
 
**Tolerance:**
To accommodate different printer settings and filaments, I’m uploading 3 different tolerance levels of this model to ensure that you get the best fitting, most satisfying “SNAP” with each of your prints.

This is the **Loose** tolerance model.  For the other tolerances, please check out the other versions of the model below:

**Tight Tolerance Slick, Articulated Snake:**
https://than.gs/m/1018173
**Medium Tolerance Slick, Articulated Snake:**
https://than.gs/m/1018181
**Loose Tolerance Slick, Articulated Snake:**
https://than.gs/m/1018185

Please try out each to see what works best for you, and let me know which version you prefer!

Make sure to revisit frequently for more thrilling Snap-Flex models to come. I'm eager to hear your feedback and collaborate on refining this model going forward.

This model is for personal use only. If you're interested in selling physical prints of this model, please subscribe to the [Mimetics 3D Commercial Tier on Thangs.](https://than.gs/u/934587?plans=true)

This mini little monster is excited to bring a bit more love into your life

**Other Models:**
For another articulated Valentine's friend, check out this little Heart Axolotl:

**Medium Tolerance Alotl Love:**
https://than.gs/m/994480
**Loose Tolerance Alotl Love:**
https://than.gs/m/994484

**Print Settings:**
0.2mm Layer Height
3 Wall Loops
3 Top Shell Layers
**Good Bed Adhesion Required - Consider using glue stick** or a brim

**Suggested Material: PLA or PLA+**
**Note:** Silk PLA is too weak to hold up to repeated use of the Snap-Flex joint.  Use silks at your own risk


**No Supports, Print-In-Place at 100% scale** 
Printing any smaller may disable the Snap-Flex joint.

Printing larger than 100% will make the snap louder AND **harder to pop**, so be sure to do a shorter test print to make sure it's not **TOO hard to snap into place.**

These tolerances are TIGHT and you'll likely have to snap each segment a few times before it's loose enough to snap/unsnap easily. I recommend you use regular PLA or PLA+. ABS might be even better, but I haven't tried it yet.

If you print this in resin, please let me know how it turns out. I imagine you would need a more flexible/less stiff resin for it to work appropriately.
