This is insane and totally inspiring. I think the most amazing part of the model is the fact you managed to make a part freely rotate around another without it touching the print bed using those tiny little tabs that broke free with the first use of the key. Holy crap I am 100% stealing that technique! :D

[@make.anything]

Thanks! I can always count on you to appreciate the tiny details 😁

[@VincentGroenewold]

After the tip I hope. :) Amazing these are free, thanks man!

How many microns did you print it at?

[@pyr0maniacyt363]

Bro, I'm going to print these with transparent filament.

[@trentbauman8483]

Yes

[@riashroff2658]

Mr. Puzzle has a great example of drawing out and learning how to figure out a complex blind puzzle like your third lock puzzle

[@mastergscrewu]

I can’t believe that you make these great things and decide to share them for free man! You’re awesome man, great great work! My favorite 3D printing channel by far!

[@annakeirn268]

I agree

[@palfly1864]

Can you send one puzzle box to chris ramsey? I'm sure he will like it!

[@titanic157]

flops 01 came to this video partly for the vid, mostly for this comment!

[@vojtechflidr9157]

Great idea!

[@avelkm]

Yeah, send it to Chris!!!

Mysterious huh? Puzzling, even?

[@defaultdan7923]

I was trying to build suspense, but the title of the video gives it away, as always.

[@Koolkole27]

I am dying to see more puzzles. Not just from you but from the 3D printing community puzzle boxes especially hard ones for adults and not just for children like I see so many like that. I wish more videos would be made on tips and such for coming up with mechanisms and such for the designing of them process.

[@riashroff2658]

Puzzle boxes are great! You are so incredibly creative you definitely inspire me to make more. Love watching your videos.

[@Hawk1966]

Not really a puzzle kinda guy but I can appreciate the work and skill that went into the project. The fact that it's print in place is mind blowing. Awesome stuff, thanks!

[@jacen3716]

Cool! I always enjoy watching your videos!

[@mr.fluffycow7555]

love the pun at the start! 10/10

[@harrymclarry3065]

This is incredible. Mega props to you.

[@funnytourtoise]

Someone should send one of these to Chris Ramsey... Would be a good KZbin crossover!

[@NDPuzzles]

Awesome. YOu beat me again. I'm working on a puzzle box as well (not my first one) but print-in-place is something I definitelly did not consider up to now. Great idea!

[@KessaWitdaFro]

I love when communities overlap

[@SPBHJ]

when you realize how good the logo really is...

[@treeoflife7151]

watching the design process is amazing ! thank you for sharing. great stuff.

[@sporkyporks4438]

I'm getting my first printer on my birthday because you inspired me. Thank you

[@hrhodes2768]

did you get the printer?

[@asalottin]

This is glorious -- congratulations! You definitely doesn't cease to amaze!

[@phorton7039]

Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing.

[@Evan-hm7tz]

i love how you encourage the bending of rules

[@meshabotes9294]

I'm totaly a huge fan of solving things and I think this is a big winner

[@dedekat1631]

You make such cool content! And things! The problem solving and adjustments you make are fun to watch. You don't just copy what you have seen you make it yours and expand on it far beyond what I thought was possible!

[@gingerprince2062]

*This CAD has gotta be crazy! It would be AMAZING if you showed us how you did it.*

[@joey1_]

I'm in on project reef because of you thank you I needed that

[@OGRECubes]

I like how it's partly print in place

[@TheoParis]

Awesome!!!!! I can’t wait to print the big one!

[@allliver123]

have this printing rn, cant wait to try! thanks for the great models :D

[@LuxordGenius]

Can you do another “How to Make Anything” tutorial on how you make these lock puzzles?? Or at least the concept because I. AM. ADDICTED. I wanna make ones for my friends/family as gifts to send out during this COVID-19 quarantine.

[@gnomoarmatodiascia6029]

I love your works man!! Thank you for all these amazing stuff!

[@bolman125]

This design is frraking awesome

[@johndiy6420]

Just came across this and printed puzzle 07. Works great on prusa 2.5S. Thankyou for showing us this. This is both educational and fun. Keep up the good work as its really useful stuff.

[@fusionmakeseverything7890]

Can't wait to watch dude your stuff is always great.

[@RonFloyd]

Gotta love how your mind works - LOL! Thanks again Devin!

[@galacticgaming5058]

You are a genius, keep doing what you do best it’s awesome to see cool new stuff done with 3D printing

[@charlotteayotte2951]

What a cool box! Love your channel!!

[@ytwdh]

Excellent presentation. Excellent build. 10/10. Would watch again. -Siskel and Ebert.

[@zaheerahmedmonye9888]

That timelapse was awesome. Superb video.

[@midnightglider2182]

man, I love your prints

[@bobbykeyz1263]

Those are definitely awesome my friend. I have a locksport channel but I also have 5 printers so I'll definitely be printing out a few of your puzzles to show off on my channel. Thanks.

[@cuttheskit7905]

That you engineered it to print in place is amazing. You have a lot of design and cad skills that I don’t, so I don’t want to sound like I think I know more than you, but I work in game design and I’d say there are a few things to be aware of when designing puzzles. 1. Red herrings rarely produce positive feelings. If they’re used in a particularly creative way or give some benefit to the player (such as extra time or a hint to make up for the time lost on the red herring) then they’re not so bad. In the example you showed where one position works and one position almost works, a good number of people are going to assume their printer left some unintended artifact on the inside and they’re going to force it. 2. Variety is the most important thing. You could argue that your puzzle box has several distinct puzzles such as the gear teeth/key (that’s a really good idea by the way) and the twisty maze. To a lot of players though, they’re just turning the large key in several different ways. Especially if they got caught by your red herring near the start, turning that large key will just have them paranoid that they’re going to run into another time wasting trap. 3. It should be easy for the player to avoid repeating the same wrong solution. Maybe a marker or numbered dial on top of they key, and numbered bands along the side to help players keep track of which positions they’ve already tried would help. Anyway, I can’t exaggerate how impressed I am by your designs. Your dedication to printing in place is amazing too. Keep up the good work.

[@samuelgomes6558]

Cool vid man!!! Love puzzles

[@ninfarrel]

It's a great desing, I dont know how much work and time you put to this project, but it is awesome. I really enjoy watching your videos, you are a very good designer.

[@btngana2077]

yaaaay another fancy timelapse

[@SmiteoPuzzles]

very cool! nicely done!

[@Evan-hm7tz]

love this my dude

[@FatalNoogie]

That's a really well-done time-lapse video of the print process. So cool! :o

[@bboydradle]

This is incredibly impressive.

[@vinshin3320]

Yes!!!!11!! another video with a bunch of puns!

[@umake3dprinting]

Woah this is some next level stuff dude! Nice work!

[@NicMediaDesign]

You inspired me to get into 3D design and printing.

[@kathrynorvis3422]

I’m going to print all of these thing!!!

[@RomanoPRODUCTION]

Cringe of Madlad here. Print and have fun 💓

[@fritze.2966]

Hi Devin, I was a very great joy for me to print your puzzle box. I din't know that we should print it in 0.15 and printed it with 0.2. But fortunately it's working too with 0.2 layer THANK YOU very much! regards Fritz

[@Myminifactory]

Great great work!

[@oryantezuka]

this is the best channel on youtube

[@sofilislopez5146]

cool and genious as always devin! :))

[@usegnu1485]

For most things I like my parts a little tight fitting unless it's a spot that I can't sand. If it's too tight I sand it and if it's a moving part that rubs another part sanding helps it move smoother.

[@MrKawaiiKing]

👑I love this puzzle, I actually want this puzzle for myself👑

[@mattieo2844]

Embarrassing photo from that Christmas party? Is that a SpongeBob reference? It's a SpongeBob reference isn't it >_>

[@davidmgjogos]

Man! I wish I had a 3d printer. Puzzles are so cool.

[@icyike99]

Just realized how clever your logo was.

[@jennaborges9300]

Just went I already knew I liked your videos you slip in that subtle sponge Bob reference! Hell ya!! 😁

[@joshuamiller6601]

Hello and welcome back to Mr. Puzzle

[@minecraftmaster2609]

That’s awesome

[@clarkkent7973]

You should send this to Mr. Puzzle

[@alexbevan2183]

This video is awsom! Can you make more stuff like this please?

[@DamienRufus]

Made it, it’s awesome

[@tobyoleary3633]

Damien Rufus did it take long

[@KilianKlein]

This is amazing! I think you should add your "maze lock pick" puzzle to lock the yellow key in place first! :)

[@TheSomar1991]

Nice work

[@jimlee4649]

Would love to see how you designed it in F360.

[@liveabovethecrowd]

Love the locks! I did a speed run of #10 in 3.85 seconds

[@ryder8532]

That's cool

[@Druforithe]

Liked your puzzle. Print in place capability is pretty slick. Though I don’t think the ability to store a fortune from a fortune cookie qualifies it as a ‘box’.

[@galacticgaming5058]

Chris Ramsey has been recently into cool puzzle boxes and things like that, you should send him one!

[@carbide1968]

WOW, you are amazing at designing print in place puzzles. Would you consider going even further with a step or two more to solve it, maybe even bigger with more shapes or using that key to start another puzzle? Endless possibilities really.

[@thehoneyqueen1765]

This is cool.

[@jessieshaw4759]

😱I want that and need it

[@Anonymous-uq1bf]

*COOL*

[@almightychito6702]

I love the cr 10 jusr bought simplify 3d any advice on what i should print

[@ulyxi.e]

0:28 Take your lock at this XD

[@willierants5880]

Almost...

[@mosskid_]

Reeee i said this before u but my comment has only 7 likessss :(((

[@half4team]

Printed it. Looks very cool! I could not get it to break free though. One site of the key, on top was fused to the part. Needed a knife to get it free, partly ripping the toplayers of the box. Maybe a tiny bit more space between the key and the lock?

[@jacen3716]

Could you do a review on the Monoprice Voxel. There are none as of now and it seems like a great printer. I might get one. For $400 it has: Touch screen, 50 micron z precision, fully enclosed, heated bed, decent print size, wifi ability, removable plate, and a camera! I dont know weather or not to get it though. It is from a reliable company buy I have a good printer already.

[@juliac.4635]

Jace N Did you get it? if so, how is it. i am 13 years old and i have saved up money from doing yard work, and babysitting. i am dying to get a 3D printer so i was just curious 😄

[@powerofthec5908]

Why would you need a camera on a 3d printer?

[@nathanrichards8058]

Can you make a video on how to make an octolapse please? Thank you in advance.

[@tymtyrymtym9718]

Can u make video about software what u use to modelling? and what program is good at start.

[@oswaldhomolka]

Try printing a large sphere or cube and carv it instead of printing itself, maybe a but counterintuitive but to me it seems pretty cool as a proof of concept atleest.

[@NicksStuff]

You should send some to the lockpickinglawyer :-)

[@paulbrady2801]

Did you use any supports etc... by the way awesome 👏

[@jossa6148]

MOAR

[@lexishouse975]

15:20 is this a spongebob reference 😅😅😅

[@simonsinning2936]

hello, Devin. I have an idea for you. you could make a cylinder lock body, and instead of having one pin going down in the body, you could make two. that way you could actually lock something with it

[@lolboi7038]

Simon Sinning ÑØ

[@IulianOnofrei]

It's ironic that even LastPass itself had a security breach :))

[@MTMargraf]

can you post a video on how to make one of the lockpick puzzles

[@Citizen5000]

Oh boy this was tough to print. It would always curl up on the thread and eventually the head would ram into it, missing steps and create layer shifts.I think it might be my insufficient cooling, I put fans up but it didn't fix it. I managed to fully print it pretty well by using an insane 2mm z-hop. Unfortunately both thread were seized and the free spinning thread part on the pin was fused strongly to the pin. This again mostly due to z-issues, curling and droop. I had to cheat and look at the file to understand which parts are supposed to be separate. I was able to break everything loose but because of only 5% infill and two outer layers the pin broke. I glued it with some toothpicks and now the puzzle is actually usable. Nice job designing this! :)

[@cheesiestmaster879]

I play a 3d creative sandbox game and am going to try and make lock puzzles in it that can be controlled from a panel in the back

[@m2pt5]

You should send copies to some puzzle youtubers, like Mr. Puzzle.

[@techformsmaster930]

I like the small ones, but I want to use them as actual locks!

[@dincaionclaudiu]

Nice

[@kirankankipati-thelinuxcha689]

This is SUPER AWESOME. I am not sure whats the with dislikes. This is super awesome, fun entertaining. And requires lot of skill and creativity. Loved the big puzzles. I think you can sell your stuff, probably gift to Tim from Grand Illusions ;)

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

Weird timing I literally just got back into locksport as a hobby and got lockpicking stuff today in the mail.

[@leo.apollaro]

Yo!!! Amazing!!!! Send one to Chris Ramsey!!!

[@emilyc5903]

You should do the red pazold box
