You handled the broken piece of elastic band far better than I would have. Staying calm and collected after the frustration of thinking you are doing the right thing over and over again is not an easy thing.

[@subn0rma1]

I would have become so irrationally angry I might have smashed the entire puzzle

[@zSanityz]

It's likely the prying open of the panel is what snapped the elastic. He was supposed to use the crypto to help solve that part. I think he missed a small piece too that would've helped and made it more obvious (it would've sat on the dial so he wouldn't have needed the sharpie either) All that said, I'm always impressed with Chris's mentality and demeanor when handling these kinds of things!

[@slowerthansound]

I would have fitted a new rubber band, closed it, then opened it with the key!

[@froggman66]

[@FirstLast-gw5mg]

I wish the boat had a spring loaded piece to slide out when it leaves dock and block him from falling out of it. But other than that it seems pretty ingenious.

[@rodcaseracing3376]

If you flip the puzzle so that gravity is holding the guy in the boat as you move the boat, it would be easier.. I thought he was holding the puzzle upside-down the whole time he was struggling.

[@mattchiasson3819]

I thought I saw a tiny magnet on the side of the guy, I’m wondering if he just wasn’t facing the right direction.

[@AnssiArpiainen]

for a $1k puzzle it should have been obvious to be in there. whether it was rotated incorrectly or not is just a lazy design error. also the broken elastiband should have been doubled to be working 100% of the time. Understandable mistakes for $30 puzzle. Not for a $1k puzzle

[@rocifier]

I just wish he wasn't lego. Makes the whole thing feel cheaper. Good appeal for kids though to be fair.

[@Joseph-shmoseph]

@@AnssiArpiainen who knows? Maybe the band broke during shipping, which is something that definitely can happen. It happenes with pcs all the time.

[@froogsleegs]

it does look kind of hideous at first glance but when you understand what it actually is, it grows on you and becomes a charmingly gorgeous little thing. I thought the idea of sending a knight on a quest to claim Excalibur in puzzle box form was genius, really well put together too. going through the cave and getting on the boat were fantastic ideas. it's a great example of how versatile 3D printing can be, building things that would otherwise be impossible! truly some brains went into this one.

[@APSwKYLE]

Spin the corner piece that spins , a numbered dial will fall out when it is angled correctly. This is your template for the dial lock. You then need to figure out the correct word or words for the combination.

@@soulsparko true, but we don't know, it all depends on where the band was positioned. Either way, the band wasn't close to the cutter.

[@brianmcclenahan617]

[@DemonicAkumi]

I do believe if it wasn't 3D printed, that would've been a truly amazing puzzle. There's a gem hidden in there, but the faultyness of these 3D puzzles (seen some of them have issues too many times now) held it back a bit. The idea behind it was amazing, though.

[@buddydoeswhat6147]

Dude, that was wild, imagine printing this over and over with every iteration....amazing...

[@gabi6828]

Hi so for anyone wondering there is actually a meaning to those letters and numbers I looked at other videos and it seems that chris might have not received or not found a black wheel with numbers that is meant to go on the silver knob that he uses to open the door (the one where the elastic was broken) it is meant to fall out of the twistie part and you are meant to use the diagram with the letters and numbers to figure out the code. For anyone interested I will leave the video I found as a reply

[@saiko2062]

[@Doktor_Vem]

Finally another puzzle video! I've missed these so much! Thank you for coming back to them! :D

[@TequilaDave]

That broken bit is basically how a safe combination lock works. Very simple but ingenious idea. Edit: You could maybe still use it without an elastic band if you held it upwards to allow gravity to let the lever fall into the gates.

[@immerse_yaself]

This might be my favorite mechanical puzzle I've seen on your channel - it's really thought out, unique and impressive how it all flows. It's a shame that the rubber band snapped tho - probably the only piece other than the lego man, that the creator had to order and trust over making it himself.

[@richardneubauer4469]

And the magnet in the key but i didn’t even think about that. That he literally made every piece but the rubber band and the magnet in the key! Just shows how good he is!!

[@Yaered]

yeah, this felt better in terms of a $1000 puzzle, essentially feels like a classic adventure videogame. Has a small progression line that unlocks new areas to access, key items, and a hidden secret. Doesn't seem that hard to solve and could easily do with some improvements. Hopefully this isn't the only advenutre based puzzle they make.

[@lo-firobotboy7112]

As a toy designer, I feel like this is a very good, almost ready prototype. Use a spring instead of a rubber band, make Arthur click into the boat better, and have the cypher make more sense and it would be very close to a finished product. As is, it's clearly a lot of fun.

27:59 that's funny cause I also thought it was super ugly, but then around the middle of the video realized that I didnt think it was ugly anymore, since the once-clashing colors were now obviously grass and water and wood. Its interesting that you had the exact same flip in opinion :D

Apparently, Chris is missing a wheel with numbers carved on it that comes attached to the silver nob that's used for solving the door puzzle. Looks like the number is somehow associated to unlock the door.

[@curtis6996]

First thought came to me is Arthur Pendragon

[@johnsyeats2044]

9, 3, 7 makes ARTHUR 5, 0, 11 makes GEORGE 1, 6, 4 makes EDWARD Which leaves 2, 8, and 10, which are PE, HA and RO respectively. Not sure what to do with those.

[@zSanityz]

I think it would have to be much larger and much much more expensive unfortunately. Plastic sucks to handle but the accuracy you can get is exponentially better

Absolute genius. If I had a grand to toss, I'd buy one. Price is fairly reasonable for the time it took to design & perfect, I would think.

[@Lonestar1771]

The problem with these 3D printed puzzles is that they won't hold up over time especially if they see regular sunlight. Charging 1k for what amounts to $10-15 in plastic (not including minifig) because you're artificially generating rarity is weird to me. I get charging for r&d but why limit it to 99 when you can sell for $50-100 and build to order? Or even sell them as DIY kits?

[@bluethan806]

The puzzle design conceptually is awesome. I do feel that on a hardware perspective - from the neon green, falling off the boat, the Lego character that can come apart, the jarring spring releases, etc. - could be improved, maybe with more funding!

[@BurnleyNuts]

[@Densmode3dp]

Every puzzle I’ve made the elastic is always the weak point. Should modify it with a spring instead

[@aserta]

Yup. Elastic is perishable these days (cause it's the cheapo compound that uses less natural rubber). And if you're using a rubber piece in a 3D printed puzzle, you might just as well use the spring. Especially since on the latch mechanism could use a strip of spring metal, which is extremely easy to implement.

Lockpicking hobby person here. The numbers seem like they are the numerical stops required for the rotation safe lock to get out the lego guy: Numbers were 9 3 2 then do the following: So 5 rotations right - resets the 3 dials internally. No 1# 4 rotations to the left & stop on 9. No 2# 3 rotations right and stop on 3. No 3# 2 rotations to the left and stop on 2. THEN - rotation right pulls the latch & opens the lock 932 being the locations on a clock to stop the dial at the 12 o'clock mark externally with relation to the dial (with 12 being where the dot was placed in the video)

[@DalioDesigns]

That band that broke could be eliminated by putting a compression spring on the left side of the arm. Done correctly, that should never fail. With all of the other places springs were used, I’m surprised the designer didn’t do it that way. Either way, the thing is an impressive piece of work!

[@jkliao6486]

Late to the comment, but I think that is one of the lego rubber bands. Both the color and the size matches. And with the lego minifig being the main character of this puzzle, I feel like that's why it is used instead of a compression spring.
