Angus: print it in clear My brain 5 seconds before: GET A HAMMER

[@make.anything]

This thing looks insane! My first thought for solving was to map out the maze with tape around the outside, but using a magnet seems more fun :) Thanks for the shoutout on the Lock Puzzles!

[@MakersMuse]

Haha the first version did have the path on the outside too but... Too easy!

[@Minemac2]

Got mine printed and solved. Ended up almost solving it by accident just rolling it around and got it open. My mom was also able to get it open with a similar method. I really would love one with a more complicated maze style path with dead ends and such. Great Puzzle!

Awesome intro Angus! well done

[@louissarrazin660]

Hello Angus and everyone else. Watching your videos got me to buy my first 3D printer. Got it yesterday, and of course the only thing i could do for my first print was the MM stress test. Had to restart it 3 time after it completed about 5%. Because of all ive learned here and on 3D PN i was able to troubleshoot early and solved the probleme i was having. Wish i could show a picture of the result, apart from the bottom layer that fused on the 0.15 and 0.2 (wich was easily fixed after the print) it came out perfect and that was on 200US printer. Next print "Easter torture egg" Keep up the great work,thanks for everything.

[@fritze.2966]

[@pazetto]

I think this channel should be called maker's maze now

[@sjeses]

In clear with the RGB looks so satisfying

[@wpherigo1]

Great work, Angus. I do think that as a challenge to you, and as a way to make the puzzle more accessible, an unlock or alternate disassembly mechanism could be devised (pulling the inner wall in, causing the ball to drop, for instance). Unless your magnetic approach is fairly straight forward.

[@mozkitolife5437]

👏👏👏👏👏 I'd like to see a standalone role play video of you or someone attempting to solve it within an hour and doing an ending accordingly based on failure or success. Seems like the 100% rage quit rate so far makes a success ending unlikely.

[@MakersMuse]

I can solve it fairly fast now through memory but it could be a fun stream haha

[@rmdcade1717]

Nifty intro. Wish I had my printer set up. I'd love to give this a shot.

It was a great print but I expected it to be more difficult, maybe you could add some dead ends in a v2, that would be evil! But you made a really great job and it makes a nice display on my desk.

[@medyk3D]

aMAZEing!

[@krilleric64]

Looks awesome. Ím a geocacher and I have printed some 3d puzzles and I just wonder about this puzzle if the ball falls out when you open it and if so is it difficult to put it back to lock the puzzle. Like your videos very informative

[@mattlogue1300]

Neat I may try it once I get my darn springs for my ender bed

[@screechyboi6011]

Hear me out, you should try printing 2040 extrusion beams and attach them to the existing machine, essentially printing the printer longer (you could also try the z screw). Ive tried it on an ender 3 and it somehow worked, and I now have a 300mm tall z axis.

[@mozkitolife5437]

Interesting. Can't imagine it being a robust add-on, not requiring regular replacements.

[@ChadLower]

I got it open after about 3 days of messing with it off and on. Maybe 30 minutes of actual time spent on it. I did have an example of the puzzle to look at to understand where the ball needed to go. So that was and advantage.

[@shurmurray]

You probably should finally try to learn OpenSCAD. Maybe in conjunction with a solidPython lib. It going to unlock craziest parametric and procedural designs!

[@tomdelaney19464]

This is so cool ! Question though- if you solve the puzzle and extract the Ball bearing, how do you reload for the next person ?

[@sqboyDan]

Can we get that @chrisramsay collab?

[@Itsbite]

i love watching your channel and have for years, being an orphan and child in care it was a dream to have a 3d printer but never could so watched your videos that kept me entertained, i turned 18 in august, got a job and happy to say got an ender 3 v2 3 days ago! im just curious what would people recommend for tuning? i want to purchase some kits to 3d print parts for 3d printers for children in care like i was and for a charity focused on helping young orphans, so need a pretty precise print any help would be great :)

[@bobaliston2700]

Very cool design. But i wonder if a metric version could be made availble too. It's very hard to get inch-balls in non-USA areas. 10mm vor example is a very common size. Thx

[@Busterblade20]

Send it to Mr. Puzzle he will surely solve it.

[@spoinlar]

[@andrewg7101]

Just bought the design off your website. Looking forward to getting the printing started. Can you share a link to where you bought your 1/2" bearings from? (Aus link is fine) Also - would a smaller diameter bearing (say 10mm) also work...?

I purchased them off an aus ebay reseller, they had lots in stock and shipped quickly. Can find the link later!

[@anventia]

Cool puzzle! I found a half inch ball in my house so I might print this! How long does it take to print? Do you mean a day to print as in 24 hours?

[@andy_warb]

Angus, could you hide the magnet inside the puzzle? Like they have to solve it the natural way first but then it allows them to loosen it enough to access the magnet. That would be pretty devious!

[@MakersMuse]

Yeah you probably could! Quite devious indeed

[@xxorza]
