this is probably the worst case scenario for a puzzle maker. have your puzzle featured on a giant puzzle plattform only to fail in an unexpected way.

[@ObsessiveGeek]

@@rademicpuzzles1013No other options were available, it was very clearly stuck and caused damage on the inside. Manufacturing mistakes happen, being upfront and honest about these things is always the best approach.

[@culwin]

Good in a way though, because it gives you the chance to fix a problem, that you wouldn't have known about otherwise.

[@astrobot3038]

@@rademicpuzzles1013Blaming customers and reviewers is never the way. This is a bad look. Take the criticism and learn from it.

New puzzle fear unlocked, a puzzle you can't solve because it's actually broken and you don't know it.

[@raymitchell9736]

Looks like a good puzzle, I'm sure they will try and understand the problem and fix it and it will be fine.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I am sure they will 👍

[@AmethystinePython]

I solved my own copy of this one a few days ago, and had the same issue. My solve-journey was very similar to yours, in fact. - In the end, once I got inside and found how I had originally jammed it, I fixed it by adding material into the 'locking divot' that exists in the floor of the back of the head. To be clear, that hole in the floor is where the rotating pillar with the 'orbiting planet' will screw down and lock the whole puzzle shut. If the hole is machined too deeply, there will be enough room for the planet to begin rubbing up against the floor and jamming. The jam becomes worse if concussive [hitting] force knocks the planet further in the rotation that wedges it more tightly against the floor. So, the hole is too deep, and is the cause of everything else going wrong. Ergo, make it less deep. I have wax for making wooden puzzles work more smoothly, so I tamped down a small amount of wax into the locking hole (using the locking rod itself to push it down). It only needs to be amount a millimeter or so, and the tip of the metal rotating rod will not jam, as wax is 'slippery'. This keeps the planet from ever touching the floor. If too much wax is added to the hole, you can simply scrape some of it out with a small blade of some kind, to find the correct level. One tiny disadvantage: At the ideal level of depth, when the puzzle is fully locked, the nose of the puzzle face will screw back in 99% as much as before. In a perfect world, I would remove a tiny amount of length from the rod, to let the nose fit fully back inside, but it's not as though the nose is displaced to any noticeable degree.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Thanks for that feedback. I think this confirmes that I'm not the only one having that issue and we are talking about a design issue.

[@kylekinkade9211]

I REALLY like the suspended ball inside that screws the pin out.

[@BlokeOzzie]

This Is the problem when you have puzzles that could have a multitude of different mechanisms for solving it. You can inadvertently end up causing a failure of a mechanism that was not intended to be manipulated in a particular way. A warning about not using particular force may be required or instead a rethink of the mechanism to prevent force from causing the problem.

[@sharky98]

I suspect it got stuck when you were pushing (maybe too hard?) while rotating it. You said yourself that there is a bit that moved further down. So, if you pushed down at the same time maybe it is when it got stuck. Friction always win 😅

[@Mr.Puzzle]

I also think I screwed it in with roatin it and at the end, after reaching the hard stop, giving it an additional rotation with the screwed in part what entirely fixed it.

[@BluishGreenPro]

It’s meet the managed to cram a few different designs into such a similar form factor

[@Kember138]

I just received mine and it's doing the same thing. It's jammed.

[@ezion67]

A simple washer or small bushing might solve the problem.

[@peterbarclay4422]

I got one of the first run and it works perfectly. Took me around 20 mins to solve. I have all 4 of the Demonticons released so far and all of them have been precision engineered in my experience.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Glad to hear it worked in your case

[@triskel3t]

Hi, do they all have different mechanism and worth buying for not superhardcore collector? Also which one was the most interesting, and/or took most time to solve?

[@peterbarclay4422]

@@triskel3t Hi! Yes, all of the mechanisms are totally different and interesting in their own way. None are particularly difficult, all probably sub 30min to solve. They’re pretty expensive for what they are but if you’re not a collector I’m sure they’d be very easy to sell on 👍🏻

[@triskel3t]

@@peterbarclay4422 Thanks for info, i think it confuses a lot of folks, as exterior is roughly the same and site doesnt say clearly that they are totally different.

[@forsta6654]

Ich frag mich echt, wie du die ganzen Puzzle lagerst? Hast du eine Vitrine oder Schränke dafür? Ich hab nicht mal ansatzweise so viele Puzzle wie du und bin schon am verzweifeln, wo ich die alle hintun soll.... Falls du da einen coolen Tipp hast, wäre ich dir sehr dankbar. 👍

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Leider stapelt sich bei mir alles im Regal und ist absolut nicht vorzeigbar. Im Wohnzimmer habe ich einige wenige die man mal jemandem in die Hand geben kann zum probieren.

[@mikej4532]

I had no issues with mine, mechanism very smooth. Maybe luck. However I recently brought Turtle Trip and I ended up opening the puzzle to fix 3 problems so the last stage worked correctly. Anyone else had the same? It’s a brilliant puzzle still and I’m waiting for a response from the designer.

[@fothrmuckr]

Ive thought about solving puzzles Nd posting them for so long. But i know you do that. So it just feels like I'd be doing the same as you. So here i am , having not posted a single solved puzzle and not starting the journey. Rippp

Do whatever makes you happy. Don’t worry what others are doing.

[@triskel3t]

i got mine today, was rather quick solve, 15 min, probably my intuition got powered up by all my puzzles, no problems with mechanism. BTW, someone knows other demonticons all have this core mechanism, or they all different? Looks similar from exterior, dont know if i should buy others..

[@AmethystinePython]

They're all different, I have them all.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

They are all completely different.

I guess the look on the face is appropriate for what happened 🥴

No, never tried it

[@Alfakyn1]

@@Mr.Puzzle I got one like 15 years ago for a birthday, and never solved it mostly cause i was too young for that, and it was way too hard for me. It may not be in the initial state cause I tried it a bit, but maybe you could solve it anyway. Would you be interested to get it ? And if so, how can I send it to you ?

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Sure, anytime that would be great! You can find my shipping address at the channel info tab here on KZbin.

Make sure not to leave small magnetic balls where children can get to them. Children like to eat things, and strong magnets in the digestive system can cause terrible medical problems. A notable number of children have died as a result of eating these.

[@Mr.Puzzle]

Absolutely not a children toy, I totally agree. It's like with many other things e.g. small batteries etc. Nothing to be in child's hands at all!
