Are you sure it goes together? I can see the directions the pieces need to go, but I can't make them fit.

very cool, but now it's assembled, impossible to open it, I should have grind it a little <a rel="" target="" href="http://img.soleil42.fr/IMG_9767.jpg">http://img.soleil42.fr/IMG_9767.jpg</a> half size print thanks Gijs

Thanks Gijs! I got it! I am so glad you didn't send me the solution or anything, it was fun trying to figure it out. It's a great puzzle, and you're right, once I had both pieces in the right position, I knew I was onto something.

the model was made based on this one: http://rinusroelofs.nl/sculpture/rp-models/rp-model-004.html on that page you will see maybe how they should fit together. good luck!

I still cant get it! It is hard. I know exactly how they are supposed to fit together I just cant get them together. Any hint?

See my comment above. No bending required. You will know immediately once you've found the right orientation!

I just printed this. I printed 2 of them since the plate had only one piece on it and you said the puzzle was 2 identical pieces. I am still having trouble putting it together, do the pieces have to bend, or do you have to use force?

No, parts are not twistable. If you don't grind the parts, you should still be able to assemble half way. I printed the pieces as in the rendering / stl

Hi, printed here (but but in a more convenient position for printing for me). Thanks for the design! Out of curiosity: did you print it in the same position we see on the rendering picture? I think I see how they are supposed to assemble but can't make it now (even if the parts are very clean). Needs some more grinding I guess! Also I did it with 100% infill, so it may be less flexible than yours (default fast settings is 10% infill I think?). So you can probably twist the parts a little to assemble them? Mine are... strong. And rigid. Not cooperative :) Daid: if you read this: In the quickprint mode of Cura, a tooltip over the 3 different quality print modes or details in the Cura manual to remind the parameters used would make discussions between makers easier :) I had to go in the gcode to figure what parameters Gijs used in the "fast mode" that he was mentioning. And I guess people using the quickprint usually don't think of mentioning temp values, or infill ones. The tooltips over each field in the full settings mode are SO convenient and useful!

This would also make a nice dual-extrusion model, printed at once with both pieces in a different color

Yes, it's a bit counter intuitive to get the pieces together. Also in the beginning they can be a bit tight. It might be necessary to sand the spiral surfaces a bit

Hi Gijs, thank you for the great design! I printed it without support, worked just fine! But I still didn't get it assembled^^ will have to try it again.

Hi Gijs, as admin I can see you haven't actually published this cool design. If you intended to share it, I'd love to feature it. Also, you can make it part of the "Toys" Category.
