Centrifugal Puzzle Box (QVL2F63G2) by Maundy
Take a look at the new and improved version in the style of a present that is the perfect gift this Christmas!
Centrifugal Puzzle Box - This is a unique one of a kind 3D printed puzzle box that can store anything with dimensions of less than 39x39x13mm that is opened/solved in an intriguing way, simply spinning the puzzle box on a flat surface will unlock the lid, however this is not that obvious:
On the lid of the box are six sliders of different shapes, these can slide along rails in the lid, there are also three spring loaded buttons that can be pressed and released, however don't be fooled, these sliders and buttons have absolutely no purpose at all in helping solve the puzzle and open the box, these sliders and buttons are simply a distraction to confuse the user.
There is one clue towards the solution of opening this puzzle box for the user, firstly, you may have notice the numbers around the top face of the lid, these are actually coded in the format of "A=1 B=2 C=3" and actually decode clockwise starting from the number after the small circle to read "give-me-a-rapid-spin-to-unlock-my-lid", this may seem hard to notice, and it is, however I have designed an optional additional clue towards finding this clue: This 3D printed keyring (sold separately) contains embedded within it, using a special wax that is trapped within the keyring during the 3D printing process, a QR code and the word 'CLUE' above it (just to make it that bit more obvious), if the user is stuck while solving the Centrifugal Puzzle Box they can choose to reveal this clue by using an IOS device with a camera (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch 4g) to read the QR code by using a barcode reader application (tested with an app called 'Scan') to reveal the text "A=1 B=2 C=3" on the device's display which should help the user decode the message on the puzzles lid helping them to solve the puzzle and open the lid.
The Mechanism -The mechanism used inside this puzzle box is a unique and interesting one and is best described in the video below, there are four 6mm ball bearings (not included) which are inserted into the four channels in the side faces of the box, these ball bearings can move freely in their short channels, the lid has corresponding loops that lower into these channels when the lid is placed on. Once the lid is placed on and the box is given a shake, the ball bearings should all be at random points in their channels, some will be across these loops in the lid which will stop that loop from being pulled out stopping the lid being pulled off thus locking the puzzle. When the puzzle is spun, all the ball bearings travel to the outside of their channel so none are obscuring the loops in the lid meaning the lid can now be freely removed therefore unlocking the puzzle.
Some excess powder from the 3D printing process may be left in the holes around the top face of the puzzle box that the pins in the lid go into preventing the lid from being placed on fully and preventing the puzzle box from locking, this powder can be removed easily by simply using a unfolded paperclip to scrape the powder out of the bottom of the holes and tapping the box upside down to remove the powder.
The distraction sliders may also need a bit of wriggling to get them to start sliding due to trapped powder from the 3D printing process.
Please note that six 6mm ball bearings are required for this puzzle to work, they can be purchased very cheaply on eBay.

Brooklyn-based designer Fleet Hauer and 3D Hubs have teamed up to release 3D printed Lock-Nesters puzzles. The Lock-Nester collection is represented by six puzzles, the complexity of which varies from 5 to 185 pieces. In the future, the developers plan to introduce over 100 color combinations.
“I've always loved jigsaw puzzles, I liked to put the pieces together, but I just missed the freedom that our 3D version gives,” says Hauer. nine0209 Instead of using standard shapes, Hauer decided to come up with his own version of the connection for each part, the design of which depended on its shape and the shape of the parts located nearby. As a result, a close connection formed between the finished three-dimensional figurine and its every detail, which only added to its unusualness and attractiveness.
Hauer chose 3D printing technology to create his puzzles because it is ideal for quick and easy prototyping.
After a lot of trial and error, he managed to find the best connection options that allowed the parts to stick together and not fall apart. “The details of the first prototype didn’t stick together at all. The same thing happened with the second one. It wasn’t until after a few hundred failures that I finally had a sort of flair for good connections.” nine0005
Since every part was different, 3D printing proved to be the best option for Hauer's vision and allowed him to move on to large-scale production. “Traditional methods such as injection molding come with prohibitively high costs. On the other hand, 3D printing is an affordable and convenient way of production, for which the shape of the products does not matter,” explains Hauer.
Puzzle prices start at $15. They can be printed at any of the 8,000 points of the global network of 3D Hubs. This means that customers can order puzzles printed from 3D Hubs and have them delivered to their homes, saving on shipping and third-party services.
