1x2x3 Puzzle Zee

thingiverse

This is an easy-to-assemble and turn 1x2x3 rotating Rubik-style Puzzle Zee, allowing users to create interactive art! When the remix challenge was announced, I browsed through the Remix Challenge Collection for inspiration on something to build. The Zee Blank caught my eye because it reminded me of a bear sculpture series I saw at the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha. Each sculpture is the same shape but painted differently, showcasing each artist's creative vision for the bear. I decided to take it to the next level by combining it with another item from the Remix Challenge Collection, the Ozo 1x2x3 puzzle bear, making it an interactive piece of art! So, I imported the Zee Blank into Tinkercad and started slicing and dicing. I knew that simply posting pictures of a blank one wouldn't be enough since the whole point of the Zee Blank is to use it as a canvas for creative expression. I looked again at the Remix Challenge Collection for inspiration and decided to base my creation on the excellent Bearded Yell sculpture. For added detail, I drew Beefy Arms (as beefy as possible for a Zee) and had him hold the Baby's First Mace. Behold the Beefy Armed Bearded Yell with his battle mace! Or maybe he's yelling to his baby that he found her mace! Print Settings Supports: Yes Notes: I printed this model with two shells and 5% infill. I didn't use support on mine, but there was a small amount of droop on the feet that cleaned up easily. I recommend using support on the feet due to their overhang; in my case, it wasn't necessary. Also note that on my print, the edges started to pull up a little. That's why you see a small crack where the pieces meet. I suggest using a brim or other means to ensure that the edges don't lift.
