21 Cube Dissection Puzzles

thingiverse

Here are twenty-one distinct puzzles based on dissecting a sixty-four unit cube into four separate components. Six pairs of pieces are provided, allowing you to create a puzzle by combining any two pairs. The resulting puzzle pieces must be assembled into a single cube. This can be achieved using the same pair twice for a total of 21 possible puzzles. The puzzles come in four distinct types: four where all four pieces are identical, eight where the pieces are divided into two categories, eight where the pieces are categorized into three groups, and one where all four pieces are unique. To obtain the puzzle with all different pieces, select the pair pieces_1_and_2.stl and the pair pieces_3_and_4.stl. OpenSCAD code is also included.
