3d asterisks puzzle

thingiverse

Originally, I had a wooden puzzle of interconnected pieces forming a 3D asterisk. Desiring a plastic version, I took up the challenge of creating one with nine distinct components. Although there are merely three unique shapes, assembly requires some thought. The final piece demands a firm push for proper placement. Upon completion, slight slackness may be noticed; however, it remains stable without disassembling easily. Future improvements could refine this design even further, but in the meantime, enjoy the challenge!
