A Puzzle of Twisted Dissection

A Puzzle of Twisted Dissection

cults3d

This project is a work in progress, and I'm eager to hear your thoughts on it. Assembling the pieces into a dodecahedron requires a bit of puzzle-solving; the pieces themselves come from dissecting the dodecahedron in an unconventional way. While I consider it a work in progress, I believe with some creative adjustments, the puzzle could assemble and hold together better than it currently does. PRINTING: You'll need to print three copies of each of the four STL files, resulting in 12 individual pieces. It's worth noting that piece_3 and piece_4 are the mirror image of piece_1 and piece_2, respectively. The pieces won't require intricate precision or infill; however, they will necessitate some support. ---UPDATE January 27th, 2019--- I reworked this puzzle with a slightly different parameter value (the degree of "twist"), essentially, and I think the puzzle has improved significantly. It now holds itself together better while still being assemblable. The piece files reflect this new geometry.
