A Puzzle of Twisted Dissection

This is still in development, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. You need to put the pieces together to form a dodecahedron, which can be quite tricky. It's called a work in progress because I believe the puzzle could come together better than it does now with some clever adjustments. PRINTING: you must print three copies of each of the four STL files, for a total of twelve pieces. Note that piece_3 and piece_4 are essentially mirror images of piece_1 and piece_2, respectively. The pieces won't require much precision or infill but will need some support. ---UPDATE 27 Jan 2019--- I've remade the puzzle with a slightly different value for one parameter (the amount of "twist", basically) and I think it's improved. It holds itself together better yet is still assemblable (too much twist and it can't be assembled!). The piece files now reflect this new geometry.
