All of Geranium puzzles (mini geranium, pocket geranium, geranium and super geranium)

thingiverse

Recently I made my Mini Geranium puzzle. It's very fun to play. The only thing I don't like is it doesn't look as cool as Original Very Puzzle's toys. I decided to make an acrylic frame. But since I also want to have a whole series of Geranium puzzles, I ordered laser cutting for all puzzles at once. Fortunately, all puzzles use the same moving pieces, so no need to design each one specifically. Here is the result for Mini Geranium and Pocket Geranium. I am still printing higher-grade puzzles - Geranium and Super Geranium. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRKCBltuwPA&feature=youtu.be The result looks great. Though I have to admit that it feels much heavier than printed one. Moving is somewhat viscous, perhaps due to too smooth piece surfaces that tend to stick. I am working on a solution. I will be glad to see your makes as well as comments on the design UPDATE 2016-07-26: I finally printed and assembled Geranium puzzle. This time I used slightly different moving parts design - pieces are hollow which reduces area of contact between pieces and frame. This should address viscous movement issue. I also increased some fillets radius so 'corner cutting' should be also improved. See STLs with 'FDM hollow' prefix. Though I have not played with Geranium yet as I stuck with Pocket Geranium solving. https://youtu.be/sA4hQ5P4jS4 As for Pocket Geranium, I improved pieces movement as well by applying these 2 tricks: Sanded back side of the pieces with very rough sanding paper. Thus pieces do not stick to frame so much when using lubricant. I reduced height of the pieces so that pieces are not too tight in frame. Acrylic sheets you have you may want to tweak moving parts. This is easy, you just need to change few variables: L1Thickness and L2Thickness - thickness of acrylic sheets you are using for Frame and Frame2 ZClearance, L1SideClearance and L2SideClearance - clearance between moving parts and frame VisibleDiameter and InvisibleDiameter - main diameters (original puzzles use 70 and 77 mm respectively) When you are all set with your tweaks, just export STLs and print them as usual.
