Breakout EDU Maze directional lock clue

thingiverse

Printing a long maze takes almost 7 hours at an infill rate of just 8%. A bit of minor cleanup is needed after printing, as some light stringing occurs on the inside. Printing the maze slightly smaller might be better and faster - maybe at 80% infill instead? Stringing was more difficult to remove on the second print than on the first, but using dental picks really helped a lot. To use this breakout in a puzzle, students insert the disc into the hole labeled "in". Then they tilt the ESEN, and the disc pops out of the "out" hole on the back. The ESEN opens the directional lock in the process. The second maze produces the WNWS clue. Printing the disc takes about 12 minutes at 100% infill, which adds a bit more weight to it. I decided not to use marble with this maze because I think the disc allows for more control while solving the puzzle, but I've included the marble .STL in case someone might find a use for it anyway.
