<p>This is a calendar and also a puzzle. The original idea came from one of my favorites - <a href="https://www.thinkfun.com/about-us/our_story/extended/">TopSpin</a> </p><p> </p><p><strong>version updated (30 July 2021)</strong><br>> mainbody, lid, ring were made a bit smaller for a better fit</p><p> </p><p><strong>List of files (STL)</strong></p><p>calendarPuzzle_Months<br>calendarPuzzle_Days<br>calendarPuzzle_BlankButton<br>calendarPuzzle_dotButton<br>calendarPuzzle_smileButton<br>calendarPuzzle_crownButton<br>calendarPuzzle_heartButton<br>calendarPuzzle_v3_mainbody<br>calendarPuzzle_v3_lid_with_base<br>calendarPuzzle_v4_ring</p><p> </p><p><strong>Buttons for month and day</strong></p><p>Buttons for months (calendarPuzzle_Months) and days (calendarPuzzle_Days) are in separate files in case you like multi-colors. 12 buttons for the months of course, and considering the day can be viewed as two digits (01 to 31), 12 buttons (0-9, 1, 2) were made for the days. The space in this calendar can hold a total of 26 buttons, that means we can include two blank buttons or emboss with some symbols. I have made a few option buttons:</p><ul><li>button with a dot (calendarPuzzle_dotButton)</li><li>button with a smile (calendarPuzzle_smileButton)</li><li>button with a crown (calendarPuzzle_crownButton)</li><li>button with a heart (calendarPuzzle_heartButton)</li><li>blank button (calendarPuzzle_BlankButton) to emboss your favorite month-day separator</li></ul><p><br><strong>Printing setting:</strong><br>0.15mm resolution <br>15% infills (default setting)<br>no support<br>about the main body: top fill pattern used is "Octagram spiral" which gives a "star" effect. <br>about the lid_with_base: a little glue helps to hold the two little arms on the printing plate.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Assemble instruction (</strong><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxasj5-30Ew"><strong>video</strong></a><strong>):</strong></p><ol><li>print the files according to your preference</li><li>slide in 25 buttons from the opening, put the last button in the lid before closing.</li><li>enjoy the puzzle~~</li></ol><p> </p>
