Computer's Choice - 5 Hole

thingiverse

This is the "Computer's Choice 5-Hole" puzzle, originally discovered and published by Bill Cutler at billcutlerpuzzles.com. I decided to give it a try, so I printed it out. It's definitely a tough one. You'll want to wait until you're pretty skilled at this type of puzzle before attempting it. This STL was generated with Enso from the attached .xmpuzzle file. Enso outputs OpenSCAD files that reference Aaron Siegel's excellent Puzzlecad library on thingiverse.com, which are used for the final rendering as an STL. You don't need the .xmpuzzle file to print it out; it's a file that can be loaded into Burr Tools at sourceforge.net, allowing you to explore and solve the puzzle. I recommend printing on a raft.
