<h3>Objective</h3>Improve your coordination and fine-motor skills with this challenging dovetail puzzle box. <h3>Solving the Puzzle</h3> The puzzle is considered solved when there are six separate pieces. <h3>Assembly</h3>To start assembly, hold the tail so that the circular hole is on the right. Then take the lockingpin and insert it in the middle hole until flush. Insert the verticalslide into the deepest part of the left groove with the square hole facing up. Take the horizontalslide and place it in the shallower part of the groove, thin piece pointing toward the verticalslide. Slide the pin onto the tail, so that the rectangular groove is above the verticalslide. Align the pin and tail so the hole on the right side of the tail is just visible. Slide the tool into the round hole on the outside of the tail until flush. Remove the tool and place it in the exposed hole on the inside of the tail. Slide tail and pin together to form a closed box. Lastly, to engage the verticalslide flip the box over so the rectangular hole is on the top and then tilt it onto the side with the rectangular hole to engage the horizontalslide. Now your puzzle is ready to be solved. <h3>Print instructions</h3>Print one of each part. Some parts require precise tolerances. These files have been tested on a stock MK3S, in PLA, with 0.15mm layer height and 15% infill. Important: For the puzzle to work properly, the lockingpin needs to be a very tight fit into the center hole on the tail!
