Ellipsoid Puzzle

thingiverse

This puzzle's difficulty compared to its spherical predecessor remains debatable; kindly share your thoughts. The internal components have been modified, preventing significant dents on the exterior. One advantage of an ellipsoidal shape is that it prevents rolling away. The OpenSCAD file allows for easy customization of this design. To increase difficulty, decrease tolerance for a tighter fit. An exploded view of parts can be viewed as an animation. Print three sets each of right and left pieces; skeinforge's multiply feature assists in this. These print best with zero infill; use two extra shells, and six pieces can be printed in under 1.5 hours on a TOM.
