Excalibur Puzzle King Arthur

thingiverse

This new challenge is an enhanced version of another puzzle that caught my attention. I drew inspiration from Gary Foshee's Excalibur puzzle and decided to create something even bigger and more robust. By scaling up, it becomes easier to print the design, which is a definite improvement. To make it truly mine, I added a personal twist. The objective of this challenge is to successfully extract the "sword" from its base (rock). It's a straightforward goal that requires some skill and patience. To bring this challenge to life, you'll need a few essential items: * A 3D printer, which might seem obvious * A small steel or plastic ball with a diameter of 10-12 mm * Two bolts measuring 6mm in diameter and 20-30mm in length Here's a breakdown of the required parts: * Base: Infilled with 15% density * Shell: Also infilled with 15% density * Cylinder: Another part with 15% infill density * Cylinder Pin: This component has a high infill density of 90% * Sword: You guessed it - this crucial piece is also infilled with 90% density * Sword_P2: The second version of the sword, which shares the same 90% infill density Keep in mind that you can attempt to print the puzzle in a smaller format if you're feeling ambitious. However, my own printer wasn't able to handle it due to structural issues. This project is still under development, so be prepared for potential changes to the design as I continue working on it. I hope you enjoy this challenge and find it rewarding!
