Gluing Jigs for Stewart Coffin Puzzles

thingiverse

These are specialized gluing jigs designed specifically for constructing two interlocking puzzles, Jupiter (STC #7) and Scorpius (STC #5), created by Stewart Coffin, as well as other puzzles within the Scorpius family. The Jupiter jig takes on a distinctive rhombic triacontahedron vertex shape, essentially a squished pentagonal pyramid with faces that have an unusually wide angle of approximately 63.43 degrees. Conversely, the Scorpius jig is shaped like a rhombic dodecahedron vertex. To prevent glue from coming into contact with the jig surface, each top is clipped slightly. The concept for these gluing jigs was initially suggested by Mark McCallum and Mathew Nedeljko.
