Hexomino Puzzles

thingiverse

Hexominos originally consist of 6 squares each. In these puzzles, however, they consist of 6 cubes each. This allows you to build both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional figures. There are 3 different boxes available: Box 1 contains all 35 hexominos and hexomino no. 28 must be printed twice. The 36 tiles are placed in the box in three layers as shown in the picture. This box is intended as a storage box. As a puzzle, it seems too difficult. Box 2 is square and contains 6 hexominos. The pictured solution for this puzzle contains the hexominos with the numbers: 07; 08; 11; 15; 28; 32 Box 3 contains 10 hexominos. The pictured solution for this puzzle contains the hexominos with the numbers: 05; 07; 08; 11; 16; 18; 24; 25; 33; 35 Besides the shapes shown above, there are many more shapes you can build with the hexominos. 3D Printing Tips The size of the sliding top is crucial. If it's too narrow, the bumps on the top won't snap into place. If it's too wide, the top can usually still be inserted, but it becomes difficult to open. If the top doesn't fit, it is advisable to adjust its dimensions in the slicer and reprint it. Recommended adjustments are only small increments ranging between approximately 0.2mm and 0.3mm in width (only in width).
