## L-I-Vator II Packing Puzzle by László Molnár ### Challenge Your Mind with a Complex Packing Puzzle Pack six pieces into an obstructed box and test your problem-solving skills. _L-I-Vator II_ is one of a series of challenging packing puzzles designed by László Molnár, known for creating fiendishly difficult puzzles that seem simple at first glance. If you're up for the challenge, this puzzle will be a fun and rewarding print. If you enjoy this puzzle, be sure to check out its companion design, [L-I-Vator I](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4183212). The two L-I-Vator puzzles use the same box, so you can print one copy of the box to use with both sets of pieces. Several other Molnár designs are published in our [László Molnár Puzzles](https://www.thingiverse.com/asiegel/collections/laszlo-molnar-puzzles) collection. Yu Chih Chang contributed models and photographs to this listing. ### Printing Instructions Print one copy each of `molnar.l-i-vator-ii.box.stl`, `molnar.l-i-vator-ii.cap.stl`, and `molnar.l-i-vator-ii.pieces.stl`. Ideally, print the box in one filament color and the pieces in a different color. The cap may be printed in the same color as the box or optionally in a third color. The cap and box are modeled separately to allow for easy printing without supports. After printing, attach the cap to the box before attempting to solve the puzzle. To attach the cap, put a drop of glue into each of the four guide holes on the cap, and fit the four raised cylinders on the box into them. ([Ordinary superglue](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LGPD64) works great with PLA filament.) Once the glue is dry, you're ready to go! ### The Printable Puzzle Project The [Printable Puzzle Project](https://www.puzzlehub.org/ppp) aims to make available high-quality open-source models of many puzzle designs. All of our models are posted with the generous permission of their designers and are licensed for __non-commercial use only__. Anyone may print copies for their own personal use, but selling or otherwise monetizing them is not permitted. Our puzzles are modeled using the open-source [puzzlecad](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3198014) library. The `.scad` file is included with this model in case you want to modify any of its design parameters; more information on how to do this can be found in the PPP [Puzzle Modeling tutorial](https://www.puzzlehub.org/tutorials/puzzle-modeling). ### About the Designer László Molnár is a renowned puzzle designer known for creating complex puzzles that seem simple at first glance.
