Magnetic Escape Room Puzzle Box

The solution to the puzzle unfolds by carefully extracting the elemental tokens from their designated holder on top and positioning them along the sides of the box. As they come into contact with the four spring-loaded bolts, these tokens trigger a reaction that disengages the lock. A closer inspection reveals that the elemental symbols play no significant role in unlocking the puzzle's mystery. This particular model calls for 20 neodymium disk magnets (10x2mm) and eight M5x30 countersunk screws to bring it to life. During the printing process, users must pause briefly (I utilized an M600 command) to accommodate the placement of two magnets, which are embedded within the tokens themselves. It is crucial to pay close attention to the orientation of these magnets so that they attract the bolts rather than repel them. With the exception of the "sides" model, all other models were printed using PLA. However, the "sides" model required PETG for its added springiness, though PLA might also be a viable option.
