Puzzle Lock // Sliding Puzzle

thingiverse

I designed this Puzzle Lock as an entry in the MakeAnything Design Challenge over on MyMiniFactory. It functions like a normal lock, capable of being opened with a combination or by force - it's just plastic after all. You can create your own unique combination or stick with the one I came up with. The puzzle Lock serves both practical and entertaining purposes. I hope you enjoy making this, and please share if you decide to bring it to life. How to Assemble This Puzzle Lock: Print the following pieces: * Lock * Cover * Base * 4 * 1x1 blocks * 2 * 2x1 blocks * Key (A screwdriver works just as well, too) Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions: 1. Place the 1x1 blocks, 2x1 blocks, and Lock on the Base exactly as shown in the picture. 2. Securely attach the Cover using glue or another suitable adhesive. 3. Get solving! You can use the Key to make moving pieces around easier. Important Note: As you work to solve it, remember that any part can be freely rotated and that the grid on top is only there to keep the pieces in their correct positions.
