<h2>If you enjoy what you see here, consider showing your appreciation with a tip.</h2> <h3>Caution:</h3> <h4><b>Using a mapper will undermine most of the challenge Revomaze puzzles have to offer. Only use a mapper after exhausting all other options and still struggling with Revomaze nightmares.</b></h4> The first version of the Revomaze mapper rotated the core maze horizontally and vertically, making it difficult to understand and solve certain dynamic puzzle elements. This version accurately matches the position and orientation of the core maze by moving the map from the sleeve to the core, and the pen from the core to the sleve. I used M4X20 and M4X40 socket head cap screws, 2 washers, and 2 nylon lock nuts for assembly. <h3>Assembly:</h3> <ol> <li>Print the test piece and verify that your pen fits snugly in the hole before printing the larger pieces. Make any necessary changes to the model and print all the pieces.</li> <li>Insert one bolt, washer, and lock nut in the map holder and leave the screw loose. Do the same for the pen holder holder.</li> <li>Cut a strip of paper 45 mm wide and place it on the map holder.<img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/36/cc/2e/ee/42/f24484952710ffef76e420cc02b428cc_preview_featured.jpg"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/89/6e/18/cf/2c/ff4c7e7d8c46c1e9baf630ee2dc26db2_preview_featured.jpg"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/16/66/40/df/2b/453b054daf61b5b9421744c4136d389f_preview_featured.jpg"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/34/21/0e/a1/ff/ad4542c033970331571c30d3945ad4a2_preview_featured.jpg"></li> <li>Tape the paper in place while holding the paper tightly to the map holder. Ensure your pen will write on the tape you choose. Use a sharp knife to remove the ends of the paper on the inside of the map holder.<img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/06/68/0b/91/71/0c38fc8ba0ecfb95182f1211a7d0d85f_preview_featured.jpg"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/8d/f3/37/c2/cb/8b890c8882daabab195d1c1ab0d50c04_preview_featured.jpg"></li> <li>Rotate the map holder until the space opposite the gap lines up with the dot on the puzzle. Hold the map holder and puzzle still while placing the pen holder on the opposite side of the puzzle. Rotate the pen holder util it lines up with the gap in the map holder. Tighten the bolt, again being careful not to over tighten and damage the printed part. This alignment will indicate when the puzzle is in the solved position when the pen arrives back at the gap in the paper. If the pen is above the puzzle, the dots will be at the bottom position, and the pin should fall from the sleeve to the core, and the core can be removed. A few light taps may be needed to coax the pin out of the sleeve.<img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/ed/52/cb/51/05/9552aa71018abc6047fcdbb3cafb811c_preview_featured.jpg"><img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/40/4c/06/f5/10/1bbf86d874ccd1d13747cfd0f39b4da9_preview_featured.jpg"></li> <li>Cut a rubber band and tie loops in the ends. Place the pen retaining piece on a ball point pen, and place the elastic loops on the hooks of the pen holder. Hook the elastic under the arm of the handle and insert the pen<img src="https://cdn.thingiverse.com/renders/51/cd/03/9c/47/f293315d4b2ce0de31b2611e679c0ddf_preview_featured.jpg"></li> <li>Solve the puzzle!</li> </ol>
