Riddles in the Dark (The Hobbit) [in puzzle box form!](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4272004)\r\n[post-processing and demo](https://youtu.be/g47d3kLQg34)\r\n\r\nDon't forget to set Z-Seam Alignment to Random. Artifacts will reveal the solution as it is printed in the solved position.\r\n\r\nI'm eager to see more riddles that can be put in this format. These boxes could make a fantastic nesting set...\r\n\r\n*It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,\r\nCannot be heard, cannot be smelt.\r\nIt lies behind stars and under hills,\r\nAnd empty holes it fills.\r\nIt comes out first and follows after,\r\nEnds life, kills laughter.*\r\n\r\n*This thing all things devours;\r\nBirds, beasts, trees, flowers;\r\nGnaws iron, bites steel;\r\nGrinds hard stones to meal;\r\nSlays king, ruins town,\r\nAnd beats mountain down.*\r\n\r\nA riddle from getriddles.com\r\n\r\n*Each day many people come and visit me from all over the world. They usually only stay for a few minutes. I am considered dirty by many, yet few would want to live without me. Whenever people see me, they reveal a part of themselves that they rarely show others.*\r\n\r\nHere's another one from Riddles From A Recluse by Wallace Pustinjak\r\n\r\n*Unlike other rulers, I am strengthened by neglect.\r\nOver my jurisdiction, great taxes are elected.\r\nWhen routine dues are paid, I am severely weakened.\r\nYet if delayed too long, it may cost you dearly.\r\nMy vault is of the flesh, and my tellers are silver and bone.\r\nThe upkeep of the kingdom is financed with a loan.*
