Six-piece soccer ball puzzle

thingiverse

Six identical puzzle pieces can be printed, forming a tight-fitting ball that won't easily come apart. If you face difficulty, YouTube tutorials are available for guidance. A wooden version was bought initially but it was loose and failed to stay together; this inspired redesigning the puzzle. The first attempt was too rigid, so adjustments were made to achieve a perfect fit. Despite having low printer resolution, these pieces work well. Print six copies of the piece with minimal infill and no support, suitable for most printers; it takes approximately 2 hours to print all pieces using a 0.5mm extruder.
