Tangram Block puzzle

thingiverse

This is another engaging challenge I've devised. The tangram block is a puzzle featuring 4 pieces that can rotate freely around a central axis. What makes it unique, is its ability to restrict certain moves due to the overhang of larger pieces. Consequently, it sometimes defies expectations by requiring more than 4 moves to solve. It's essentially a collector's item rather than an actual puzzle, as it's relatively simple to solve. Nonetheless, it's enjoyable to manipulate and experiment with its various configurations. The tangram block bears some resemblance to the Rubik's snake and is suitable for younger children as their first twisty puzzle. For everyone else, it's a quick and easy print that can be added to a collection. Please note that this design prints in place, making it straightforward to manufacture but also slightly loose compared to assembled puzzles. I'd love for you to try out my creation and showcase your results in the "Made" section. To see the tangram block in action, check out this video: https://youtu.be/0AMlB2NivPA
