Treasure Chest Puzzle Box (V3)
thingiverse
Treasure chest puzzle box inspired by the epic Legend of Zelda series. Can you find and unlock the three Triforce piece symbols to open the treasure chest? Bonus challenge: After opening the chest, discover the hidden fully-assembled Triforce (or secret compartment if using the included flip lid). ### Updates - The core can now be printed without supports! - Tighter tolerances reduce jamming. - Optional magnets provide a satisfying snap when moving parts. - Stronger tabs in the arch piece ensure a secure hold. - Alternative slat styles feature rivets for an easier grip on moving pieces. - Two "tool" files help with measuring metal rod length. - New alternate flip lid (Flip_Lid_Enclosed_Version.stl) prevents items from jamming the puzzle mechanism. Note: The alternate lid also includes a second hidden compartment instead of the Triforce symbol. - New loose core (Core_Loose_Version.stl) for printers that need extra room for sliding parts. The standard core file (Core.stl) is still recommended for most printers with a .25mm gap. - Slats are now available as individual files. - New "slat printing support" tool helps prevent wobbling when printing all slats at once. ### Materials Needed - 2.5mm metal rod, 45mm long - 2.5mm metal rod, 94.5mm long - 3mm cylinder magnets (3mm diameter, 3mm height), quantity: 12 ### Customization Options - Use alternate "Riveted" Slats for a better grip. - Mix and match riveted and non-riveted slats to hint at the solution. - Use alternate "easy" wheel to make the first step optional. - Use enclosed flip lid (Flip_Lid_Enclosed_Version.stl) to keep prizes safe. ### Printing Notes - Print the Weighted Axel with a high infill percentage for better weight distribution. - All parts can be printed without supports. - Tall pieces may require a brim for support, but most will only need minimal cleanup. *Solution and assembly instructions are included in the project files.* ### Links & Videos **Introduction** https://youtu.be/vzr_PO39C-c **Assembly Instructions** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYyXHqfosgE **Mr. Puzzle Review** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCW6bRlwvOk **Puzzle Time Review** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1i9F2iIBTU **Puzzle Master Store - Completed Prints Available** https://www.puzzlemaster.ca/browse/allpuzzleboxes/puzzleboxes2/14697-treasure-chest-puzzle-box
