## Triagonal Agony Puzzle ### Packing Challenge by László Molnár Pack six pieces into a box with two curiously shaped triangular openings. _Triagonal Agony_ is one of a series of challenging packing puzzles designed by László Molnár. This puzzle requires skill and patience, but don't worry if you need help - our recommendations for gentler introductions to Molnár's puzzles are available in the [László Molnar Puzzles](https://www.thingiverse.com/asiegel/collections/laszlo-molnar-puzzles) collection. There are actually three _Triagonal Agony_ puzzles that use the same box, all included here. _Triagonal Agony 2_ is the traditional version, while László has made _Triagonal Agony 1_ and _Triagonal Agony 3_ available as well. You can print one copy of the box to use with all three sets of pieces (if you do this, we recommend printing each set in a different color to avoid confusion). Triagonal Agony 1 is slightly easier since two of its pieces are non-unique. Yu Chih Chang contributed models and photographs for this listing. ### Printing Instructions Print one copy each of `molnar.triagonal-agony.box.stl`, `molnar.triagonal-agony.cap.stl`, and `molnar.triagonal-agony.pieces-version-2.stl` (or your chosen variant). It's best to print the box in one color and the pieces in another. The cap will look great if printed in the same color as the box. Before solving the puzzle, you need to assemble the box by snapping the four circular pins on the side of the cap into the indentations on the box frame. The cap should fit securely; no glue is required for this assembly. ### The Printable Puzzle Project The [Printable Puzzle Project](https://www.puzzlehub.org/ppp) aims to make available high-quality, open-source models of many puzzle designs. All our models are posted with permission from their designers and are licensed for non-commercial use only. You can print copies for personal use, but selling or monetizing them is not allowed. Our puzzles were modeled using the [puzzlecad](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3198014) library. The `.scad` file is included with this model if you want to modify any design parameters; more information can be found in the PPP Puzzle Modeling tutorial. ### About the Designer László Molnár designs puzzles that seem simple but are actually very challenging.
