Challenge your mind with this intriguing 3D printable puzzle box that seems impossible to assemble at first glance. This box features identical dovetail pieces on all four sides, creating a seemingly unsolvable puzzle. The secret to opening the box lies in shaking it, which shifts an internal magnet, allowing the lid to slide open smoothly.
To complete this puzzle box, you will need 3 6x3mm magnets, which I purchased on amazon at this link, here or on Bambu Labs website under their hardware section. Once assembled, this box makes for a perfect gift or a unique addition to your collection of puzzles and brainteasers. Get ready to impress your friends with this cleverly designed and deceptively simple-looking puzzle box!
ASSEMBELY INSTRUCTIONS: The gcode has pauses built in to allow you to place the magnets into your print and you must take note of the polarity of the magnets as they must all be facing the same direction. The small pin that locks the box will likely have to be sanded so it effortlessly slides within the bottom of the box. I used 120 grit sandpaper.
