Description

EDIT: If you like this also give the new TPU version a go for silent Shashibo fun :) 

🤩 I’m extremely proud of this puzzle—it’s the most challenging design I’ve created to date. I spent countless hours perfecting the geometry, figuring out how to orient it for a successful print-in-place model, and ensuring the joints articulate smoothly with minimal supports.

Introducing my unique print-in-place Shashibo-style puzzle 🧩, which boasts incredibly smooth, free-flowing motion. It starts as a mesmerizing “suspended pyramid,” and with a few careful folds, you can transform it into a perfect cube. Built to intrigue puzzle lovers and fidgeters alike, this shape-shifting creation is as fun to display as it is to play with.

 

If you’ve seen similar shape-shifting toys before, you might know they can form dozens of variations—some puzzle enthusiasts say over 70 unique shapes are possible with the real-life counterparts! Experiment with this 3D-printed version to see how many shapes you can discover. 

 

Combine & Expand 🤝 Print multiples - You can fit two or more together—either the same size or one large and one small—to unlock even more intriguing forms. Let your creativity run wild!

 

Challenge Yourself 🏆 Explore all the different forms you can fold this puzzle into, and see if you can return it to its neat cube form. Share your success in the comments once you solve it!

Printing Instructions 🔧

🔨 Use the built-in profile – it has carefully placed brims and supports; the print will fail without these.

📏 Available Sizes: Small and Large, in single and dual-color options.

🤏 Joints are designed to be printed all in one go—just wiggle them gently after printing to loosen.

Enjoy discovering the satisfying clicks and folds of this ingenious Shashibo-style puzzle—happy printing and puzzling! 🎉
