Description

BookSafe 2 — The Hidden Sequel

The legend continues…

From the maker of the original BookSafe comes BookSafe 2—smaller in size, yet thicker in form, granting greater hidden capacity for your most valuable treasures.

Once again disguised as an ancient tome, it blends seamlessly into any bookshelf… unseen, untouched, and unsuspected. But beware—this is no ordinary relic.

Where its predecessor held 3 secret steps, BookSafe 2 challenges you with 7 hidden moves. Enhanced with subtle magnets—this sequel introduces mechanical interactions that bring the puzzle to life. Panels shift… parts respond… secrets reveal themselves in ways you won’t expect.

This edition is deliberately kept minimal in decoration, allowing it to remain discreet—and to become truly yours. Through your slicer, you can add your own design or name to the spine or cover. Personalize it, mark it, or enchant it as you see fit.

A box that moves.
A puzzle that lives.
A secret waiting to be unlocked.

Will you make it yours… and uncover all seven steps?

Attention:
This model contains moving parts and relies on tight tolerances. It is strongly recommended to print using a relatively new or well-maintained nozzle. Worn or heavily used nozzles may result in inaccurate prints, which can cause parts to fuse together or fail to meet the required tolerances. This may prevent components from moving correctly or cause them to become stuck.

@user_2551335890

can you try to make more models without magnets? this looks amazing but i don't have the right magnets.

The designer has replied

@2222pzzls

hi! some of my puzzle mechanisms rely on magnets, but I also try to use machanisms without magnets. In this specific model, the magnets provide a mechanical aspect, and don’t add a locking machanism. So technically this model will work without magnets. But the panel grooves are pretty loose for the magnets to do their job. I can make a version of this specific model for you that’s also perfect without magnets? Is that something that would help you? please let me know 🙏

Replying to @2222pzzls :

thanks so much! that would be great. another question, i just printed dice in pla basic, and in getting the supports off everything is too rough and the pieces wont slide in and are getting stuck, what should i do?

@user_2551335890

Replying to @user_2551335890 :

never mind, i got it to work by cleanly removing support remnants. thanks

Well I had to be smarter than the puzzle to finish the assembly, and I may have broken a piece along the way and had to reprint it - but it was not the fault of the file or model - it was absolutely user impatience and error. I've still got one other of your puzzles that I've put in time out before I complete assembly because I ended up glueing magnets in incorrectly, meaning I have to reprint a piece or two there also.... but I'm absolutely hooked on your wonderful designs and puzzles.

@user_1029465236

if I were trying to break in I’d just smash it😅

The designer has replied

@2222pzzls

True, but it’s still a fun puzzlebox 😉🙏

@hjwendel

when you put it into a book shelf, it doesn’t stand out

Outrageously clever puzzle engineering! BookSafe 2 with its 7-step sequential puzzle mechanism is a masterpiece of mechanical design thinking. Each step reveals the next lock in a satisfying cascade of aha moments. The book disguise is convincingly realistic. A brilliant combination of security theater and engaging puzzle craftsmanship!

@2222pzzls

Thank you! That means a lot 🙏 If you like this, please consider trying some more of my puzzles. Especially Templar Lockbox I predict you like seen your comment 👍 Thanks again!

@user_1905392616

Does it need to be printed with supports?

The designer has replied

@2222pzzls

hi! I set the needed supports in the 3MF file. I Believe some parts of the print may fail without support

@user_188915833

Since the top and bottom of the spine are non-moving pieces, would a version where the spine, top, and bottom are a single multicolor print work? That would eliminate the need for any glueing in the 100% printed version. And those with dual nozzles can accomplish this with very little waste.

The designer has replied

@2222pzzls

that’s not possible because of the print orientation. The spine is printed on the flat back, so the rails can face up. The top and bottom pieces are curved and stick out, so this can not be printed together with the spine unfortunately.

@Duo_3D_Print

nice

@fazbearbro

yes bro

@bMissle
