Summary

A simple 6 piece puzzle making a faceted 3D star shape. Easy to print without support. A difficulty of only about 2 out of 10 to solve, however surprisingly beautiful when assembled. Demonstrates the precision of 3D printing by making a tight and void free solid rivaling anything that could ever be hand made from wood. Small enough to print with filament scraps and free samples in a mix of colors.

Scalable – easier to handle and solve when made larger, more fun when made smaller (IMHO). Complete puzzle prints in under 40 minutes [on my printer] at the supplied scale and costs about $0.5 in material.
