The Key - Puzzle Box is an original design by Leisure Luke. It's a 7 Piece + 2 BONUS Pieces set that is EASY TO PRINT! No Supports Needed. Print it in PLA! Parts without squiggly springs can be PETG or PLA.

My Colors:

Key - White
KeyPartH2 - White
TheLid - Marble
BottomCasePv3 - Marble
KeyPartT6_222 - Red
KeyPartH1 - Red
FreedomLockBONUS2 - Gold
DueceInlayBONUS1 - Black
KeyCapSpade - Black

0.1mm tolerance for all non-sliding parts.
0.2mm tolerance for sliding parts
0.4mm tolerance for loose key eject spring
You should be able to straight from the PRINT bed to ASSEMBLY!

No External parts needed - no metal springs, no bearings, no magnets, no electronics, NO GLUE, NO SANDING... you get the idea!

As tested - 100% PLA 3D Printed!

Print all 9 pieces and they'll fit together pretty easily. The T6 is the only difficult piece to get onto the pv3. The spade cap goes on the H1 after it's threaded through the H2.

Again, see the YouTube Videos to get excited, for assembly, and if needed, to show the solve as well!

Leave your comments, and tune in for the next version - WHICH WILL BE RELEASED JANUARY 14, 2021

UPDATE Feb 14, 2021:

  • KeySpadeCap_Optional_tighter - if your spade cap is too loose to pinch on, this may be better, as it's much tighter (0-0.05mm tolerance)

  • Changed The Lid to have 45 degree slope to make it easier to print!

My Philosophy
These are all modular pieces that will be a part of a larger project... that I rambled on about in Episode 1 :P Basically, each puzzle becomes a side of Puzzle box that I call - the 5 aces. After the 4th Puzzle Box I'll release the final pieces required to do the full "5 Aces" Assembly. I'll also be printing and sending that puzzle box to a few youtubers to solve, and possibly selling a fully-assembled version on Etsy (if people are interested). Thanks for all the likes and feedback! I need more feedback always!

I'd love a like, follow, subscribe, etc. I'm hoping I can keep making cutting edge puzzle boxes bigger better and FREE for a long time!!!!

Enjoy!
