The file 'Three Cubes Puzzle (with Magnets) 3D Printer Model' is (stl,f3d) file type, size is 121.2KB.
Replication of the Three Cubes puzzle - a clever design by Kohno Ichiro.
The original can be found here: https://cubicdissection.com/collections/all-puzzles/products/three-cubes-canarywood
The three identical pieces must be assembled to form three solid cubes.
Replicated it from this video https://youtu.be/4zQmkyH0Mr0 and printed to share with friends.
In order to enjoy the puzzle you will need:
The puzzle can be solved without the magnets, but they certainly add to the fun.
2 CAD files are available:
Piece_Without_Magnets.stl - contains one piece to be printed without embedding magnets.
Magnets should be embedded as described in the pictures, pay attention to the polarity orientation (N and S in the picture are used to illustrate opposing poles of the magnets. Two magnets attract each other in opposing poles, and repel in identical poles).
I embedded 2 magnets inside each rectangle, because I found that one magnet does not provide enough force for satisfying handling of the puzzle.
All credit for the idea and the design goes to Kohno Ichiro.
