QuasiModo puzzle with RFID

QuasiModo is a burr puzzle designed by Stephane Chomine. It is easy to assemble and to reset, and features an RFID tag that can provide information for assembly and its solution.  The video that follows describes all aspects of the puzzle.

The puzzle is 3D printed using the following materials and settings:

PLA, 0.2mm layer height, no supports, 3 walls with 4 top/bottom layers. All STL files are oriented as they should be printed.

QuasiModo features a 2-part frame that holds 4 “burr sticks”. The frame can be assembled with M3x8 screws, or simply glued together. Screws allow the puzzle to be easily reset into its initial configuration.

Because all printers and extruders are tuned slightly different, you may find your puzzle sticks a bit with a certain movement. You can fix this by filing/sanding the offending surface or edge. I keep a few different nail files for cleaning up my puzzle prints. If the sticking is minimal, don't do anything as you'll find your puzzle will smoothen its surfaces during repeated use causing parts to loosen up on their own.

Your task is to remove the 4 burr sticks from the frame; and then to reassemble the sticks into the frame, without taking the frame apart. You will likely need to disassemble the puzzle several times before you learn to re-assemble it from scratch.

You can add an NTAG 215 RFID tag to your model if you wish to have a handy reference which provides access to the video below by simply moving your phone near the puzzle. All information about the proper RFID tag and how to program it is included in the video. Program the RFID tag with the URL for the following video, using the instructions in the video, and anyone who uses the puzzle will have a  built-in user manual for reference. 

Please respect Stephane Chomine's design copyright and only use the puzzle for personal enjoyment. Do not distribute nor sell copies.

The following video explains the Quasimodo puzzle, how to assemble it, programming of the RFID tag (which is optional) and, if you really get stuck, how to solve.
