Description
Another great design by Stewart Coffin. Wood copies are beautiful but very expensive. Six pieces, all different, assemble in an unexpected way into a cube. This puzzle can be tricky to take apart if you don't know the secret. But putting it together is the real challenge.
The assembled puzzle is a 6 cm cube. The small cube in the photos was ordered from Shapeways many years ago and is only 3.2 cm.

Notes:
Print each file containing two pieces in a different color. No supports are needed. Pieces on opposite faces are the same color. If you are paying careful attention, this makes the puzzle slightly easier.
These pieces work well with a very low offset (10 microns), zero offset works too. They were created using a BurrTools export with the following parameters:
Unit size=15.0
Bevel=0.5
Offset=0.01
