Tower of Hanoi 2.1 Puzzle&Game

If you are a puzzle lover or a math geek you must love this logical problem. Tower of Hanoi, is the pyramid puzzle and a mathematical game using three rods and various numbers of disks stacked in descending order which creates the pyramid shape that the Tower of Hanoi is known for.

The objective of the puzzle is to move all the disks from the left rod to the right rod. However, while this seems simple at first, there are a few rules that make this classic puzzle game such a favorite among puzzlers and math teachers alike:

• Only one disk may be moved at a time
• You can only lift the disk that is on top of a stack
• Each disk can be placed on any rod, but it cannot be placed on top of a smaller disk

My design uses 5 disks, which means you need at least 31 moves or 2^n – 1. It is complete detachable so your kids can throw it into back-pack and take it to their scout club or trip without worry of breaking it. It does not take unnecessary space. It has two different face patterns (circular and zig-zag).

It is fun for small kids from age 4 to grandparents. It was used as an intelligence test for the apes in movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes from 2011.

Printing and assembly

• You can use one or several colors, it does not matter for the puzzle
• PLA should work best, but any material should be fine
• Standard 0.4 mm nozzle with 0.2 mm QUALITY layer height should work best
• It is recommended to print circular pattern on top and zig-zag pattern on bottom (no need to flip objects - all is ready for printing)
• Print with Top fill pattern: Concentric to achieve the best and shinny effect of the top circular pattern of the disks
• The rod needs to be printed 3 times and rods need to be screwed to the base. Thread has enough tolerance so assembly should be easy.
• All parts can be printed at once (included bed size of Prusa Mini)
