Treasure Chest Puzzle Box

Treasure chest puzzle box inspired by The Legend of Zelda series. Can you find the 3 Triforce piece symbols and open the chest? Bonus puzzle: After opening the chest, find the hidden fully-assembled Triforce (or extra compartment if using the enclosed flip lid). https://youtu.be/vzr_PO39C-c ###Updates - The core can now be printed with *no supports*! - Tighter tolerances to reduce jams. - Optional magnets provide a snappier feel to the mechanism. - Longer tabs in the the arch piece for a stronger hold. - Alternative slat styles that include rivets for an easier grip on moving pieces. - Two "tool" files have been added to help with measuring metal rod length - New alternate *flip lid* (Flip_Lid_Enclosed_Version.stl) which prevents items stored in the Treasure Chest from jamming the puzzle mechanism. NOTE: the alternate lid also includes a second hidden compartment *instead* of the Triforce symbol. - New alternate *loose core* (Core_Loose_Version.stl) for printers that need a little more wiggle room for sliding parts. The standard core file (Core.stl) is still recommended, for printers that can work with the default .25mm gap. - Slats are now available as individual files. - New "slat printing support" tool. When printing all the slats at once, you can slide one or more of these tools onto the print to provide support and prevent wobbling. ### Materials Needed - 2.5mm metal rod - 45mm long - 2.5mm metal rod - 94.5mm long - 3mm cylinder magnets (3mm diameter, 3mm height), quantity: 12 ### Customization Options - Use alternate "Riveted" Slats for an improved grip. - Mix and match riveted and non-riveted slats to hint at the puzzle solution. - Use alternate "easy" wheel to make the first step of the solution optional. - Use enclosed flip lid (Flip_Lid_Enclosed_Version.stl) to keep prizes away from the mechanism. ### Printing Notes - Print the Weighted Axel with a high infill % to improve its use as a weight. - All parts can be printed with no supports. - Tall pieces (Slats, Flip Lid, Flip Lid Cap) may require a brim for support. However, most of these pieces require only minimal cleanup, as the trimmed brim will be fully hidden. *Solution and assembly instructions are included in the project files.* ### Links & Videos **Introduction** https://youtu.be/vzr_PO39C-c **Assembly Instructions** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYyXHqfosgE **Design Process** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYWNRGT8NJg **Mr. Puzzle Review** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCW6bRlwvOk **Puzzle Time Review** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1i9F2iIBTU **Puzzle Master Store - Completed Prints Available** https://www.puzzlemaster.ca/browse/allpuzzleboxes/puzzleboxes2/14697-treasure-chest-puzzle-box
