Description
A packing puzzle. Insert the 4 pieces into a 3x3x3 box with a special handle. The pieces must be within the basket.
Rotations are required. This is a difficult puzzle.

Inspired by Mushroom Basket by Andrey Ustjuzhanin: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4726487
Prints with no supports. The handle in the basket prints nicely with normal bridging settings.
I printed the puzzle in PLA at 0.2 mm layer height.
The "large" size is compatible with the wooden baskets from CubicDissection and my Etsy shop.
Openscad / Puzzlecad files included.

Update 2021/02/08: Puzzle design was updated to prevent alternate solutions and shortcuts.
Update 2021/03/10: Puzzle design changed to eliminate all non-flush solutions. Now there is only one solution, that has a flush top.
