+ nice idea
+ sources
- no description or instructions (fixed)
- some latches on the "case" for easy gluing (fixed) (edited)

@Jack Thanks for update, works for me.
I didn't realise that the pictures are all combinations.

@Tritol So i have added a version with peg holes (not sure how well these can be printed with a .6 nozzle but .4 should be fine) and added some instructions (i was using tape around to keep it together and then added drops of glue). I fully understand how it is annoying to be left alone figuring out what to do even it is not much to do. Thank you for the advice!
Bigger puzzles can be generated by the script, but you ran into stability issues on a 3×3 matrix, you could make a one sided version or a thicker one, But the sliding is annoying due to the struts and the normal sliding mechanism wouldn't allow rotation. I made a version with dovetails on the back but never printed it. What additional info about the pattern can i provide? I had added the two images with all possible combinations. (edited)

@Jack Maybe "print 4 tiles and glue together A+B" should be fine so one doesn't wonder ;-). But some info about the patterns or bigger one might be interesting. OK, if not notches, maybe some jig to help with alignment? Unfortunately, the alignment during gluing was not completely successful for me. Instant glue really sticks mainly to the fingers, and then one is like Mr. Spock.

@Tritol that looks fantastic! And you are right that there are no instructions, i thought it would be trivial - what information do you miss/need? I didn't used notches for better alignment to prevent stringing and this will have a nicer end result but i agree it needs more attention to assemble. But i think holes in the 3 corners could be used for a filament peg. (edited)
