Cool puzzle. Flawless print in place and fun to solve. Printed in dirt cheap esun grey PLA. Thank you for sharing!

Even if the filament was cheap, your print has a nice nearly-matte look to it :)

I made this and put a clue for a treasure hunt inside. Its challenging yet very fun! Keep up the great work!

That's fantastic! Thank you for making this model part of your treasure hunt :)

Update: got the screw out by screwing a real screw into it and pulling it out. Printed new one with carbon fiber pla. Printed it at 98% so it wouldn't stick this time. all is working now. Thanks for the nice puzzle.

Any way to fix a broken key? Went in about 75% ok and then seized. Tried to turn and it busted. The rest moves and rattles and the print is excellent - just want to know if I can save the bottom? (edited)

@introspect_2630503 I'm glad you were able to fix it by scaling it down! Unfortunately the key is a weak point in my design.

If you DO need to print it again, any of these alternate keys are a lot stronger: https://www.printables.com/model/376543-alternate-print-in-place-puzzle-keys

Cool! A lot harder to solve than the previous one.

Super cool. Keeps my friends busy for hours.

@setapart2_252450 I love the colors - maybe next year I should make a pumpkin-shaped case for it :)

Great print! One of the three prongs snapped upon reassembly but easy to glue

Easy to print but quite difficult to solve!

@Crocmagnon I'm glad to hear it wasn't the other way around :)

The print turned out great!

Nice puzzle, got some problems, I suspect the screw came loose during printing and the thread didn't come out nice. Because of that, sometimes the key is hard to turn.

@EricWei_352080 I'm honestly a bit shocked it works at all with that shift - amazing!

Made this to mess around with on a road trip to Texas. I was messing with it before I left and I opened it up, so i didn't have much to do for the 16 hour trip but speed run it. The top got a bit stuck together, but I think I just need to lower my bed a bit to get it to work better. Made it with zero point two layer height, no supports, with PLA filament.

@3Dprintfun Looks great :) I imagine you're now far faster solving it than I am!
