Inspired by my new investigations into helixes (and especially their ability to lock things together) I decided to make them the core part of an all new puzzle - the Triple Helix Puzzle!
In short: you start with 6 pieces (3 containers and 3 helixes), and your goal is to assemble them into the final shape. The helixes must fit within the containers from end to end, and lock the containers together.
Have fun with another helix/vortex toy that is a little more than just a helix
Overview
The parts are the following:
- Containers. There are 3 parts. They look almost the same, but they are different!
- Helixes. There are 3 parts. They look almost the same, but they are different!
Assembly
To assemble you …. will figure it out Have fun
Print instructions
- Brim: Maybe. (Can improve bed adhession which for some is a problem)
- Supports: Yes (I used 'Tree Auto', ‘Style: Tree organic’, ‘25 degrees threshold’. Some supports are generated within the containers - but it is possible to cut them afterwards, and easily removes from the bottom)
- Speed: Slow things down - especially on bed slingers, to avoid the models releasing from the bed
- Orientation: The models are oriented in the correct print position - all standing on the end.
Happy printing!
