Puzzle Cube

This week our class has been working on constructing a puzzle cube. Think Tetris but in three dimensions. The goal was to make a 3x3x3 cube consisting of 5-ish interlocking pieces made of 4-5 cubes each, all going in the X, Y and Z direction. The professor offered the suggestion of doing a 4x4x4 cube for an extra challenge, and since I love doing more work than any sane person can handle I decided to go with the maximum effort. Why be sane when you can be the burnt out college student chuckling to herself in the Target check out line?

This design was created as part of the University of New Hampshire’s ET 401 “Introduction to 3D Printing” course. You can find design plans to this project and many others
