This is my take to make a 3d printed version of the karakuri creation SKYSCRAPERS puzzle.
https://hakone-karakuri.jp/product/skyscrapers/
I do not own the original puzzle and challenged myself to make a printable version of it even without knowing the mechanism.
Extra part are needed:
SOLUTION:
PRINTING:
Printing orintation on attached image.
You need to print one for each file and 4 of the normal skyscraper without the H on top.
ASSEMBLY:
1.
Shadow must be glued.
2.
Glue magnet into skyscrapers hole.
3.
Cut the steel or any ferromagnetic plate to dimension and glue it in place.
4.
Attacch frontal with screws if need use just a bit of glue.
5.
Put one by one from the frontal opening the skyscrapers and slide them up in place.
6.
When all skyscreper are in check the order with the H at second place from left.
Then insert the locking block if too loose just put an tip of glue :)
7.
Set the skyscrapers in the correct position
This way you will be able to Insert the "keylock" from the front, when in position slide it to the left.
8.
Put inside the spring in the notch.
Maybe use some small pliers it could be a little tricky.
9.
Insert the keylock “locking piece” with a tip of glue.
This is not essential but give the key lock more rigidity when the solver pull too hard on the handle…
10.
When skyscrapers are still in solved position insert the drawer and it will click close into place.
END
Hope evryone likes it :)
