Description
PDFThe game can be printed on a single 25x21 cm Prusa print bed. I've only tried PLA so far. No supports are needed. I set the fan to 100% to help with the bridging needed in the lid. The first layer has lots of tiny sections, so clean your plate to help with adhesion. There are three versions of the frame: loosest, medium, and tightest. Start with medium and adjust from there. |  | ||
| Once printed, remove the parts from the bed. |  | ||
| Snap the back and front of the hammer together. |  |  | |
| Place the cubes in the base. Shake the base or move the cubes until the cubes are aligned in the bottom of the base. |  |  | |
| Put the frame on the base so the “Down” arrows are aligned with the bottom arrows. The frame will slide down. Use your thumbs to squeeze the frame onto the cubes. |  |  | |
| Pick the frame up with the cubes and remove from the base. Replace it with the base rotated with the “Up” arrows aligned with the bottom arrows. The frame will rest on top. |  | ||
| Find a friend and take turns tapping the cubes out with the hammer. The one that makes them all fall loses. You can only hit one cube each turn, but more than one cube may fall. |  |  | |
| To store the game, align the frame in the “Up” position. Place the lid so that the “Lock” arrows are aligned with the “Up” and bottom arrows. The lid snaps into place. |
 |  | |
| To release the lid, squeeze the tabs on the side of the lid and lift it off. The lid can be snapped onto the bottom of the game to keep it safe during play. |  |  | |
| The base's bars are fragile without the frame on. With the frame on the bars have lasted through weeks of my grandkids playing with it. Your mileage may vary. If needed, I can thicken them. |  |  | |
| Enjoy and let me know what you think! |  | ||
Changelog
2021-08-19: I printed the three frames and I think the tight is too tight, so I'm deleting it, bumping medium to tight and loose to medium and making a new looser frame.
