CubitPrism Puzzle

The  Puzzle

TetraCubitPrism Puzzle 9 selected pieces + 3 different assembly challenges

The puzzle uses nine different tetracubitprisms (polyforms built from four extruded 120°/60° rhombi). The task is to pack these nine pieces completely into each of the three supplied boxes without gaps or overlaps.

3D Printing Tips

I printed the puzzle with the following settings:

• Material: PLA

• Resolution: 0.2mm

• Infill: 20%

• no supports

• no raft, no brim

The solutions were created with the help of the Burr-Tools program.

A short demonstration of the three solutions (30 seconds)

Further information about the TetraCubitPrism Polyforms

By dividing an equilateral hexagon, you can create 3 diamonds with 120° and 60° internal angles. If you extrude these diamonds, you get cubit prisms.

Shapes consisting of 4 extruded diamonds are called tetracubit prisms. There are 24 different tetracubit prisms.

A zip file is attached, which includes the following:

• STL files for all 24 TetraCubitPrisms and a box

• Photos and graphics
