Alternate keys for use in Print-in-Place Twisty Puzzles.
The Print-in-Place Twisty Puzzle is solvable without using extreme force. However, some pr...ints may result in tighter clearances and broken keys.
These alternate keys are tougher and should be used for tight prints or when puzzle solvers are itching to tear the puzzle open. https://youtu.be/qvjMhq8SCBg
3d model print parameters
No supports needed.
If the key is too tight, print it at a slightly smaller scale. The default scale provides 0.2mm of clearance between the ...key and the puzzle's key hole.
The keys must be printed without any warping or curling. If bed adhesion is a problem, “adhesion support” versions of each key design is available.
Silk filaments are not recommended for the puzzle or key. They can work, but are typically more brittle.
Assembly
The stronger 2-part key doesn't have to be glued together to work, but it is recommended to avoid losing pieces.
Switch out the old key with a new one.
