Description
This Viking puzzle box is a bit of a remix of the Chess box. The mechanism is the same, but it is a lot easier to assemble because it uses 3D printing for some of the parts. The maze is also a bit more easy making it more approachable.
Warning! You will need a laser cutter and a 3D printer in order to make this puzzle box!
The laser cut file for cutting the wood for this puzzle box has a square around it. This will allow you to easily scale the laser cut file for any wood thickness. I used 3 mm wood for making the puzzle box, and it resulted in a box which was 140 x 111 x 103 mm.
The square around the laser cut file is 450 by 275 mm for 3 mm wood. If you want to use another wood thickness, scale the laser cut file accordingly. Be aware that you will also need to scale the 3D printed parts.
Besides the laser cut wood and the 3D printed parts you will need:
- Glue
- Sanding paper
- 4 metal dowel rods with a diameter of 3 mm and a length of 8 mm.
The laser cut files have three layers:
A layer for the outer square to scale the file (450 x 275 mm)
A layer for cutting.
A layer for line engraving.
