About this 3D model

V1.3 (Dec 21, 2023) Included QR code plaques for accessing the videos for the solution to the puzzle as well as how to reset it. They are included in the new V1.3 file on the last plate. If you want these QR plaques, please download the latest file V1.2 Update (Dec 17, 2023) Removed QR rick-roll code from the standard 3MF file. The youtube account was apparently closed so I am just going to pull it from the design. I apologize for anyone who has printed the bottom piece to date, you will need to re-print plate #3 of the design Added Videos for solution and how to reset V1.1 Update Included a tweezer into the build so that you do not have to purchase your own to include Change 1 dimension by 0.5mm on the deadbolt, not a big deal, just a very very small amount of additional clearance in one direction when printing with a silk filament which is a nice to have Decided to change the jewelry chain routing to only include 1 rear pillar. After many play testings, only including 1 pillar as the restriction felt like the right move. It draws peoples focus to that pillar and it is easier to get an accurate length on the chain. See last image below Decided to copy/paste the instructions here so people know what they are getting into This is a long term passion project of mine, creating puzzle boxes for D&D Adventures. This one is castle themed, and is a mechanically heavy solution. It includes hidden mazes, springs, magnets, and discovery by tear down. It also includes a few red herrings to throw people off.
