Description

Where, oh where do I begin with this utterly wild and marvelous puzzle?

Do I start with how it's the third in the series and how tacroy went extremely far with the presentation and lore of this puzzle's backstory, steadily building it up puzzle by puzzle for a wonderful climax once the third puzzle has been solved which feeds back into the clues and snippets hidden in the prior 2 puzzles of this trilogy?

Should I cover how the puzzling was incredibly fun and brought me on a wild ride with very creative mechanisms that I never even considered being implemented in 3d printing before? How I felt like an Indiana Jones working as an archeologist uncovering long lost secrets that came with a risk of death to the people involved with these artifacts? Tacroy's touch of "aging" the prints to look older and more authentically ancient was a lovely design choice!

All in all, I had an absolute blast with these puzzles, and while I think it's ideal to get all 3 puzzles in the series and to tackle them in order, tacroy kindly designed the puzzles to be solved in isolation without requiring the prior puzzles in the series for this one.

This puzzle places very high on my list of favorite 3d printed puzzles!

I accept and prefer using Zelle as my payment method of choice.

I accept Paypal. I prefer Friends & Family due to the IRS tax rules. But if you rather pay with Goods & Services, I will accommodate that preference.

I accept Wise for international buyers.

I am willing to consider other desired payment methods.

Shipping is USPS or UPS

Buyer chooses the shipping service and shipping speed, First Class or Priority (assuming the package is under the weight limit for First Class).

Insurance is optional, but buyer has to cover it if it is desired.

I ask the winner to hold off on paying until after I calculate and message final shipping costs to be added to the final bid.

Finally, we're in the crush of the Christmas holiday season which may mean delays or difficulty delivering packages. So if the winner of this auction wishes for me to hold off on shipping them out, let me know and I'd be willing to wait until a better time to ship out.

Slidebox 353 by Stephan Baumegger

Slidebox 353 is a BEAST of a puzzle where you have an incredibly high move count before you can take out the sides of this "box". In fact, the move count is included in the name of this puzzle. It takes 353 moves before this box opens up!The acrylic sliders are a nice touch to support and enhance the wooden panels. I liked the contrast between the 2 materials and they helped me by not obscuring as much of the wood. But I have to be honest here. It's such a long solve that I got tired and just re...

Archipuzzle by Lucie Pauwels

Archipuzzle is actually a sequel of sorts to Stuffing Burr despite both puzzles being designed by different people.Just like Stuffing Burr, Archipuzzle is an unusual burr puzzle where the goal is to assemble it instead of taking the burr apart. Furthermore, it has a catch in that it has no obvious goal shape unlike most other burrs. Instead, solvers need to figure out how to assemble the pieces in a way that every notch is filled in with another piece.Lucie was inspired by Volker's Stuffing Burr...

Sand Castle Puzzle Box by Josiah

Sand Castle is the first in a trilogy of lego puzzles from Josiah, and it starts things off with a bang!The goal is to find and raise the hidden flag from within the castle, but that's not the end point of this puzzle. You have to figure out the reset as well which is not a simple reversal of prior steps! It's not considered too hard, but I still had a lovely time with the involved 5 steps of the puzzle and it makes for an excellent introductory lego puzzle to hand to family and friends.The pdf ...

Prison Block Puzzle Box by Josiah

Prison Block is the second in a trilogy of lego puzzles from Josiah, and it makes for a very worthy sequel!The goal is to open the gate of the prison, trigger the alarm, and free the imprisoned jailbird from his cell! But that's not the end point of this puzzle. Just like with Sand Castle, you also have to figure out the reset as well which is not a simple reversal of prior steps! It's a major step up from Sand Castle with 18 steps and Josiah was rightfully proud of himself for implementing som...
