Description

By this point in time, Dr Volker has a very well-earned reputation for diabolical packing puzzles that are certain to cause puzzlers to tear out their hair in frustration!

But Filling V feels like a return to simpler times where the pieces are all nearly identical in shape, they are all in cubic form instead of oddly angled triangles or unusual curves. No tricky subtle dimensions to keep pieces from fitting inside due to being a hair too large!

However, Filling V shouldn't be considered easy at all. It's just easier than his other puzzles. I ended up solving it reasonably quickly. The hardest part was for me to find the correct assembly and deducing it due to logical constraints on how the pieces can rotate inside the 3x3x3 box. Even when I found the final assembly, there was still a tricky move that needed to be made in the beginning with the first few pieces. I was impressed by how tricky this move was to figure out!

Anyways, I'm reselling this puzzle almost immediately after receiving it, because I solved the puzzle very quickly. I also have no interest in the looks or exotic woods used in Filling V to keep this as a display puzzle.

So I hope Filling V can find a more appreciative owner than I!

Smuggler's Hold by Jesse Born

When it comes to Jesse's puzzles, Smuggler's Hold is a nice compact one which makes carrying it around easy so I can show it off to friends and family without much worry about it being too big or delicate to share! It looks incredible as if it's an actual smuggling pirate's artifact and is deceptive in how much puzzling it can hide away in such a tiny space!I wouldn't consider it the best of Jesse's work, but that's because he's got so many utterly astonishingly incredible puzzles which overshad...

Turtle Trip by Gerard Hudson

I almost feel like I'm selling off my grandparent's ashes and belongings with this one. Turtle Trip was the very first major 3d-printed puzzle I bought that wasn't just a packer or tic puzzle while also being one of the first sequential discovery puzzles which introduced me to the ever-popular puzzling genre.It's sentimental on multiple levels how much I've enjoyed keeping this puzzle around for years on end. I even miss Gerard since he vanished from MPD 3 years ago. I sincerely hope he simply d...

LOL by Frederic Boucher

Frederic Boucher has a long history of coming up with wild puzzles, but he doesn't like to craft more than a handful of copies before moving on to the next design. Which is why I'm so appreciative of Pelikan for stepping in to make more copies of LOL for everyone to try!LOL is a packing puzzle where the solver needs to fit all of the pieces into a 4x5 space with only a 1x2 opening to fit the pieces inside. It's obvious that rotations will be required since there are pieces that wouldn't otherwis...

Tenchi by Frederic Boucher

Tenchi is a fun little assembly puzzle that Cubic Dissection made from Fredric's design. It's an "anti-slide" puzzle where all of the pieces have to put into the square and positioned around the single cube notch in a way that none of the pieces can slide right back out of the square on either end. It sounds impossible, but I promise that it's very doable even if you have never tried this style of puzzling before.If it ends up being too confusing or demanding to fully solve, I have a solution Bu...
