Juno - T-Slot Burr (2018)

⟬ Juno Fortnight ⟭——[ puzzles designed by Junichi Yananose ]——23. T-Slot Burr (2018)

from Juno's description:

If you would like to have an interlocking burr puzzle that is something different from others that are widely available on the markets, this is it.

The six light-colored pieces are held by the internal core piece by fitting T-slots and T-rails. There are a total of eight pins (cap screws) mounted on the sides of the pieces and those pins travel in the grooves and T-slots inside the other pieces[, which] give an interlocking function and restrict the moving direction of the pieces. Pins and grooves give interacting movements between more than two pieces. It is also significant that the T-slots act as part of the grooves.

Juno designed seven step versions of T-Slot Burr in his mind while he was laying in bed, and then modified the original design using BurrTools adding extra grooves and pins to the puzzle pieces. Now it has turned out to be a level 18-8-1-1-3 complex burr. It may not be hard to disassemble the puzzle but re-assembling the puzzle would be quite challenging. He thought that it would be hard to visualize the internal structure of the puzzle and he decided to mill out grooves outside the pieces. It gave good features to the puzzle because the assembled shape of the puzzle without external grooves is a bit boring.

made from silver ash, rose alder, and jarrah.
