This is a great opportunity to explore the work of an emerging designer in the interlocking puzzle community: Alex Boudreau, also known as ABCD (Alex Boudreau Creative Designs).
Alex has been designing interlocking burr puzzles for a little over a year. While many of his designs are inspired by well-known creators, they are all his own original work. People who have tested his puzzles generally agree that they are well-designed and enjoyable to solve.
This lot includes a selection of 3D-printed puzzles (PLA). Some are prototypes, meaning they may feel lighter or have minor visual imperfections, but all are fully playable. Unless noted otherwise, these puzzles were printed for me directly, with Alex’s permission.

Lot Details – “ABCD Select Designs” by Alex Boudreau
This lot features what I consider to be some of the best designs by Alex Boudreau (ABCD) — a carefully curated selection for collectors who appreciate clever interlocking mechanics and creative forms.
Included in this lot:
Pumpkin 1
Pumpkin 2
Close EncounTurrs – Level 29
ZooBurrs (Turtle & Water Burrfalo) – Animal-inspired burrs
Assembly Lock – Will be sent disassembled
Stepping Stones
Cobblestone
These are not entry-level puzzles — they’re designed for solvers who already enjoy the challenges of interlocking puzzles and want to experience something fresh and lesser-known. Each puzzle reflects Alex’s thoughtful design process, often drawing on thematic or sculptural elements.
All puzzles are fully playable, 3D printed, and made with care. A few may include visual quirks from prototyping but nothing that affects solve quality. Assembly Lock, in particular, will ship unsolved, for those who want the full challenge.

Note: Some of these puzzles might become available elsewhere in the future, but if you're looking to get your hands on uncommon or lesser-known burr designs, this might be your chance.
