Designed by Rene Dewir in 2016, the Vivaldi Burr puzzle is a nice medium level challenge. The puzzle difficulty is about 6 of 10 if you are taking it apart; and about 7 of 10 if putting together from parts. It includes a stand that can contain a name; and an RFID tag which I used to point the user to a video (posted below) that gives additional info about the puzzle and its solutions.
To print the puzzle you must choose:
One of 4 bodies (brown). Each body is textured using CNC kitchen's BumpMesh web site. Choose either a guitar style, with 6 tuning pegs, or a violin/cello style with 4. You can then decide whether you wish to add M2 screws for body decoration If you've used the M2 screw version, you must use the oval part that has a cutout which enables the oval to slide over the screws.
You can optionally use a brace for the stand which can contain an NTAG 215 RFID disk which is 25mm round and 1mm thick.
If you choose to use M2 screws as ornaments, I used M2x4 socket head versions. M2x6 will also work.
Print Settings:
Body & pieces: Printed with 20% infill, 0.2 layer height, 4 top/bottom walls. One wall bottom layer.
For the Body I used a variable layer height for the top 3-5 layers. That layer height was about 0.1mm. This gives a bit more definition to the wood grain texture.
For the Bow, I did a color change near layer #7. This highlights the 2 parts of the bow and gives a quick orientation of which side faces in/out. In the picture, I used gray for the base and white for the top. I also added an M2 screw to help identify the top of the bow.
The stand pieces can be printed solid, or with the infill pattern showing, as you can see in the pictures. To print as shown, choose 20% infill, 3 perimeters, and zero top/bottom walls.
On the bottom brace, you can use the slicer to add text, if you wish to include someone's name. I raised the text 1mm and used a color change by layer height to make the text a different color from the brace.
I programmed an NTAG 215 (cheap on AliExpress or Amazon) using an iPhone. I simply added the URL of the video below so that the owner of the puzzle can bring their phone near the disk in the stand and immediately access the solution video. Instructions for programming the disk are shown in a video I created previously for another puzzle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5TOfQi_PW8
