F. J. Curtis Puzzle

Floy J. Curtis applied for a patent for his mechanical puzzle in September 1904. Now, more than a century later anyone with a 3D printer can create one.

But can anyone solve it?

Printing

Choose which files to print:

  • Option 1 (recommended): download and print all pieces at once
    • ALL_PIECES_F.J._Curtis.stl
  • Option 2: download and print each piece individually
    • ( 1 ) F.J._Curtis_piece_A.stl
    • ( 2 ) F.J._Curtis_piece_B.stl
    • ( 4 ) F.J._Curtis_piece_C.stl
    • ( 4 ) F.J._Curtis_piece_D.stl

Just about any settings should work. The only rule is do not use a brim. I printed with PLA using 15% infill, 0.35mm layer height, and a 0.6mm nozzle.

Please post your makes! I want to see yours and get your feedback.

Solving

Are you solving it yourself, or giving it to a friend?

  • Solving it yourself: Download and print all the pieces. Try to assemble it using only the picture of the completed puzzle in this post.
  • Giving it to a friend: Download and print all the pieces. Follow the instructions in full_solution.pdf to assemble it. Tell your friend the goal is to first take the puzzle apart, and then put it back together.

About this model

I was reading old mechanical puzzle patents, as normal people often do, when F. J. Curtis's puzzle (United States patent US781050A) stood out to me as easy to 3D print. Figuring out the dimensions was a puzzle in itself, but now that I have them I'm sharing it with you!
