Deathstar Puzzle Keychain
Here's a new puzzle game i made using Tinkercad.. Its a simple puzzle sphere that turns into a keychain..
There are 12 parts and when combine turns into sphere that looks like a deathstar..
Difficulty level:
- 3D printing - Easy
- Assembly - Challenging
- Wiring - Nop
- Painting - Nop
So lets begin..
Supplies
All you need is a 3D printer to print all the puzzle parts.. you'll also need a keychain ring if you want to turn it into a keychain.. preferably with a hook since you need to unhook the deathstar to play the puzzle..
You can find the keyring here in my affiliate link: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_ookEB6j

3D Printing All the Parts
The puzzle is simple to make once you done it a few times and the pattern of the deathstar does help..
I only made the deathstar puzzle in 2 colors.. PLA matte charcoal and PLA basic silver..
I dont recommend using the basic silver since the parts are printed in different orientation so the shiny-ness of the pattern doesnt align when assembled..
Puzzle Game
Here's the assembly video for the puzzle sphere..
The whole puzzle is locked by one part of the puzzle.. and i added a ring holder on the piece.. so in order to disassemble the puzzle.. you'll need to remove the keychain ring first.. without removing it.. the puzzle is locked in place and cannot be dismantled..
I used a keyring that can be easily unhook so you can start playing with the puzzle.. or you can use a normal short handphone landyard that uses strings to attach the sphere keychain..
Conclusion
The deathstar puzzle keychain is a good gift for star wars fan.. its easy to make and quite challenging puzzle for first timer..
It does become a mess when someone cannot solve the puzzle..
I hope you'll have fun playing the puzzle keychain and have a great weekend 3d printing..
