Drawer Box - Final batch

Image
I have just finished the last batch of Drawer Box - IPP+ Edition ! 6 copies have been produced. They are all already pre-reserved by the way. Sold out ! All good things come to an end. Drawer Box is now discontinued. I will be focusing on new puzzles. I still might produce one copie here and there but no more small series. I could start a modified version as well. Another idea would be to produce it in wood, please get in touch with me if you want  to produce that.

I have produced a couple more of Drawer Box, in dark blue and red this time. It looks good ! After this series, I will produce a modified version of the design. Same principle but with a couple of new surprises !

Drawer Box - New edition

Since IPP#39, the look and colors of Drawer Box have been revisited: more rounded, with a pattern on the top. Also I have added a final step with a coin (an old French centime coin) hidden in one of the drawers. It's a nice touch at the end of the puzzle. I love puzzles with a surprise at the end. See below a 3D view of the new look: It's now ready for 3D printing. I want to try a new filament, Silk PLA, more shiny than the standard one I use, with 2 colours, one for the box and one for the drawer covers and the pattern on top. It should look nice ! There is quite a lot of post-processing for gluing and verifying that everything moves smoothly, so I start with only a small series of 5. Probably ready for ordering mid-October !

Drawer Box is a puzzle box, with 3 drawers. The objective is to pull out all three drawers and find the coin which is hidden in the box. The puzzle is 3D printed in PLA, an eco-friendly plastic. The coin is a French 5 cents coin, from the eighties, before the euro replaced the franc. The puzzle is moderately difficult. You can expect a few Ah Ha moments during the disassembly. But expect as well some challenge in the reassembly. An early version has been presented to IPP in 2019. I take that opportunity to thank in particular Oskar van Deventer and Jean-Baptiste from Arteludes who have given me some very precious feedback. IPP 2019 entry Teaser video on YouTube (no spoiler)
