--𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐑𝐔𝐋𝐄𝐒-- UPDATE All the problems have been solved!
• The first person to print and solve SKEWBITS problems 001-015 and email photo proof to competitions@makeanything.design will win a $300 voucher towards MatterHackers or 3DJake (your choice!)
• The first Thangs Make Anything member to print and solve SKEWBITS problems 001-025 and email photo proof to competitions@makeanything.design will win a $400 voucher towards MatterHackers or 3DJake (your choice!)
• This could be the same person for a total of $700!
• You must physically print the SKEWBITS grid, puzzle pieces, and problems to include in your solution photos
• Make sure you don't flip the puzzle pieces or problems! They must be solved in the correct orientations (**The problems print upside-down!)
It’s really impressive how quickly you were able to create a perfect and inventive 3D printed version of the cube structure in Steve’s video. And then to turn that into a unique puzzle design 🤯
THE PRIZES HAVE BEEN CLAIMED! Congrats to Benji S for being first to solve ALL the problems! Of course, I hope you'll still print yourself some SKEWBITS and enjoy the puzzle :) than.gs/m/949147 Thanks, Devin
OMG I''m just printing them! Congrats!
This is really cool! I love that you use your 3D printing powers for good. I still can’t get beyond making widgets that may, or may not, improve some household items.
This puzzle is intriguing 💖 Would be a great idea to 3D print a stylish box to neatly store all the puzzle pieces together. Any chance you've already designed the perfect box for it?
Yes! Ready soon :)
I really like your puzzles; they are always so original. I'll definitely print the new one and make a video about it!
Sounds awesome, thank you!
Not really original since this puzzle has been made years ago
Love, love LOVE the look and idea of this puzzle. I was instantly going to print the first shapes, but now there's a puzzle, that might have to be first. Thanks for your time and effort.
Nice job! Thanks for creating and sharing these fun puzzles!
This is such a cool idea for a puzzle! Tangram on steroids. Thank you for sharing this!
Man, you are a genius. Great inspiration for all designers out there 👏
I love the way your brain thinks. Our family really enjoyed skewbits. Thanks
Excellent case, excellent video, excellent puzzle, and excellent philosophy. Kudos!
Since the cubes are empty, instead of using color you could use an infill pattern instead. A triangle cube, cross cube, hex cube, and a square cube
Thank you. This is awesome.
Absolutely awesome puzzle! Super fun and challenging!
Yay, glad you're enjoying it!
When will you release the auxetic cubes? Love the puzzles! Making them for my dad for christmas now!
I keep coming up with more ideas around the auxetic cubes, but I'll try to release some files sooner than later! Awesome to hear this will be a gift :) I hope your dad enjoys it
Would be cool to see a crossover video w/ Oscar van Deventer and/or Steve Mould
Awesome idea Stoked for my prints to come out and try it! Do you have a link to the auxetic cubes that you displayed in the video or do we have to wait for the full video on those?
Thanks! I'll start uploading the auxetic cubes soon... I was just rushing to get all this puzzle stuff done for the weekend :P
I can’t wait to print these!
Thanks, I hope you enjoy it!
neat puzzle, maybe make the outlines so that it'd work even if flipped, someone could work out the maths of it I'm sure
Some have several solutions, so I wouldn't be surprised if a few already work flipped!
Love the puzzles. Wish i had my own 3d printer to give them a go, I can use my colleges prinht lab but the wait times are long if it isn't class related. wont stop me from finding solutions in my head tho.
With 3 printers going I could get the first 5 boards and all the bits printed in a morning - amazing idea and although I won't be entering (just want to play for fun!), good luck everyone!
Cool idea and great stuff!
Super cool, great job 👍🔥
dude, this is rad!
very satisfying puzzle.. great job!
Thank you!
You could also make a top bottom hinche to make te cube to cross diagonally
Es excelente la propuesta... estoy en marcha para lograrlo!! Saludos desde Argentina
Gosh... Devin really sees puzzles *everywhere.* 😅 Neat! Loved the idea.
Make anything a coaster 2:42
3:18 is that Hans Niemann reference?🤣
I’m so excited to try this puzzle
Could maybe do solid top on the pieces so that they physically cannot fit in.
This is a great puzzle. I'm printing a few to have available when family comes over for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I do have one question about what you consider a solution. Do you expect the little "bumps" on the outside of the puzzle to contain a hinge for a valid solution? I know this might seem petty but I was just curious.
There are solutions that leave empty bumps. That's fine, it's just about fitting everything inside the outlines!
did you release the files for the auxetic cubes? if not please do they look so fun!
Just finishing them up, they'll be available soon :)
Wow, very cool puzzle!
Thanks! 😊
I just realized these objects are like the stretchy scissor balls you see in toy stores
I love the idea, and I'm also looking forward to the auxetic structure video and prints. What really blows my mind is the low view count the video is getting. Right now I only see 5-6k views almost a day after initial post. Your designs and ideas are generally the most creative and unique in the 3D printing KZhead space. Maybe it's just my screen is not showing things updating. But my personal feeling with the quality of this video is it should be doing way better than what I'm seeing.
Impressive
Printer running - it's going to be a long night…
@make.anything Can you make a 3d maze puzzle that snakes it's way through a sphere and uses a 3d printed snake with a nub on the far end to guide through the maze? Thanks!
good think my printer is down tell next week lol
Hey Devon, long time fan. I was wondering if you could add a picture of cheese on your peg board wall for your next video? It would really hook the audience into staying
_"Cool"_ - Indeed. Countdown to Chinese knock-offs. 3… 2…

Looking forward to playing this puzzle... but: currently I face the issue that the A-D pieces to not print out properly although I have applied the recommended settings. The hinges are molten together and don't move. I'm currently printing with 0.6mm nozzle. Before switching nozzle, I'd like to understand if this could be the root cause of failure Question: Did you use a 0.4mm nozzle? thanks for the great work!
The hinges fusing is most likely over extrusion of your printer, and that can be more difficult to get right with the 0.6mm nozzle (Yes, I used 0.4mm). To correct it, you can try decreasing your extrusion multiplier or flow%. Another way to compensate is using a negative value for "XY Size Compensation"(PrusaSlicer) or "Horizontal Expansion"(Cura). Another possibility is that the overhang on the bottom of the hinge is curling/printing messy, which can cause it to warp and fuse there. Lower nozzle temp, higher cooling, and lower layer height can help with that.
@@make.anything thank you for the quick reply. I will try out your tips.
That is IMPOSSIBLEEEE
I bet someone won already...
Why is the $ sign on the bag, backwards?
HI There!!!
There are no markings of what's up and down on the skewbits - this makes things more interesting
Technically there is. There’s a number on the side of each one.
@@bjsummerfield on the puzzles, yes, but not on the skewbits
@@roysigurdkarlsbakk3842 Yeah you are correct. I think they are printed in the orientation they rightside up which is the opposite of the puzzles. I used a black Sharpie on the bottom.
You can tell by the hinges -- take a look at 5:43. Makes me think that the hinges are showing some ankle 🦵🏻when it's viewed right side up 😆
Hi
If you are giving up money on solving puzzles. I am in. We do that all the time.
I can't, for the life of me, get that Yellow piece printed. All the others printed fine but the middle hinge on this Yellow piece is always fused. I tried lowering flow rate, reducing the extrusion perimeter width, etc... it's just that single middle hinge on this single piece. Help please T_T
The hinges are identical so that's pretty strange! Maybe rotate the part a bit, in case the specific angle is causing problems. Otherwise maybe it's that specific filament?
@@make.anything OMG, it did not cross my mind to do that for some reason. I flipped the piece 90° and moved it slightly on the bed and it printed fine ! Thanks a lot !
just submitted 1-15
Nice game, but a bit annoying you divided the first fifteen puzzles into a bunch of downloads.
Yeah sorry, Thangs incentivizes individual downloads with their weekly contests.. I'll probably end up grouping them later. I also thought it adds another layer to the competition 😛
Just as i thought. It was solved within the first day. Duh.
2d rubiks cube 👍🏽
Reminds me of Tetris haha

Can this be scaled down by half and still work?
I've printed successfully at 80% but I still recommend full scale since the hinges are already fairly small. I think at 50% they would be too weak
@@make.anything thanks for the reply. I suspected that would be the case.
I AM gonna make it into a videogame, and i don't care what you think, IS A GENIUS IDEA! ((i will credits you as the original creator of the game))
😂
I was guessing this was a good idea haha it would be awesome
How about you get this dudes permission before you rip his idea and make a game out of it. Assuming you’re being serious
you should probably reach out to him and ask for permission first
You should probably ask permission before you make a video game about it! You don’t want to get caught with a COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
Devin you better copyright this, i worried someone you try to do something with this and rip you off
Would be cool but I just packed all my stuff since I'm going to be homeless by Monday, which is fun, but yeah
