![]() Try doing this on Edgewood Mansion: The Library, where you have over a hundred books available, and can use bigger items to keep your construction from toppling over.Īlternatively, some people reported that they managed to obtain the achievements by dropping items on one of the wooden beams from Labyrinth of Egypt: First Chamber.Įxample: (credit goes to Masu for the image) ![]() Let's get started with the classic 15 puzzle.Stack items into a tower. For the slider puzzle, magnets not only serve to hold the pieces securely onto the base without the need for a mechanical tongue and groove mechanism, they also help to snap the blocks into place when sliding them into the empty square. It had a very satisfying "feel" that I though would translate well to moving pieces around a slider puzzle. ![]() The switch used magnets to "snap" a sliding bar into one of five preset positions. I was inspired to make sliding puzzles with magnets by another of my projects the " Mostly 3D Printed Slider Switch". So why am I creating this Instructable? Well because all of the examples mentioned here use the classic tongue and groove mechanism to hold the pieces in place and I think that I have a better way, magnets. Angus from Makers Muse has a great video on making "print in place" sliding puzzles. A clever tongue and groove mechanism held the movable pieces firmly to the base, yet allowed them to slide freely into the empty space.Ī quick search shows that there are many Instructables already that show you how to make various kinds of sliding puzzles. In this way blocks can be moved around the board (one at a time) to "solve" the puzzle by arranging the pieces in a particular pattern. Adjoining blocks can be slid into the empty space leaving behind a new empty space. ![]() These puzzles all follow the same pattern, a shallow box base holding a grid of flattened square blocks, with a single block missing. I have fond memories of playing with the 15 Puzzle and some of the variants growing up. Over the years there have been many variations on the original, with colored blocks, jumbled pictures, variously sized grids, etc. The classic 15 Puzzle shown above was "invented" by Noyes Palmer Chapman around 1874. ![]() According to Wikipedia, sliding puzzles have been with us for a very long time. ![]()
