Here's a kind of puzzle that builds a sphere from 4 different pieces. The style of the pieces is inspired by the Eiffel Tower.
It is designed for 4mm MDF cut on a Laser Cutter.
Here's the count of pieces you will be making:
- 24 wheels with 5 slots
- 40 wheels with 6 slots
- 60 curved with 2 circles
- 30 curved with 3 circles
- A couple of spares wouldn't hurt
Assembly
- Take 5 curved pieces with two circles in them and them attach to a five slot wheel
- Take 2 of the above assemblies and attach them to a six slot wheel along with a curved piece with three circles
- Continue making these assemblies until you use up your pieces. Then assemble into a sphere.
