In this video, I’ll be making a multi metal puzzle cube that I designed in fusion 360. Its similar in shape to a Rubik's cube but is not solved in the same way. First I 3-D printed the puzzle pieces on my Prusa 3-D printer using a special filament called Polycast. Then I coated the pieces in a ceramic material, called Suspendaslurry. I burned the plastic filament out of the shells in my kiln, and vitrified the shells. I melted copper aluminum and bronze, and filled each shell with a different metal. Then I broke off the ceramic material to reveal the castings. Once the castings were complete, I spent several hours sanding and polishing them. I also made a bronze base and wooden stand to build the puzzle pieces on.

I've never seen someone put so much time and effort into making molds. The results speak for themselves. WOW!!!

Looks amazing, would love to see a version with a clear acrylic holder instead of a wooden one to show off the cube even more

As usual, another epic video that showcases your hard-won skills. The integration of the metalworking and woodworking components complemented one another nicely, and I can't remember the last time 15 minutes passed by so quickly!

This was SUCH a GREAT project!! At first I didn't think it was a good idea, but in the end I TOTALLY AGREE with you keeping the surfaces of the metal in a matte finish.... Yes glossy and mirrored would be great to look at, but it would be COVERED ion fingerprints by the time anyone gets done solving the puzzle.... And seeing it all glossy isn't very inviting to play with because everyone will be worried about fingerprints... but leaving it matte says "PICK ME UP AND PLAY WITH ME!!!" and thats EXACTLY what you want with a puzzle!

Great work! But I think it will be easier to mill such cubic forms rather than cast them so precisely and mill it anyway at the end :)
