To make your filing cabinet version look less messy. You could raise the plane that separates each puzzle. So basically have a tall box with a lid that has all the slits. Then position all the number tags so they poke out the top. I would personally raise the rim past the tags I just mentioned so I can rest the board on top to act as a lid

That box is nowhere near big enough for my problems 😂😅

one idea... you have colors assigned for the bits. You might think about specifying the color for puzzles... one color for easy, one for mid, one for hard, and one for expert. You could also encode a number somewhere on the puzzle which lists the total number of possible solutions (now that you have a program to find them).

What's going to happen for the people who bought the original on Myminifactory?

awesome video until the last bit lol. creepy lol. i thought those pants were for his dog or something lol

Would love for you to revisit these: 1. Tippi Tree (maybe new skin) 2. 3D pen project/art (rejected animals??) 3. VR!!!!! These are some of the things I would like to see again.

Normaly sweater dont need to go on a hanger. Also just learn to use a normal hanger.

I got version one a few days ago. My timing is great

Agreed as a beginner print in place is fun and satisfying but as I get more into it (in the props and toys phase) I find the assembly bit to be more fun often like a little puzzle

I would love the lazer cut versions. I would still 3d print them even if it took more material and longer to do.

Laser version would be great. More and more of us have a 3d printer and laser. This design works well with both, but I feel it's more suited to laser. However works well with both.

I'd probably be willing to 2d print and hand cut the problems just for the flat pack storage.

99 Problems

Love that shirt. And love the idea of using the laser cutter. Always like to do laser cutter stuff to make it seem like i didnt just buy it on a whim

The laser cut patterns are MUCH better!! They won't tangle and would take up less space

Great work, Devin!

I really like the laser cut angle. It could be done on cardstock/cardboard to avoid all the plastic usage (cheaper too) + the easier storage you mentioned.

Wow, that shirt is a statement.

I always love a new video from banana springo guy

Such a cool concept! And the name has a nice ring to it. I just bought the full set and I am looking forward to print it

I wonder if something like kinetic sand could be used to hold odd shaped pieces?

Just wondering if purchases of models made on MMF would transfer to thangs or at least get updates as well.

Awesome game just got an aweskme update)

Laser cutter version is the best! Please make it!

You could at a slit on the hole by the number so they could be stored on a ring and pulled off or replaced easily. Or instead of a ring it could just be a small guide rail so they could be stacked and moved together easily.

The game reminds me of travel games made by "Smart Games". They have a logic line with similar (none moving) pieces. What they do is fill the whole grid with pieces and have a booklet with puzzles ranging from simple to advanced. In the booklet are starting points demonstrated how you need to lay out different pieces before you can start solving the puzzle. I think this has the added benefit of taking up a lot less space (and print time) and filling in a whole board is also really satisfying. I'm not going to paste a link here because it probably gets flagged, but do a search for "Smart Games - IQ Fit", fun puzzles by the way!

Talking about the problems is hilarious. Because it sounds like you're talking about like, issues that you're having. But then like, it just sounds nonsensical.

This looks like so much fun! Wish I had a printer myself 👏

I subscribed to your Thangs like a few months ago and I'm honestly blown away how good your games are on first principles. Your approach to fun games with flexible house rule approaches always leads to the best version of the game for me and my friends.

Cool! 👍

There has to be a way how to make the templates modular (break them to few unique connecting parts) and provide book instead of lot of plastic templates but who knows if that is viable solution :)

i would like to see a LED Matrix underneath that just lights up the problem outlines, controllable via app or just a rotary encoder which increments by 1 or shuffles when clciked.

Another great video!

Lets go he posted! You have inspired me to make my own game.

Maybe you thought of this already, but I think it would be awesome if the problem numbers were all at the top while they're stored so they can be easily identified. Sort of like the folder labels in your file cabinet analogy.

Idea for the puzzle levels: instead of laser cutting, just a simple (paper) printable version. Then can print of decent thick paper and manually cut out the inner outline. Easy to store too, just a few sheets of paper. Sure, it’s not 3d printed, but simple and works.

Now I need a laser cutter, Devin said so. I'll go tell my wife.

That shirt is legit Devin! This is an awesome puzzle, thanks for sharing with the community!

I would suggest a DIY led strip grid, then no puzzle to store, and infinite possibilities, allowing the community to propose downloadable puzzles. Less things to print could be better for the planet too. 😄

Thanks for the update! I’ll have to try to print this

thank you! i recently started 3d printing as a hobby with a used printer but the printbed was just too small to print out skewbits v1. im waiting for a sale for a few printers i found interesting and this is probably the first thing i will print after tuning the printer in :)

Since you are talking about "partnering" and "getting it out to more people" Would I be work for making an online version of the game (obviously crediting you as the inventor, and with links to all the relevant things like this channel, the STL's, and all that jazz) Cause it seams like a really cool programming challenge, and this way people that don't have a 3D printer, could also enjoy this fun game

Will you update also the Myminifactory listing? 🙂

If the problems had the grid itself at the bottom inside the puzzle, or maybe just every 3rd row/coloumn, then they wouldn't tangle when placed on top of each other, because there's no way to get in it. Of course this means more material per puzzle in the end as well. But probably less compared to the sleeves and it could be stacked just like the laser cut version

Love that shirt! Good to see you back in my feed. You always amaze me with your ingenuity. Kudos to you and keep creating!

I didn't see the laser cut files mentioned on Thangs. Do you plan on releasing them because I really like those.

this is fantastic! could you also add a few little extras to tippy tree?

im a member but its trying to charge me to download the full version of this, is that because it's a bundle?

Super cool project! :) For the puzzle outlines, how about a vertical stick with a standardized attachment that would have the number of the puzzle outline and just "clip" to the puzzle outline's number label that you already added? (putting all puzzle outlines horizontal and twisting circularly around a vertical axis). I am not sure if my vision is easy to imagine, but that would render almost as an art piece of a tree, with 3D printed little pieces with numbers from 1 to 50 always staying on. You would easily be able to browse through the puzzles, pick the specific one you want without moving all the other, and know where to store each one when you're done. This would use a minimal amount of plastic, and you could even imagine adding some kind of a toggle on the small pieces, so that you could keep track of which one you already completed.

Love the laser cutting idea for problems! I wonder if some kind of software could be used to convert the outline of the level into a laser path.
