Description
Two-piece twist puzzle: a truncated hexagonal-pyramid block with a spiral slot and a twisted bar that threads through it.
The block has a 44 mm across-corners hexagonal base tapering to 28 mm at the top, 30 mm tall. The bar has a matching hexagonal head and an 8 × 18 mm twisted section. Both parts are 30 mm tall when assembled and finish flush.

A round-based pyramid block with a tapering spiral channel, plus a matching twisted bar that screws into it. Both parts narrow to a point and the twist runs the full height, so the bar's tip follows the spiral all the way up. Remix hooks Twist rate: 3° per mm. Lower it for a gentler spiral, raise it for a tighter one. Bar section: 6 × 14 mm. Thicker bars need a wider block base (44 mm) to keep the walls solid. Clearance: 0.3 mm per side. Tune it to your printer. Tip taper: the bar narrows to 10% of its section over 62 mm. A sharper or blunter point is a one-number change. Pairs with: print both parts base-down; a plain round tray makes a nice display stand.

Un piccolo faraone dei puzzle: un blocco a piramide troncata con un foro a spirale e una barra twistata che vi scivola dentro. La barra si infila dal basso, la testa a piramide si adagia nell'incavo e, ruotandola, la spirale la guida fino all'altra estremità. Entrambi i pezzi sono alti 30 mm, così a incastro completato restano a filo. Blocco: base 44 mm, cima 28 mm, altezza 30 mm Barra: sezione 8 × 18 mm, altezza totale 30 mm Gioco 0,3 mm Stampa entrambi con la base sul piano
A 96 × 40 × 100 mm box with three full-height twisted channels. Each channel holds three stacked 28 mm fusilli pieces that screw down the spiral and drop out through a sliding door in the base. Narrow 8 mm viewing slits on the front show the pasta riding the spiral without letting it out. Remix hooks Pieces per channel: three at 28 mm with 1 mm gaps. Change the piece length or count to fill the channel differently. Twist rate: 10.8° per mm. Lower is a lazier spiral, higher is tighter. Pasta and channel must share it. Clearance: 0.5 mm around the pasta. Adjust to suit your printer. Slit width: 8 mm. Widen it for a better view, but keep it narrower than the pasta. Pairs with: a crank or knob on the pasta tops, or a stop on the door.
A Funko-style snowman built as separate pieces: body, square head, top hat and two stick arms. The head has a 17.49 × 17.49 mm square pocket, 9.92 mm deep, in its flat underside. Fit notes Pocket: 17.49 × 17.49 × 9.92 mm in the head underside. Measure your mating part before printing. Head top: flat. The threaded post has been removed. Hat: still carries its threaded socket, so it does not screw onto this head as built. Not fitted: the body has no matching peg for the pocket.
A 37 × 18 × 12 mm hollow 2U keycap with a raised Frostmourne sword running lengthwise across the top, flanked by two relief skulls and a row of small icy spikes along both long edges. It has a Cherry MX cross socket at center and two stabilizer sockets at ±11.9 mm. Remix hooks Wall and top thickness: walls are 1.8 mm and the top plate is 2 mm (cavity ends at z = 8.5). Thicken for strength or thin for less plastic. Relief height: all relief rises about 1.5 mm above the 10.5 mm top surface. Raise it only if the 12 mm height limit isn't a constraint. Skull placement: skulls sit at x = +5.5, y = ±5.4. Move or mirror them to the hilt side, or swap in other emblems. Socket fit: the cross slot is 4.2 × 1.35 mm. Adjust ±0.1 mm to tune for your printer's tolerance. Pairs with: Cherry MX switches and a standard 2U plate-mount or PCB-mount stabilizer. Print upside down, or with the top facing up using a fine layer height such as 0.12 mm. Variants: swap the sword for another motif, or recolor the spikes with a filament change.
Noelring is a seating ring designed to sit inside a hollow sphere, with “Merry Christmas 2026” lettering held in its opening. The ring’s outer edge is cut to the sphere’s inner curve, so the seat meets a 97.4 mm internal-diameter shell across the full 3 mm ring width instead of resting on a single line. The top and bottom faces are flat, the centre is open with no background plate, and the three text lines run the full 4 mm height of the ring, flush with both faces. The lettering is set in Parisienne, a connected cursive script with a dotless “i” in “Christmas”; “Christmas” runs into the ring wall at both ends and is the only line fused to it, while “Merry” and “2026” are not tied to the ring and depend on touching “Christmas” to stay in place. Dimensions Ring: 97.4 mm outer diameter × 4 mm tall Ring width: 3 mm; inner diameter about 91.4 mm Seat: outer edge curved to a sphere with a 97.4 mm internal diameter (48.7 mm radius) Lettering block: about 91.3 × 48.2 mm, full 4 mm height Features Curved outer edge follows the sphere’s inner surface across the full ring width Flat top and bottom faces, with the seat carried on the outside edge Open centre: the lettering has no background plate behind it Three stacked lines, “Merry”, “Christmas” and “2026”, set in Parisienne, a connected cursive script “Christmas” runs into the ring wall at both ends and is anchored there “Merry” and “2026” are not joined to the ring; they rely on contact with “Christmas” The “i” in “Christmas” is dotless, so the line has no separate dot All three lines are set flush with the ring’s top and bottom faces Fit Made for a hollow shell with a 97.4 mm inner diameter; scale the ring and sphere together for any other size The 4 mm height is a design choice: a taller ring grips more wall but reaches further into the sphere The ring locates itself against the sphere’s curve rather than locking in place Print notes “Christmas” is fused to the ring at its ends; “Merry” and “2026” are held only where they touch “Christmas” — check those contact points before printing If a word does not touch “Christmas”, it will print as a loose piece No struts connect “Merry” or “2026” to the ring wall No supports should be needed for the flat ring and full-height lettering
