Hello, my name is Tyler, and I am your Puzzle Master Insider.
Welcome to today's video, where I'll be giving you an inside look
at four different 3D Printed Puzzles from Oskar Van Deventer.
The first of which is Spiral Burr.
Second is Cold Fusion.
Third, Star Beams.
Fourth, Hurly Burly.
So these four burr puzzles are not classic burr puzzles, as you can see.
They were 3d printed out of white nylon
by Shapeways.com for Oskar Van Deventer.
He took them to IPP 33 in Narita, Japan and gave a limited and very limited
edition run to Puzzle Master for sale on our website.
After each piece is 3d-printed by Shapeways.com, Oskar dyes them,
sands them down and then assembles and packages them by hand.
The object of each puzzle is to take it apart and then put it back together.
Cold Fusion, Star Beams and Spiral Burr are all rated as Level 8.
While Hurly Burly is rated as a Level 9 on Puzzle Master Difficulty Rating Scale which runs from 5 to 10.
So today I won't be showing you the solution to any of these puzzles.
They are a limited edition run, and we do want
to be careful with taking them apart as none of us here at Puzzle Master really
are all that confident we can get them back together once taken apart and we want to
have as many available for you guys as we can
So I'll start by showing you the Spiral Burr.
As I've said, these are all made out of a white nylon that has been hand-dyed by Oskar
and this puzzle, as much as it looks like it's thin pieces,
it actually feels really heavy-duty. Its each piece is kind of flexible but
sturdy and it's got a neat texture to it, you can almost hear it as I move the
puzzle in and out. And on this one, the first piece that comes out is this red piece.
Now the the Spiral Burr has a specific order that each piece has
to be taken off and put on in. And you can't jump ahead, so I couldn't take out
the yellow one first or something. And it's this red one that goes first and
the red one if you'll notice it doesn't actually have any of these notches so I
don't even see them on there but each piece yellow and black here are notched
out and the red one spirals into those notches, almost. That's what holds the
puzzle in place. So yeah, this red piece can come all the
way out like that. Like I said, I won't take it any further because I'm not sure
I can put it back together, but that's the movement on the Spiral Burr.
Next here is Cold Fusion and this puzzle was actually a collaborated effort by
Oskar and Puzzle Master to name it. Oskar obviously designs all these but Puzzle Master
helped to name Cold Fusion, in collaboration with Oskar.
And this one again, moves kind of like the Spiral Burr, but a little a little bit different and
it's again this red piece that comes out, and you can see it kind of spins
this way.
And again, it's the same thing as the Spiral Burr in that you have to
do them in order and let's see if I can get this back in there. But it kind of spins,
spins down there a little. There you go...tough to move at first, but there it spirals back into
place and just a really neat neat movement on each one, slightly different.
Next is Star Beams.
And this one I believe it is the yellow piece that
comes out first and so each one, if you look, once I get the yellow one out here
each of the pieces is notched and has the star-shaped notches on an angle.
So it's just a really interesting angle on these and...
there we go...just push that yellow piece back in.
But yeah, this one's a little more straight angles as opposed to the other two, other three
actually being all kind of these circular figure eight almost patterns.
And then last is the Hurly Burly.
Now this is the one that's rated a Level 9, as opposed to the eights on the other one and I actually can't for the
life of me get the piece to move out. I don't want to wreck it again
but-- so there's that one. It's got nine pieces so that be hence, the the higher
level rating and a little more, it's solid. This one's harder the other ones
you can feel the move. This one is pretty solid so it can come out and I know in
watching a video on Oskar's site there, that the the pieces move in coordination.
Because some of them are broken up into two pieces so I just, I couldn't quite
get them moving and didn't want to force them. But it-- this one feels
especially solid-like. The other ones feel like maybe they could come apart just
rattling around your pocket or something, this one just is solid.
Really cool though, again just a very interesting puzzles. Well made and well-produced.
All four of these 3d-burr puzzles are available at PuzzleMaster.CA
and you'll find links for them down in the description again.
So if you're interested in more designs by Oskar Van Deventer, and trust me he has many,
you'll want to check out his YouTube channel, his Shapeways page and then he has a
web page as well and and there's this stuff and many more things that you'll
find on there, just interesting facts about him-- he does videos on some of his stuff.
I highly encourage you to go check his stuff out because Oskar is one of the
