About this print
A puzzle box with a concealed internal maze, meaning the user cannot see the labyrinth while attempting to solve it. It is available in two versions, one with multiple routes that can lead to backtracking, and one with a single solution and numerous dead ends. The box also functions as a secret container once opened. PLA prints this complex geometric design reliably, though accurate print tolerances are important for smooth internal movement.

** End Note**
This is quite a large and complicated maze box. It's different to other maze boxes as you cannot see the maze as you are solving it.
I've included a couple of versions of the Outside maze section. Version A has a few solutions that can cause you to backtrack accidentally, and Version B has only one solution and lots of places to get lost.
I would love to see any makes of this, and any recommendations for future versions.
