Hi iMaterialse fans,
Okta is an octagonal four-piece puzzle. The octagon is cut into eight “pizza” slices. Opposite slides are internally connected. The puzzle-design challenge was to develop a puzzle with this property. This is my solution to the challenge. I am still not 100% sure to what extent the puzle uses some flexibility of the material. I have the suspicion that there may be a more interesting puzzle lurking in here, with all parts different such that there is only a single way of them fitting together, and material added at places to allow only one way of assembling the puzzle. More research to do.
Watch the YouTube video.
Buy the puzzle at my iMaterialise Shop.
