I have made some progress on the Lotus Flower puzzle, but now am well and truly stuck.I have separated the big bolt and removed it and the ring. I have found the little rod inside the bolt. I have inserted the little rod into the threaded hole and threaded the rod in above it. I have tried every spin move I can think of, but nothing is releasing the bottom piece at all. I cannot see any way to use the three other pieces to help.So am I totally off track here, or is this the right approach? If someone could give me a gentle hint, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. submitted by /u/rbk314 [visit reddit ..read more

https://youtu.be/yB_JNPbDp8c Yuu Asaka is my favourite 2D packing puzzle designer and he is one of the reasons I fell into the mechanical puzzle rabbit hole. For Traffic 15, the goal is to fit all 15 pieces into the tray, sounds easy right? Wrong! This puzzle has been voted as the best Yuu Asaka puzzle by the Mechanical Puzzle Discord, watch the video to see why! submitted by /u/ibau [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

https://youtu.be/B6TEkKRhpSA Pooplock number 1 is designed by the generous puzzle designer Mikael, AKA beats and pieces (https://www.youtube.com/@UCXd60s58LWyAR7Czt5ierTg ) This is his 2022 design for IPP and was lent to me from the designer himself.

https://youtu.be/goysfP7foqI Kissel is a disassembly puzzle made by Vin&Co, consists of 4 L shaped pieces made out of 3 spheres and a stick. Sounds easy but super difficult! The great thing is the finishing of the puzzle is excellent, so its a very satisfying puzzle to handle.

As a first time purchaser from Felixure, should I get the Standard Titan or the Hammered Titan? Are they the same puzzle but just different aesthetics? I'd love some recommendations as I've never spent this much on a single puzzle. submitted by /u/vanimox [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
