Moon Jellyfish Puzzle

Task: Design a puzzle with moving parts, based on an animal, which can be easily disassembled and reassembled.

Concept

- Used SolidWorks to design individual parts. 

- Assembled these parts over SolidWorks Assembly.

- Timeline: 3 weeks

Process

- 3D printed the parts  with ABS filament, using Z-suite & 

Result

- Used SOLIDWORKS composer to create an assembly guide.

- Created a demonstration video.

- Secured the pin joints and painted the parts.

Process

Requirements

  • Printing time must be 12 hours or less.
  • The puzzle must be  assembled and taken apart.
  • The puzzle must be easily assembled and taken apart.
  • Must consist of 5+ moving parts.
  • Must be based on an animal.


Approach

We started with an overall concept of what we wanted to achieve: a jellyfish  with spinning tentacles.

Potential Improvements

In future iterations, we will consider:

- Using smaller gears for the legs and flip the direction of rotation to make rotation more visible.
- Adding more detail, such as making the dome fluidly shaped to closely resemble a jellyfish.
- Adding LEDs and experimenting with clear material, such as resin, to create a glow-in-the-dark effect.
