3D model description

The original version of this pet enrichment toy was based on those old, handheld, picture puzzles with the sliding tiles.

This puzzle has no picture to arrange but rather the tiles are moved around in order to access the small food compartments beneath the tiles.
This remix version has the additional challenge that the knob, on the top of each of the tiles, has to be aligned with the direction the tile is to be moved in order for the tile to move at all.
Needless to say, this is a lot more difficult than the original puzzle so it should keep your creatures out of mischief for that much longer :)

Print Settings
The Sliders/tiles are the only parts that require supports. I would recommend printing the Sliders as they are rather than laying them flat as doing so will result in a lot more clean-up work.

Although I have included some STL files with multiple parts, I personally prefer to use the single part files and print fewer parts at one time, using the one-at-a-time slicer setting as this reduces the risk of losing everything if something goes wrong during the print.
