I am testing out a new type of maze where the goal is to connect two gears on the opposite sides of the board. You must use all the gears in the set and all of them must be connected.

 

Upgraded version (available for free for limited time) of larger board and multiple puzzle inserts available free on my thang page here: GET FREE DESIGS

 

 

Back to the design files you can get on this page

 

It is simple to connect sides without using all the gears, but can you fit them all in the board without them blocking each other?

This is concept level! If it is enjoyed, then I will be developing additional levels that will include way more ideas that will make finding the path so much more challenging - blocks on the board and so much more!

Printed well, but the red gears seem to have a preferred direction of rotation for some reason? This bug happens when the red gear is connected any single yellow gear. Its kind of strange. Bambu PLA Matte.

I think the gears would be more stable If the pegs extended beyond the gears, but I'm too lazy to cut it

I am planning to upload an updated version later this week with the larger grid and obstacles. In that version this issue should not occur anymore. :)

Prints well but : - the 2 side gears are a bit wobbly - it's quite easy to place all gears on the board. The real challenge should be to place all gears *with all of them being essential*. Meaning that if you remove one of them, the circuit doesn't work.

I agree with all of this. Did you ever find a way to fit them all in with one continuous gear train?
