Twisted Cable

This CAD model was designed by Oskar van Deventer, copyright (c), 13 September 2024.

Twisted Cable is a put-together puzzle. It is a variation to the classic cable puzzle. That puzzle has a bunch of identical helical pieces of wire, twisted together into a hollow cable. The puzzle is now made harder by having non-identical pieces. Unlike the original, it is no longer possible to twist a single final piece in or out. Instead, the final moves requires two pieces twist into the three other ones. Also, the pieces are shaped, so only some of them fit together. The design includes a few near-miss solutions, where almost all pieces fit, but not the final one or two.
