Bringing it back on topic.... I made a keyring sized one from 316 stainless steel I'd show you inside, but i can't get it apart :D |

Haha ! That is brilliant! :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: Why can`t you open it - have you forgot the alignment or is something catching inside? I know I had a slight burr on the top edge of my groove which was originally making my first puzzle a bit tricky. I sanded it off but actually in retrospect quite liked it - made it a bit harder to open!! I hope you can get it open soon - please post pics when you do! I originally wrote, what size are your balls? But I think it would be better worded - what diameter ball bearings did you use for that? |
| raynerd:
Just looking at the pics again - are the balls a little small for the groove only you have got quite a big rise on that of the lid? |

--- Quote ---what size are your balls? --- End quote --- :lol: I started to cut the grooves to suit 4mm balls then realised I didn't have enough meat in the plunger part to make them deep enough (I was just making it up as I went along), so I'm using three 3.5mm balls running in ~4.5mm long grooves, hence the gap. I don't mind the gap, being able to see the hole and notch doesn't make it any easier to get apart. It will come part (at least it did before I fitted the spring) .... [edit] I've just noticed those balls are Kn****d, I might have one more go at the groove to fit 4mm balls Ah here it is: |

Nice job! :headbang: :headbang: :ddb: |
