チューリング・タンブル - バーチャルパック

Was missing the ball release and have a printer at work. Printed in 15 minutes. Needed a needle file for the hole, but an easy fix. Have a few more pieces to make to replace the other pieces, but I’m so happy to have a fully functional Turing Tumble. Thanks guys

I bought Virtual Pack with the intention of printing a complete game with my Bambu Labs X1C printer. The Virtual Pack does not include any printing profiles. The small pieces should be re-designed with removable pins so that they can be printed flat. There should also be a version of the game board that can be printed in sections and then glued together. It looks like I spent $20 for nothing.

It took a bit for my 8 yo boys to warm up to the story. At first they wanted to just create their own combinations. Once they started working the challenges, the set took on w whole new aspect. They�re motivated to earn new pieces as they finish more challenges.

I ordered a Virtual pack and as recommended, I also bought a computer board as recommended in the product description.However it turns out, most other parts aren’t particularly well suited for single extrusion 3d-printers either, which made it hard to prepare those as well.Also, you still need to purchase weights for the ramps somewhere (not for sale in this store), the main balls (which are for sale but seem to permanantely be sold out) and probably a board stand.The crossover-elements are particulary hard to print so they operate with reasonable reliability.The shop could make the required items much clearer since the shipment ist quite expensive and youe don’t want to return for individual parts.It is also sad that it isn't possible to buy a German puzzle book along with the virtual pack without paying that twice.The game itsself is a lot of fun and I just bought a regular copy for someone. The virtual pack isn’t a fair deal since it's unclear what you sign up for.

As an experience 3D printer user, I didn’t think much before purchasing the virtual version. First, the experience is not good. What I received was a temporary download link that can only be accessed from that email, not within the account. And the link expired after just a few days, so if I didn’t save the downloaded file, I’m doomed. More importantly, the parts’ tolerance are too tight for FDM printing. I had to use a drill to open up the holes so the parts can spin more freely, yet I still can’t make linked gears turn appropriately (3D printing is not as smooth as injection molded parts). So overall, the virtual version is not carefully executed or tested and compromised an otherwise ingeniously designed product.
