Survivor 32 - Three Tiered Pole Puzzle

This is the iconic three tiered pole puzzle Michele Fitzgerald crushed that was featured on Survivor 32 Kaôh Rōng. This puzzle also appears on Survivor 40 Winners at War with some slightly altered pieces. I will be creating a remixed print listing for the Survivor 40 puzzle.

This puzzle is solved by using poles to create 6 columns of equal height in three different levels. Each level uses an increasing number of poles, however the height for the finished column remains the same.

Print Instructions

gcode

The gcode files inlcluded will print the correct number of pieces for each level and has filament changes incorporated to create the black lines at the top and bottom of each pole to match the poles used in Survivor.

stl

If you are using the stl files, I would suggest scaling by a factor of 250. You do not need to use any supports or rafts. You will need the following number of poles for each level.

- Level 1 (16 poles) - 1x S32_Triple_Pole_10 - 6x S32_Triple_Pole_15 - 5x S32_Triple_Pole_20 - 4x S32_Triple_Pole_25 - Level 2 (20 poles) - 9x S32_Triple_Pole_10 - 5x S32_Triple_Pole_15 - 4x S32_Triple_Pole_20 - 1x S32_Triple_Pole_25 - 1x S32_Triple_Pole_30 - Level 3 (21 poles) - 9x S32_Triple_Pole_10 - 10x S32_Triple_Pole_15 - 3x S32_Triple_Pole_20 The additional platforms are used to indicate which colored poles should be used on each platform and ensure that all the poles are the correct level before moving to the next set of pieces.
