Description
The Almost Impossible puzzle applied to a heart.
Instructions
Print the 4 parts and assemble (if you can!).
The openscad has a parameter that defines the spacing between the pieces. The supplied STLs were generated with a spacing of 0.25mm. Depending on your calibration (and whether you are using the buggy Slic3r version) you may need to tweak this to get the pieces to go together well. I printed using the git version of slicer that implements an equivalent of skeinforge's comb function, and the pieces fit quite snugly.

Very cool, like it very much. I printed this on my PP3DP printer at 0.2mm on Fine, and the parts are incredibly tight. I got it assembled and 95% put together, but I cannot seperate the pieces - haha. Damn.
Do you recommend having to sand each piece, or is a setting change able to solve this?
If the clearance could be increased that would be great, but its a press fit at the moment.
Thanks
i can't put it together ? whats the trick i can get three out of the 4 pieces but can't get the last piece in ???????????????????
Follow the ancestors that this was derived from back to the original almost impossible sphere. It has a video link for how to assemble. The same technique works for the heart.
