The build quality for the cost makes sense, but for that price I would expect it to be more difficult to solve. Each step seemed relatively self-explanatory and I was surprised that you rated it 3/5 rather than 2/5. Still an absolutely stunning puzzle and I really enjoyed watching each element act on the next stages.
For the price i'd expect it to give an item that 2 or 3 shot the final boss of the game I was trapped in.
Anybody else got a perma-smile from listening to Mr. Puzzle giggle in excitement for all of us throughout this whole video? I'm still grinning about it!
Always!!🤗
I bought the Mecanigma Kit just after I graduated with my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering (as a little graduation gift to myself). It was on an 8 month pre-order at the time! Once I finally got it, I loved building it but it certainly took a long time! I think I was one of the very first people to build the kit version of this and it is one of my favorite puzzles ever.
Building it definitely gives more fun than buying assambled and unlocking it in... 13 minutes. That looks cool but doesn't give too much brain flex and also once solved it's not funny anymore (unlike many other 10x cheaper puzzles).
Doesn't building it spoil the solve? I've always been curious about that.
@@josephmiller997 It is such a long process, you eventually forget how things go together hahaha
@@tyfunk8614 lol!
It's the boyish giggles and glee that keep me coming back
I'm also in love with this, the melding of function and form is perfect and the way it unfolds as you progress, fantastic.
Mechanigma is my favorite puzzle out of the roughly 10,000 that I own. It is visually stimulating as well as tactically and auditorilly pleasing. It is my go to puzzle when demonstrating a puzzle to new visitor to my collection.
Complètement d'accord nkd est tout simplement incroyable je possède aussi une mecanigma et une architecto incroyable !!!!
Your giggle and sense of enjoyment when working on puzzles is very contagious!! I can genuinely say I have a big smile on my face while watching and not much does that for me these days. Many thanks...Love ya Mr P
I would expect more puzzle's included and more difficult for $3,000! But the engineering and workmanship is second to none.
As I said to Nicolas below, if I were the designer of this puzzle and the cost to sell it (assembled) at a profit was $3k, I would find some other method of production, or if not possible, I'd redesign it. For one thing, I personally wouldn't buy this for more than $50 with all the plastic parts, despite knowing the hours of work that still go into assembling it. It's a mechanical, steampunk design, and the sight and sound of plastic immediately brings me out of that illusion. Maybe if the designers had done something like partner with Uri Tuchman to make real brass fittings, then found a way to get the originals cast-mold reproduced in some brass- or bronze-colored base metal, the puzzle would appeal to me to be handled.
I think it's beautifully designed, don't get me wrong. And now that I've taken a look at their website, it looks like they're saying the assembled puzzles have sold out the limited 30-unit run, so it was a calculated gamble that paid off for them. But if the entirety of the production staff and facility of your project is "Couple of people working in their converted garage/barn,"* you're probably better off doing as someone below described and selling the plans instead. Or making a single, exquisite and unique version of each design, showing it around on CZcams before selling it at this price or higher, and _then_ selling the plans as well as the less expensive assembly kits with the plastic (ick) or cheap metal (preferred) version of the fittings. Otherwise, I'm surprised if they make in sales what their time invested is worth.
*Not a fact, but the impression I got from the website.
The fact you could hide something in there is awesome! You could put a gift inside of a gift.
I've built two of these from kit form (my next one is going to be a colour variant). Probably even more satisfying than solving the puzzle itself as you get a tru appreciation for the build quality, tight tollerances, and inginuity behind the build.
Chris Ramsey had solved this puzzle ~two years ago, and it has long been my absolute favorite puzzle. However, I greatly appreciate your perspective on the solve process, since you're coming from an engineering background, and you explain so well how all the moving pieces affect the rest of the puzzle.
If I recall, it took Chris a bit longer to solve.
@@josephmiller997 I believe that you're right. He didn't know the purpose of the knobs until the very end, while Mr. Puzzle turned each knob, as he finished each side of the puzzle box.
Is there Ramsay vs Mr puzzle heat?
@@jjlaw9995 No, not at all. I was just stating that I'd seen this puzzle before, and it was my favorite, and I appreciated Mr.Puzzle's interpretation of the mechanics.
I love this type of sequential puzzle, and that one is a thing of beauty. Wow!
Love, love, love the details. I can see that the maker put all his heart and soul into creating this superb puzzle... what a masterpiece!
Remarkable craftsmanship; an absolutely beautiful puzzle!
Though I must admit, the price is quite daunting for such a quick / easy solve. Maybe if they sold the plans to 3D print / assemble it yourself, you could put it together as a gift for someone?
Looks really high quality!
That puzzle is so cool! It's a piece of art more than a puzzle! Hard to imagine that it takes 70 hours to assemble it, but it is as complex as it is beautiful.
I don't have the kit and haven't read anything about the puzzle elsewhere, but 3D printing takes hours in itself. So does cutting, sanding, and finishing all those specific, intricately cut-out layers of wood. Then you have to go back to the 3D printed parts and sand those, because even the very best printers produce objects with little bits here or there that reveal the individual layer formation, or because the tolerance for parts fitting is just a tiny bit off, or you have to have support material printed under them somewhere, or need a slightly wider first layer than what you actually want the final product to be just to make it stick to the print surface.
That said, I do think that in the first stages (printing, wood cutting, wood finishing), a single run might be able to produce parts for multiple units, so it's possible that they are taking 70 hours total, but (random estimate) 48 of those hours are mutually spent in lengthy, higher-capacity processes with other units that haven't been assembled yet.
@@VeganAtheistWeirdo ...Right... now that makes more sense to me. If Mr. Puzzle said that it takes 70 hours to _make_ this puzzle (from start to finish), then it wouldn't mislead me, I was being too literal with the word "assemble" but for a good reason (see below for why!)
I acknowledge there are a lot of steps to make and finish those components, and once you have the prototype sorted out, then batching out several at a time is the way to go.
(I work at as an Firmware Engineer at a company that also has a back warehouse factory that assembles our products on site; we have different external contractors that make our PCB's and stuff them (PCBA's), plastics (molded), other off the shelf components, various fasteners, etc. However, the final assembly and test of the product is done separately and the labor paid to the workers on the floor is by the hour... which is why the Mechanical, Electronics, and even Firmware engineers need to be aware of when designing the products... e.g. costs 2 cents to stuff a component on a board, test and code flash time takes 1 minute, etc. so the word "Assembly", to me, has a specific meaning to me that does not including the fabrication of parts... i.e. you already have the parts, now you are putting the product together )
A work of art, absolutely beautiful.
Stunning and very nicely made puzzle, I smiled throughout the video just at Mr Puzzle's excitement.
We need a new Rating inaddition to the Difficulty Rating
Difficulty Rating: 3/5
Mechanically Interesting Rating: 6/5
I love puzzles like this. The "sequential discovery" type.
this is one of my favourite puzzles. there is just something special about wooden mechanics. and the amount of detail on the outside is superb. I find alot of puzzle boxes can be bland to look at
Wow, this looks MONSTROUS. Good stuff, king! 👍
Oh my goodness that is a thing of beauty. I think I'd love to have a go at putting it together. Listen to your delight and excitement is wonderful. 👍 😊
That looks incredible🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥
Really amazing quality and design.
Beautiful piece of art
Looks like it could accidentally raise a bunch of demons who will take you to a universe of paine.
Oops, once again hit send before finished writing. Trying to say, a beautifully crafted object 😉
The look and feel of this puzzle reminds me of an App that I used to play.
I initially thought it was "Monument Valley" but now I think I am wrong.
what a gorgeous puzzle
You get the puzzles I wait months to get. Worth the wait thou. I jsut ordered my Hanayama cast planet a few days ago from Japan stocked to get it
Christian: "this is gonna be a long video probably"...
... 13 minutes later...
"OHHH my god this is a complete opening!!!"
The appeal of those puzzles is the the haptic, the mechanic and impressive handcrafting - all things you cannot replicate within an mobile app - an app only would be a cheap possibibility to try out such a puzzle, but it isnt nearly the joy as to feel it in your hands.
I like it just for it's appearance. It is like a sculpture. I would keep it on my desk just to enjoy my eyes. :-)
This is the one I built awhile back such a great puzzle
i'd buy some of the puzzles you solved just for decoration. this one included.
It looks very Steampunk!
i can see that used in a horror movie
I love that there is empty space inside so you can store prizes for anyone who opens it .
beautiful!!
Thats a big one
Architecto is their master piece.
OK - das Puzzle will ich haben !!!! Design und Aussehen des Puzzles bewerte ich schon mal mit 200 MILLION von 10 Sternen xD
5:32 video start
OMG, I wish I could afford one of these Mr. Puzzle
Demo - instead of "DAY-mo", it would be "DEH-mo" (rhyming with "memo").
Thus puzzle is beautiful and 3K to buy damn.. I just bought the escape room puzzle the other day for my birthday
Guy's not even anxious about it 🥵
"This is gonna be amazing"
Link to short where you assemble the bird one pls cant find it! :)
Looks like assembling this puzzle is the the main aspect. Solving it is for the stray person who picks it up off of the coffee table.
Woww quel puzzle magnifique c'est juste incroyable j en veux vite ! En plus c'est à monter sois même youhouuu pouce en l air
Mr puzzle, I loved that. a question to everybody. Have you all watched The Immitation Game? I'm sure many of you have. Does anybody link the Apple logo to this? Just wondering😊
The mobile app is painful to use. The developer simultaneously uses "swipe to rotate the puzzle 90 degrees" and "drag to manipulate pieces." So, every time you try to manipulate a piece that is locked in place, the puzzle does a 90 degree rotation..
Hey Mr. Puzzle, have you ever played The Room (or its sequels)? And if so, what did you think? If you haven't, you should try them out.
Zen time again 😇
that's a modern copy of Antikythera mechanism 😋
I need this box
Very , very well thought out puzzle and i would prolly think the main person who first came up with the idea has been thinking about something like this there whole life...
What i really find interesting is how it is also out for an app version so whomever would like to enjoy it ......can and will be able to solve it at there own convenience.
I just hope down the road they do not make it so pricey that they run there self out of business.
Very very kool and i will be something special to try and solve it myself .....
Thanx Mr. P and go and check your undies cause i think you had a small lil mishap the way you sounded like you were a lil overwhelmed with alot of excitement ... (Just Joking)
Great video and i would prolly be way more excited than you ....... lol
Whoaaaaahhhhh!!! Maybe not so difficult, but a be as u
i got this one in kit ! i still didn't finish it because it pretty hard to construct haha
I can imagine! Must be a lot of work!
@@Mr.Puzzle it's insanely hard, i need to file some pieces allost everytime, plus the wood can break easily, i still need to build three of the faces
Guau!😀😃
Who needs a safe when you got this
Uh $3,000?? MKD the manufacturer in France currently sells this in kit form for $330 and what I suspect is a Chinese knockoff is sold by Teleru for $69. I can't attest to the quality of the Teleru version (just ordered) but who sold this for $3,000??? It looks great but really???
Difficulty 3/5? It's a 1/5 or 2/5 at best. It's completely linear and you literally can see what does what, every mechanism is visible. Expensive luxury item but not amazing at all.
I agree about the difficulty but disagree about the puzzle being "amazing." A great deal of attention was paid to the details of the steampunk aesthetic, like the visible interlocking gears, the "brass" pipes and dial facings, and the little "glass" lens.
Do I think it's worth _my_ $3k? God no. In fact, if I were the designer, and this puzzle cost me that much to produce, I'd find another way or redesign it. But that doesn't take away from the beautiful design that already was completed, IMO.
Did you spend $3000 on this?
That app is not fun to use. The controls are not intuitive. And 3k for that 1/5 box? I hope they paid you well.
a bit too excited regarding all the details. making for distraction on sequencing of the solve as you were more interested in the construction rather than the solve.
3000 $ für einen zerklüfteten Würfel aus Holz und Plastik? Nicht wirklich, oder? Selbst wenn der Aufbau knifflig und zeitaufwendig zu bewerkstelligen ist, bei dem Preis würde ich Messingteile und kein Plastik aus dem 3D-Drucker erwarten.
Aber die Mechanik ist gut gemacht.
Gg
made by humans..... but what strange is that many signs & symbols on this planet are man use and not man creating so calling the matrix... .... so... humans may creating the wheel... but they never invented the circle..... but .. y̶̡̢̙̘̗̼̯̰̅͂̍̽̆́͒̆̈́̀̉̕͠a̵̯̟͇͉͋̚͜ȁ̶̢̳̪̥͎̩̦̫͓͓̏͋͌̀̑̔̑̆̄͌̽̄̂̄͜ͅa̸̟̰̟̱̫͔̿̈́͋̿̒̍͊̂̋̆͜͝ͅ ̶͛̿.....knowing & believing are also different things.....atiki taki tiki tu

Meh.
sad puzzle not worth 3k maybe as an paper weigh for 30 dollars can't give this a thumbs up...
lol $3,000 is laughable. I might pay $300 for it and even that's pushing it..
ah yes, slap some gears and brass and call it steampunk. the dumbest and laziest artistic style in existence :D
Lever rhymes with beaver, not clever, in proper English.
No.
Try to play The Room (android). awesome mechanisms and puzzle game! Won't regret 100%
I wish DaVinci was alive to see this....
