This is a Rubiks cube like 16 ball, ball puzzle. It has a pin that you have to hammer in and won't come back out after it is hammered in. You might want to print pin in PETG because it needs to be to be strong. The main body of this puzzle should print without supports provided the side with the pinhole is oriented down well printing, the balls for the puzzle will need supports or a brim and for strength the pin should be printed on its side with supports. Make sure to print 8 balls in one color and 8 in another, as shown in pictures. The puzzle takes eight 5 x 2 mm magnets that may need some glue. The magnets make the puzzle smoother, but are optional. The puzzle is quite easy to solve once you figure it out, but surprisingly difficult to figure out. This is around a the 6 out of 10 on the difficulty scale. The solved state is 3 white balls in one side channel, 3 black balls in the other side channel and then five black balls in a row and then five white balls in a row in the 360° channel, as shown in picture.
