Rattler's Tail

A little bit about the puzzle:

The Rattler's Tail came about initially as a unique puzzle concept that fit a rattler snake theme. Slowly over time the nature of the box "discovered itself" as we added and subtracted mechanisms. Finally the puzzle arrived at something we are very happy to produce, though not without its technical difficulties.

The Lost Vault of Jesse James (PLA)

I designed the Lost Vault in a very basic CAD model back in 2020, and I've only just gotten around to bringing the puzzle to market through the technology of 3D printing. This box will be my first 3D printed puzzle! 

Ben Oxenford started helping me design the puzzle for 3D printing in November of 2021 and six months later we are now ready to share it with the public! 

I sent the puzzle to Steve Canfield to review, and then Robert Yarger as well, and they gave me some great feedback and we subsequently added another couple of puzzles to make it a little harder to solve all of the box's secrets. This is a beginners puzzle, but there are multiple layers to the box that make it a well-rounded solve with riddles and hints along the way.
