As someone who owns several 3d printers, these parts could have been made a lot stronger then they actually were. They should not have broken that easy. If your charging someone 1k, put in the extra time to print skinny sections in 100% infill and find the correct temp to print at for better layer bonding. Orientation on the build plate also makes a huge difference for part strength. That back part snapped way to easy. Looks like the surface quality on the top and bottom layers of some of those parts didn’t look great either. I can see designing this must have taken a long time, which is where I think he’s getting the price from, but the end user isn’t going to see it that way. He’s going to see the broken and incorrectly assembled chunk of plastic laying in parts in front of him. There needed to be as much time testing the end result to make sure it would go smoothly before trying to ask that price.
@@aaronbrown7750 try read the question before you get on your high horse.. Why would i care how long you been on RUclips? Was just trying to say if you've seen a few of chris's videos, as brilliant as he is, he tends to be a bit heavy handed. It doesnt stop me from enjoying his stuff. I just state things as i see them
I'm sure it's for the time it took to design it, so I'm sure it took more than a week or two, so I think that's fair, I mean it's not like it's mass produced
i have multiple 3d printers and i would of used a resin printer to do more of the smaller pieces as I feel like they would of been stronger and set the print to a finer detail you can see all the banding.
@@TheParksy72 what do you think the design and making of these parts are worth, I mean being a printer you know how complicated getting everything to fit can be designing it on the software and coming up with the ideas for the puzzles and putting them in a large piece like this can be extremely difficult
@@shable1436 Still not acceptable. For $1000 QA should be testing each product by hand to ensure it has the proper solution before sending it off to the customer. A redesign is also needed for the parts that broke off. Chris showed off the design flaw clearly. The rod should not have been able to be pushed up over the track, dislodging the plastic covers. It's hard to excuse when these problems were easily avoidable.
The code you're looking for at the end is on the side of the train. The order for each character is listed in binary code -> 001=1, 010=2, 011=3, 100=4, 101=5, 110=6, 111=7
After seeing this, I wouldn't pay more than $20 for the experience. If you're going to send a puzzle to Chris, it better be top notch. The number of components that broke is indicative of, "meh it's good enough I guess"
3D printed puzzles can be great, even just having parts of a puzzle 3D printed can be useful too, but this is excessive. Maybe if SLA printing was used (even for just small parts), there would be less manufacturing errors, but this is far from a $1000 puzzle. This should be an affordable version of a professionally made wooden+metal train puzzle and repeatedly tested for failure points. Anyway, happy birthday and thanks for all the entertainment you've given us!
As someone who does a lot of 3d printing myself and there are several issues with this one between material choice, infill choice, and surface finish. When he mentioned the price I was appalled. The quality of that print is not one I would sell in my etsy store and gives 3d printed objects a bad name.
@@JRosen99 I noticed right away that the part that broke on the back looked hollow and had thin walls, at that price add some extra perimeters and more infill to make the parts stronger!
You are so much more calm than I would be if I paid $1000 for a train puzzle and pieces broke and things were misaligned and couldn't be solved because of "manufacturing defects."
Happy Birthday! I can imagine a fragile puzzle worth $1K, but a puzzle that is unsolvable because of mistakes in the design just need to be recalled and remade.
You handled yourself better than I ever would have. I would have wanted my money back; the puzzle was completely unsolvable and quite flimsy. However, you were correct in as much as the puzzle was a good "blueprint" to follow to manufacture a piece made of more appropriate materials. Happy birthday! 🍻
I agree. For a $20 puzzle, it is what it is. But for $1k I expect it to be extremely high quality. I mean, the damn thing was so shoddy that it was literally unsolvable. I hate how everybody has to be so PC. Chris should’ve said at the end that it was a piece of crap because it was
I agree, and honestly, as the manufacturer, I probably would have OFFERED a refund after seeing this. I just don't really get how you could make this, NOT quality check it and make sure it's easily solvable before sending it out, and then charge that much for it.
The best ideas in the world aren't worth much without quality execution. I would be really disappointed if I paid for a puzzle that then broke down on me like that. Kudos for keeping your cool and giving the maker credit for his good ideas. I'd love to see a revisit if this one if the manufacturer does a quality rework.
That looked intense. I agree id love to see that puzzle in wood. Metal would be cool too. Even on your birthday your putting out amazingly frustrating content. We love what you do.
Damn respect for being still so nice, polite and just positively supportive to the creator after how much time was wasted and obstacles met towards trying to solve this on your birthday. Hey good job making the video and hopefully the rest of your bday wasn’t as difficult. Best wishes and keep up the good work with continuous entertaining content you keep putting out.
I have to say, if I paid $1000 for a puzzle, and through the normal process of solving it, three pieces broke, and there were two manufacturing mistakes that made the puzzle unsolvable, I would be absolutely ripshit.
Said "I am absolutely beat" at precisely 2:29:29.29 on the smartphone timer. Be honest, Chris. Did you just turn 29, a.k.a. the legal age for solving maddening puzzles in Canada. Happy birthday!
Happy birthday Chris! Sorry you had a rough time with the puzzle and the manufacturing having messed it up kinda hurts the puzzle itself as well as the experience but still hope you enjoyed the rest of your day!
Love your videos. I do a lot of 3d printed items including running my own etsy shop. As a 3d printed product, I had some issues with it. The puzzle was obviously printed in PLA. For something with thin struts like that which are intended to be manipulated, ABS should be the material of choice. Also, I noticed on the back piece that broke off that the infill was rather low. There was also some pretty bad ghosting nearing the symbols and the surface quality was pretty poor leading me to think his printers need to be further tuned. As you said at the end, as prototype it works, but as a finished product I take issues from the 3d printed side of things particularly because it gives 3d printed objects a bad name.
happy bday buddy!! I'm here for the jazz music and awesome puzzles! 3d prints art the strongestst..its totally understandable...still a kick ass puzzle..I love it!!!
Wish you many many happy returns of the day brother, I just really like the way u put out ur content.I know a ton of hard work goes behind doing that.Tq for always keeping us entertained with ur work. I hope u reach 10M subs soon u deserve it🤘✌️.
As someone who builds models. You don't use a tiny bit of glue if you want the thing to stick together. Certain glues cause plastic to melt together. So use a lot to stick as much as you can.
That intro was outta this world! That comment, “…a fresh start, alls it would take is another bullet…” my gosh that was so chilling. The intent without saying it, always love that.
First off, Happy Birthday!!! This puzzle suffers from bad manufacturing, I'm going to say it was a piss poor decision to make it 3D printed. Just overall the puzzle was not good simply because of how it was made. I can't make any judgement on the puzzle itself because it was ruined by poor execution, even if the concept wasn't bad.
I wouldn't say the decision was poor to make it 3d printed. However, it does suffer from bad manufacturing. There are several issues I noted seeing the with the puzzle that I would do differently if I were printing it.
@@Punmaster9001 I run my own shop selling 3d prints and I would be embarrassed to sell that puzzle. You can print items that have fairly tight tolerances. This puzzle was obviously with PLA. Abs would have been a much better material to print with as it is a much less brittle material. On one of the broken pieces, you can see there is very little infill. This should have been increased particularly for the thin parts. Finally, there is bad ghosting around the numerals and symbols and the surface finish is extremely poor. Both point to the manufacture's printer not being properly tuned.
Nah, I'd need a refund! For $1,000 the quality, not just the challenge, needs to be worth the price tag. Also, for that price, I need you to test each one you produce because misalignment/printing issues should not be an issue, at all.
for $1000 I'd be disappointed too. I get that you're paying for the idea and the design but for 1k they could've splurged for some decent materials. 3D printing is dirt cheap, it tends to look kinda bad with all the obvious layers, and it's super fragile. Definitely not the best suited material to something youre gonna be regularly manipulating in weird ways. So far the only 3D printed puzzle/object I've seen that I thought actually looked better than what you could do in normal plastic or metal was that satin grey and orange Angel Box puzzle you did not too long ago, that thing was beautiful. Hopefully this guy sends you a fixed version!
Happy birthday! I’m in at 9:00, and to answer your question what I’d be trying: the suitcase seems it could fit the back compartment. Pressing it into the magnets might open the suitcase. (Let’s see how well this will age…)
Happy Birthday Chris!!! I’m not sure I would have paid $1000 for any plastic puzzle. You’ve had some absolutely beautiful handcrafted wooden puzzles that I would happily pay more than $1000, but I wouldn’t even put that on my shelf. 🤷🏼♀️
It's cool looking before it broke, but in all honesty before selling it, the numbers in the holes should have been reprinted to match the code, I think that would have been easy to fix, and the front and rear beefed up with better glue or thicker parts
I don’t know how late im for wishing you happy birthday, im gonna blame it on the time zone. Im from saudi arabia and love you videos and as a film maker myself, ik how hard the intros are, if hiring a pro videographer for intro like these can be costly but you making those intros taking time out of your tight schedule really shows dedication that you dont solve these puzzles for views but you love your work and fans. Happy birthday chris
Happy Birthday Chris! Very interesting puzzle. Kind of a bummer that it broke and there was some issues with the numbers not lining up. But was still super cool. Hope you have a great day!
Happy Birthday Chris🥳🥳🥳, Really glad to see you got and did this puzzle. I had sent you a message on one of your social medias a while back about it. It's so good to see it finally on your channel. If you end up figuring out that final cryptex, would love to see the result in the future😁
First off, happy birthday Chris! Second....your intros are just pure fire. You put so much effort, time, energy and passion into your intros. Thank you, they are much appreciated by me at the very least and they are part of the reason I keep coming back to your videos. Your production value is just top notch! Cheers mate!
Just found out that I have the same birthday as Chris Ramsay! As for the puzzle, this really did feel like a prototype that you shouldn't charge that much for. And if they knew this one was going to someone making popular puzzle videos, they really should have double checked that everything was in order.
Just wanted to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I know we don't know eachother but ever since I have discovered your channel, I am not sure why but it helped me rediscover my creative side which in turn has helped me beat my addiction. So long story short you are the indirect cause of my sobriety. Thank you for all your hard work and time you dedicate to us and again I hope you have a great Birthday, you deserve it. HOT DANG! Your indirect friend Shawn Collins.
Happy birthday Chris! Dope intro as usual!!! Liked the puzzle definitely would like to see it in metal or wood for quality and because it’s so cool aesthetically
HBDay Chris! That was quite the puzzle & nice solve. To bad that it wasn't built well and had so many flaws. Definitely not worth the money but still an interesting concept and puzzle design! 👍👍🎂🎂👏👏
33:30 The part that broke in the rear was printed in poor orientation. It broke off from the pring layer which is the weakest possible part of any 3D printed item. The print orientation for that part should have been so that the layer goes along the beam of the part.
If my hubby was still alive, he would have loved this one as he had many G-scale trains. And he may have been tempted to build puzzles because he was a tool and die machinist
I agree this needs to be built correctly with metal. The 3d print was a lot of work but it had to to many design flaws and broke too easily. This would be a great puzzle
You know what? I love the little story intros you makd... It makes the puzzles more interesting in a way... Just my opinion... And a very happy (very) belated birthday!! 🎁 Take care and be safe, always!
i think i have the last thing figured out, its big triangle with little triangle pointing up corkscrew (tornado looking thing) 4 lines that point up 2 triangles opposite each other big triangle with little triangle pointing down pyramid of lines and finally the symbol on the toolbox reason for the solution, the numbers on the other piece of the toolbox (where the flashlight was) are indicating which symbol goes first when reading from left to right on the side of the train. the symbol to the right of the 001 is the first symbol, the one to the right of 010 is the 2nd, etc.
8:48 in, right now, I would consider the W block where the section says 110W101W000, so from your sheet, W ->NNE, so turn the wheel so that the like covered outer section spans from N to NE on W train section. Then for S, make sure the wheel section spans W to SW, then do the rest and it will probably unlock something. I also think the binary is probably what unlocks the cryptex exhaust thing.
$1000 for something that breaks that easily and has manufacturing mistakes preventing the puzzle from being solved properly... yup, sounds about right.
Your intros are always so amazing and the time you guys put into them shows every time. Happy Birthday also. For the final tumbler it looked like it had 7 places. The black panel you took off that had the 1s and 0s to get the first combo also looks like the numbers match those that are along the sides of the train that has the symbols beside them. Maybe those numbers on the panel show you the order of the symbols coinciding with the mentioned ones on the train? Always a pleasure watching your videos. Keep up the amazing work.
The fact that the parts weren't printed at 100% infill is infuriating. If you're gonna sell a 3D printed product that has moving parts that need to last, you must print at 100% infill! Especially for the price of this puzzle.
For a 3D printed puzzle that's so easily and unintentionally breakable, the engineering did not look worth $1000 per unit. $500 a unit maaaaaybe, if even that much.
"There goes the other spring".. floored me :D .. What we're seeing, is the beginning of really good 3D printing. We're not quite there yet, but it's getting there.
I love your videos! I've been watching them for years now, and I think they're so much fun. Side note: As a person from the US, I never get used to hearing Canadians speak; You guys sound almost the same as us down here, but the "OU" sound surprises me every time. Anyway, you're awesome, thanks for sharing your solving process with us!
@@johngavlick6479 That's one option, A turdy wood or possibly even thicker plastic could also work. I would have also painted some of the harder-to-read clues to make them more legible.
this thing looks pretty good but I'm on the bandwagon that "it's hard but not good" of all of the puzzles I"ve seen you do, most of them at least make sense, this one has so much randomness to it and the terrible QC for manufacturing at $1000 is just...a very bad look for the creator.
Definitely needs higher quality parts and the combination needs to be fixed, but it has a lot of promise. I like cyphers, but I'd be tilted too if I spent 2 hours and another super complex looking combination object pops out. Like how many more complex combinations does one need to solve to have a fun puzzle. 🤷♂️. I would have preferred a transition from code to some other form of problem to solve. Just my opinion.
I thought it would be pretty obvious that the numbers were binary but maybe that's just me, for a $1000 this thing should not be breaking that easily. 3D printing is still too brittle for this sort of puzzle with moving small parts. Happy Birthday Chris. Love the videos.
3d printing is not necessarily brittle. The creator of this puzzle obviously used PLA to print the puzzle. PLA is a brittle plastic. If I were printing this puzzle on one of my printers I would have done it out of ABS instead. ABS tends to flex without snapping unless you really torque it.
Too many manufacturing oopsies with this one. Should've been done more carefully and out of metal (even if recycled alloys were used to lower the manufacturing cost) before putting a 1 grand price tag on it. I say put it to the hammer to get the most enjoyment out of it.
Happy birthday, Chris! I'm digging through new intros. The effort and care you put into them shows through for sure. I'm looking forward to more puzzles and to see what you come up with for intros. Take care!
interesting, interesting to see the ways you can make a bad puzzle, dont know if ive ever seen one that isnt great because it just throw way way way to much info at you with no clear steps or place to start or path of progression to follow
It's like a physical version of one of those early text-based computer games where you have to try putting everything together, with no rhyme or reason, until something works.
happy birthday $1000 for a puzzle that breaks on its first use, and then cant be solved because of a manufactoring issue... yea that actual worth is less than the printed material. $5 at most.
My thought too. He didn't quite solve it. Don't blame him for taking a break, but I was expecting him to come back and show what the end of the puzzle was.
I hope you got your $$$ back. The fact you had to call him multiple times AND you discover that it's manufactured incorrectly AND you could not have solved it due to a manufacturing error... that's really not good.
OK, a few things here. #1. This is maybe a 100 dollar puzzle on a day it didn't break. #2. You didn't "solve" the puzzle because you didn't get the gold. You can't hit the easy button if you didn't solve it completely. #3. I apologize in advance for this, but your hands remind me of potatoes with sausages stapled to them. The fact you solve even half of your puzzles is a magic trick in itself! That being said, I love your videos and the way your mind works. Subscribed for 3 years and looking forward to more!
Man, first of all, happy birthday. I'm really disappointed about the quality, and sorry for you to have spent all that money for that piece of... Well, you know. Definitely unacceptable quality. For a thousand bucks, the creator could have bought a resin printer, just by selling one. The quality would be much better. And the fit and finish. Even if the idea was great, the product is total junk in my opinion.
Happy birthday! Thanx for the intros they are so fun to watch. Sitting here being so confuse with the puzzle. Just from watching all of this to get to the final cypher made me want to give up. Not my fave puzzle to watch but I felt your energy in this video pass on to me. Lol. Take care
You need the magnifying glasses with the head lamp that surgeons use. It would help with seeing those tiny details. Plus, I can just see you wearing them for the hell of it 🤣
Happy birthday Chris, Bonne fête ! Love having a content creator who I can relate too and who lives in the same province as me. Hope you enjoyed your day and keep being awesome😁
Happy Birthday to a brother from another mother....or at least an awesome guy on RUclips. May you get all the good and none of the bad for the next 124 years. Why 124? 125 is just ridiculous.

Happy birthday! I’m in at 9:00, and to answer your question what I’d be trying: the suitcase seems it could fit the back compartment. Pressing it into the magnets might open the suitcase. (Let’s see how well this will age…)
Happy Birthday Chris!!! I’m not sure I would have paid $1000 for any plastic puzzle. You’ve had some absolutely beautiful handcrafted wooden puzzles that I would happily pay more than $1000, but I wouldn’t even put that on my shelf. 🤷🏼♀️
It's cool looking before it broke, but in all honesty before selling it, the numbers in the holes should have been reprinted to match the code, I think that would have been easy to fix, and the front and rear beefed up with better glue or thicker parts
I don’t know how late im for wishing you happy birthday, im gonna blame it on the time zone. Im from saudi arabia and love you videos and as a film maker myself, ik how hard the intros are, if hiring a pro videographer for intro like these can be costly but you making those intros taking time out of your tight schedule really shows dedication that you dont solve these puzzles for views but you love your work and fans. Happy birthday chris
Happy Birthday Chris! Very interesting puzzle. Kind of a bummer that it broke and there was some issues with the numbers not lining up. But was still super cool. Hope you have a great day!
Intro:🔥🔥🔥
Puzzle: 🗑️🗑️🗑️
Great concept. It'd be way cooler with better materials!
Happy Birthday Chris🥳🥳🥳, Really glad to see you got and did this puzzle. I had sent you a message on one of your social medias a while back about it. It's so good to see it finally on your channel. If you end up figuring out that final cryptex, would love to see the result in the future😁
First off, happy birthday Chris! Second....your intros are just pure fire. You put so much effort, time, energy and passion into your intros. Thank you, they are much appreciated by me at the very least and they are part of the reason I keep coming back to your videos. Your production value is just top notch! Cheers mate!
Definitely one of my favorite intros probably the best in my opinion
Can't believe that $1000 puzzle is broken that easy. It have to be more firm. They have to mention "Fragile".
Just found out that I have the same birthday as Chris Ramsay! As for the puzzle, this really did feel like a prototype that you shouldn't charge that much for. And if they knew this one was going to someone making popular puzzle videos, they really should have double checked that everything was in order.
At 15:00 "there goes the other spring..." I started cracking up.
Just wanted to wish you a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I know we don't know eachother but ever since I have discovered your channel, I am not sure why but it helped me rediscover my creative side which in turn has helped me beat my addiction. So long story short you are the indirect cause of my sobriety. Thank you for all your hard work and time you dedicate to us and again I hope you have a great Birthday, you deserve it.
HOT DANG! Your indirect friend Shawn Collins.
Happy birthday Chris!
Dope intro as usual!!! Liked the puzzle definitely would like to see it in metal or wood for quality and because it’s so cool aesthetically
HBDay Chris! That was quite the puzzle & nice solve. To bad that it wasn't built well and had so many flaws. Definitely not worth the money but still an interesting concept and puzzle design! 👍👍🎂🎂👏👏
happy birthday bro
you've entertained us for years now
you've amassed a huge following
keep it up
33:30 The part that broke in the rear was printed in poor orientation. It broke off from the pring layer which is the weakest possible part of any 3D printed item. The print orientation for that part should have been so that the layer goes along the beam of the part.
If my hubby was still alive, he would have loved this one as he had many G-scale trains. And he may have been tempted to build puzzles because he was a tool and die machinist
I agree this needs to be built correctly with metal. The 3d print was a lot of work but it had to to many design flaws and broke too easily. This would be a great puzzle
You know what? I love the little story intros you makd... It makes the puzzles more interesting in a way... Just my opinion... And a very happy (very) belated birthday!! 🎁
Take care and be safe, always!
i think i have the last thing figured out, its
big triangle with little triangle pointing up
corkscrew (tornado looking thing)
4 lines that point up
2 triangles opposite each other
big triangle with little triangle pointing down
pyramid of lines
and finally the symbol on the toolbox
reason for the solution, the numbers on the other piece of the toolbox (where the flashlight was) are indicating which symbol goes first when reading from left to right on the side of the train. the symbol to the right of the 001 is the first symbol, the one to the right of 010 is the 2nd, etc.
8:48 in, right now, I would consider the W block where the section says 110W101W000, so from your sheet, W ->NNE, so turn the wheel so that the like covered outer section spans from N to NE on W train section. Then for S, make sure the wheel section spans W to SW, then do the rest and it will probably unlock something. I also think the binary is probably what unlocks the cryptex exhaust thing.
$1000 for something that breaks that easily and has manufacturing mistakes preventing the puzzle from being solved properly... yup, sounds about right.
Your intros are always so amazing and the time you guys put into them shows every time. Happy Birthday also. For the final tumbler it looked like it had 7 places. The black panel you took off that had the 1s and 0s to get the first combo also looks like the numbers match those that are along the sides of the train that has the symbols beside them. Maybe those numbers on the panel show you the order of the symbols coinciding with the mentioned ones on the train? Always a pleasure watching your videos. Keep up the amazing work.
There needs to be a 9 3/4 train puzzle made for Chris and happy B-day, Chris. Hope it's a good one!
The fact that the parts weren't printed at 100% infill is infuriating. If you're gonna sell a 3D printed product that has moving parts that need to last, you must print at 100% infill! Especially for the price of this puzzle.
For a 3D printed puzzle that's so easily and unintentionally breakable, the engineering did not look worth $1000 per unit. $500 a unit maaaaaybe, if even that much.
"There goes the other spring".. floored me :D .. What we're seeing, is the beginning of really good 3D printing. We're not quite there yet, but it's getting there.
1000 dollars + design flaws that cause it to break I think he owes you a 1000 dollar birthday present
Gotta say!! Your intros is freaking amazing so much time and filming and so on never stop :)
Hardest puzzle ever is made out of thin glass and one wrong move everything breaks, also the gears are on wrong, good luck. $20,000
I love your videos! I've been watching them for years now, and I think they're so much fun. Side note: As a person from the US, I never get used to hearing Canadians speak; You guys sound almost the same as us down here, but the "OU" sound surprises me every time. Anyway, you're awesome, thanks for sharing your solving process with us!
It would be great if this could be remade with stronger materials and higher part tolerances.
Like metal
yeah i think this should made with steel. yes it will be expensive but at least you can enjoy it without worrying about it
@@johngavlick6479 That's one option, A turdy wood or possibly even thicker plastic could also work. I would have also painted some of the harder-to-read clues to make them more legible.
Happy Birthday! 🥳🧁🪄🃏🎂
Save a horse! Ride a cow…uh… train! 🤠🚂
this thing looks pretty good but I'm on the bandwagon that "it's hard but not good" of all of the puzzles I"ve seen you do, most of them at least make sense, this one has so much randomness to it and the terrible QC for manufacturing at $1000 is just...a very bad look for the creator.
Now This is 3D printing puzzles I love! I’ve been designing my own
Definitely needs higher quality parts and the combination needs to be fixed, but it has a lot of promise. I like cyphers, but I'd be tilted too if I spent 2 hours and another super complex looking combination object pops out. Like how many more complex combinations does one need to solve to have a fun puzzle. 🤷♂️. I would have preferred a transition from code to some other form of problem to solve. Just my opinion.
First off happy birthday bro and second that intro was friggin sick.... love your content keep it up man...
I never comment on videos, but damn! that was a badly made puzzle, Happy Birthday Chris
You could never make a puzzle that could come close to this.
@@hondaklattthey probably mean the manufacturing. If a puzzle isnt made correctly then how is someone suppose to solve it. 🤷🏽♀️
Don't be sorry for a shoddy puzzle. Happy birthday man
I thought it would be pretty obvious that the numbers were binary but maybe that's just me, for a $1000 this thing should not be breaking that easily. 3D printing is still too brittle for this sort of puzzle with moving small parts. Happy Birthday Chris. Love the videos.
3d printing is not necessarily brittle. The creator of this puzzle obviously used PLA to print the puzzle. PLA is a brittle plastic. If I were printing this puzzle on one of my printers I would have done it out of ABS instead. ABS tends to flex without snapping unless you really torque it.
I’ve been here since the lotus puzzle and quite frankly you Chris have amazed me with work ethic and quality you have never let down thank you
Too many manufacturing oopsies with this one. Should've been done more carefully and out of metal (even if recycled alloys were used to lower the manufacturing cost) before putting a 1 grand price tag on it.
I say put it to the hammer to get the most enjoyment out of it.
happy birthday. keep up the great work!
I wonder what glue they used. It doesn’t seem like a weld bond
21:59 My guess...You have the note with S -> XXX. have all each wheel to the location is sais. So the Wheel with An S point that wheel to WWS
1000 for that? The creator must be huffing the printer fumes. The cost of the printing material is a fraction of that. Absolute joke
Happy birthday, Chris! I'm digging through new intros. The effort and care you put into them shows through for sure. I'm looking forward to more puzzles and to see what you come up with for intros. Take care!
interesting, interesting to see the ways you can make a bad puzzle, dont know if ive ever seen one that isnt great because it just throw way way way to much info at you with no clear steps or place to start or path of progression to follow
It's like a physical version of one of those early text-based computer games where you have to try putting everything together, with no rhyme or reason, until something works.
i like how the "cyphers" was just binary! Happy Birthday!
happy birthday
$1000 for a puzzle that breaks on its first use, and then cant be solved because of a manufactoring issue... yea that actual worth is less than the printed material. $5 at most.
Well it’s spring 😉Love this puzzle ❣️🤍🥰
Wait… you solved it? Did I miss something? No part 2 with the final cypher?
My thought too. He didn't quite solve it. Don't blame him for taking a break, but I was expecting him to come back and show what the end of the puzzle was.
Happy Birthday to you, again Chris😉😊 The Intro are so dope and cool. And when you are telling the
stories about the puzzle. So cool
I think the puzzle is way too expensive to be breaking like this and the combos not lining up properly
I swear, the production value that goes into your intros and how well you budget manage for them, id love to see something feature length Fram y'all
How he solves these puzzles are always gonna be a mystery 💀
Happy Birthday! Really cool one you choosen for this occasion. 👌
I hope you got your $$$ back. The fact you had to call him multiple times AND you discover that it's manufactured incorrectly AND you could not have solved it due to a manufacturing error... that's really not good.
OK, a few things here. #1. This is maybe a 100 dollar puzzle on a day it didn't break. #2. You didn't "solve" the puzzle because you didn't get the gold. You can't hit the easy button if you didn't solve it completely. #3. I apologize in advance for this, but your hands remind me of potatoes with sausages stapled to them. The fact you solve even half of your puzzles is a magic trick in itself! That being said, I love your videos and the way your mind works. Subscribed for 3 years and looking forward to more!
Man, first of all, happy birthday. I'm really disappointed about the quality, and sorry for you to have spent all that money for that piece of... Well, you know. Definitely unacceptable quality. For a thousand bucks, the creator could have bought a resin printer, just by selling one. The quality would be much better. And the fit and finish. Even if the idea was great, the product is total junk in my opinion.
I absolutely LOVE the intros to your puzzle vids! The story behind some of them can really suck you in!
Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Happy birthday! Thanx for the intros they are so fun to watch. Sitting here being so confuse with the puzzle. Just from watching all of this to get to the final cypher made me want to give up. Not my fave puzzle to watch but I felt your energy in this video pass on to me. Lol. Take care
You need the magnifying glasses with the head lamp that surgeons use. It would help with seeing those tiny details. Plus, I can just see you wearing them for the hell of it 🤣
Intense!! Happy G day bro 🥳
Happy birthday Chris, Bonne fête ! Love having a content creator who I can relate too and who lives in the same province as me. Hope you enjoyed your day and keep being awesome😁
Happy Birthday to a brother from another mother....or at least an awesome guy on RUclips. May you get all the good and none of the bad for the next 124 years. Why 124? 125 is just ridiculous.
Your intros are good enough to have their own channels. Also happy birthday keep it up 👍
