Crazy Crescents is a mathematical art toy. Five colorful threaded crescent-shaped pieces are nested together inside a red ring, and inside each other. Each screw meshes with each of the other screws, as the screw angle is identical for all screws. The object of the toy is to screw it together, and make nice shapes.
The six colorful pieces took 5½ hours to 3D print on a Dutchy 3D printer. 64 meter of 1.75-mm PLA filament was used to print it. The puzzle weights 64 grams.
