Geapple Puzzle
A striking mechanical packing puzzle with a beautiful metallic look.
At first glance, Geapple seems simple: stack 10 balls into a tetrahedral pyramid. In reality, it is far more challenging. Each ball contains carefully placed divots, and only the right arrangement allows them to nest together properly. What looks like a straightforward balancing task quickly turns into a clever spatial challenge.
The puzzle comes with a hexagonal stand with circular cutouts, which helps form the base for the final tetrahedral shape. Printed in silver PLA, this version captures the appearance of the original metal puzzle while keeping it practical and accessible.
Geapple is available in two versions. Both use 40 mm diameter balls printed in halves and glued together. The heavy version contains a 25 mm steel ball hidden inside each hollow sphere, giving the puzzle a satisfying weight and a more premium feel. The light version uses solid printed balls with regular infill, making it easier to handle while preserving the same clever challenge.
This is a wonderful puzzle for collectors who enjoy elegant design, unusual geometry, and a satisfying hands-on solving experience.
