Welcome to this split illusion! You will be able to split a sheet of paper (it's included as print object) into three distinct parts! But than you move the middle part back and just pull one piece of paper out of the box - it must be magic!

In most case it's a golden rule to not repeat a magic trick. However, in this case, you can just insert the sheet of paper and split it up again!

Usage

To execute the magic trick, I recommend starting with the "paper" strip already inserted into the case (middle part is on the left). Then move the middle part fast to the right, to create the illusion you have just split up the blue into three squares. Move the middle part fast back to the left and push the paper to the top out of the case. Your audience will not believe that it is just one piece of blue paper!

Printing

The print does NOT require an AMS. Just make sure that you are printing all three parts of the case (print plate 1) in the same color and also all three "paper" parts (print plate 2) in the same color (but of course different to the case's color!). It's all set up in the print profile, ready to print, of course.

You can replace the printed paper (print plate 2) with a real paper of course. However, the printed version is more durable and stable.

Assembly

For the assembly instructions I have printed the parts in different colors. Of course, your case is printed in a single color!

First, clip the square "paper" pieces (blue) into the bottom of the case (purple). When you press the last corner down, it should hold itself. However, you can use a drop of glue to fix it finally.

Second, place the middle part of the case (brown) on top of the bottom (purple).

Then, connect the top of the case (green) with the bottom (purple). Ensure that all connection pins fit into each other and that the middle (brown) is still moveable to the left and right. Can you glue the top (green) and the bottom (purple) together, however, make sure that the middle (brown) does not touch the glue.

Finally insert the large blue paper from the top into the case. Please keep in mind, that this only works if the middle part (brown) is pushed to the left.

That's it! For testing, just move the middle part (brown) from left to right. If you stop in the middle, you should see the small blue squares as well as the long blue "paper".

Have fun and enjoy impressing your audience with this illusion!

Tested successfully with PLA, no support required. For the middle part brim is recommended.

The colors I used:

• for the box: Bambu Lab PLA Basic Black 10101
• for the paper: Bambu Lab PLA Basic Cyan 10603
