Description	Described as a “Chinese Magic Puzzle Toy” this puzzle of nine linked rings will always be a Dragon Lock to me.

Notes

• My grandparents had a Dragon Lock and my grandfather made me one, so I mastered this at an early age, and it fascinated me.
• This is nowhere near the same quality but it is a couple of rings longer - which if you know how it works, you’ll understand how much that changes things; and it is accessible to anyone with a 3D printer.
• It is fun, but it does not have a lot of weight to it, and trust me when I say if you want to go quickly, you want something with a bit or weight that you can slide back and forth a bit more roughly than you can with this model.
• Ultimately I would like to see a version that more closely resembles the Dragon Lock product in terms of the minor diameter of the rings, sturdier struts, a big base to hold on to, and a heavier locking bar.
• In fact I am not sure if the handle on the locking bar helps or hinders.
