Screwballs Too

The object is the screw the six identical pins into the four balls, which are all different, and form a tetrahedron.The set of pieces took 11 hours to 3D print on a Dutchy 3D printer. 24 meter of 1.75-mm wood-filled PLA filament was used to print it: birch, oak, mahogany, green and black wood. The puzzle weights 105 gram.
