Quark puzzle

Abstract

Quark puzzle is a novel approach to visualizing the color symmetries of quarks with a set of 3D printable pieces. Each piece is labelled with a quark type, electric charge and colour charge, and has joints that allow it to connect to other quark pieces. These can be used to discover the rules of the strong interaction and colour charge, or to build your own models of particle systems.
