We know that da Vinci used the inspired Vitruve proportions reporting and Fibonacci. In seeking to draw more fidèment possible Mazzocchio Leonardo, I sized octagonal section number of the Golden Fibonacci spiral from the outer diameter.

Feuillet 710 r du Codex Atlanticus

I propose to make a puzzle inspired this drawing of Leonardo. I find it interesting that this piece could be printed in one block or in parts to nest in 3D, with a maximum of 512 elements.

In the sheet 710 r of the Codex Atlanticus Leonardo draws a Mazzocchio, but what is really his intent? Leonardo goes well beyond the simple (and actually complex) representation of the object. His intention is to create a real Mazzocchio, wax or lead. The design of Mazzocchio is in a central perspective view designed impeccably, with care and with a detail far superior to that of his predecessors and contemporaries. It 'clear that Leonardo was completely master of perspective technique and how he knew, probably better than anyone else, this practice. The design of the Leonardo Mazzocchio is perfect because rich in details absent in the representations of his predecessors; for example if they even grasp the hidden sides. Leonardo fact not only draws the volume and external surfaces, but also the faces and internal edges.
In design it uses a very common trick: draws only half of the solid, for faithfully maintaining the second using the trick of the small holes on the sheet, and avoid wasting time in a symmetrical design that without this approach, it would not be so perfect.
The Mazzocchio is not the only solid complex of interest to Leonardo. The Atlantic Codex is full of other examples. Leonardo was so skilled in this type of representations that the mathematician Luca Pacioli (1445-1517) commissioned the designs of the famous treatise De Divina Proportione (1497).

The printing of identical parts 32, offers the possibility of various assemblies.
