UPDATED 4/14/22: Released puzzlecad 2.3. See the Puzzlecad Updates page for more details.

Overview

Puzzlecad is an OpenSCAD library for quickly generating models of interlocking puzzle designs. It allows for burr puzzle pieces to be specified in shorthand such as:

burr_piece([\"x..|xxx|x.x\", \"...|...|x..\"]);

This enables complex puzzle pieces to be designed and generated with a minimum of independent CAD modeling.

There are parameters to control size, beveling, and insets, and a \"snap joint\" mechanism for printing complex overhanging puzzle pieces without relying on supports.

For an overview of puzzlecad and what it can do, see:

For some examples of things you can print with puzzlecad:
