Description

PDF

This is the puzzle where the pieces are all the same shape and can be put together infinite ways. Print the pieces in different colours and let your toddler's creativity shine!

The basic size is 20 mm for the small pieces, and 40 mm for the large pieces. You can combine the small and large pieces together for a fun pattern. They are all 3 mm thick.

Printing instructions and tips

  • Print as-oriented in the .stl file
  • The edge and corner pieces will need to be flipped/rotated in some cases. If a particular finish is important (e.g., the smooth plate look vs the top iron look) you might want to flip them in the slicer.
  • The allowances work perfectly with my Mk3S+ and 0.4mm nozzle. If you're having trouble, let me know, and I can make a looser or tighter fit for you.

Add-on

  • If you want a convenient place to store these, try modding your old peanut butter container with my Coin Bank Lid. I didn't design it for the puzzle pieces, but they certainly fit. Toddler QA tested and everything.

Safety note

  • Supervise your children at all times
  • The small pieces are choking hazards for children under 3 years old

Bonus

  • Take a look at the second picture (blue and orange), and then look at it up close. Wicked optical illusion. It has the same effect in real life as in the photograph. Try it on your friends.
