Moon Surface Jigsaw Puzzle | 91 pieces

Update: added a snap on cover as a print profile

Embark on a lunar mission right from your desk! This unique, fully 3D printable 91 piece puzzle features a highly detailed, textured surface that brings the craters and topography of the moon to life. It is not just a jigsaw puzzle; it is a tactile, topographical model of the lunar landscape where the challenge lies in the unique shapes and the intricate details of the craters.

To make assembling and displaying your masterpiece even better, a custom frame is included with this model.

Print Profiles Included

Both print profiles are neatly organized across two build plates. Plate 1 contains the puzzle pieces, and Plate 2 contains the frame.

• 0.12mm Layer Height (High Detail): Highly recommended for the best results. This profile beautifully captures the finest topographical lines, ridges, and the subtle depths of the craters for a stunningly realistic finish.
• 0.16mm Layer Height (Balanced Speed): Optimized for a faster print time while still maintaining a great balance of surface detail. Perfect if you want to get the puzzle off the build plate and start playing sooner.
• A1 Mini versions: Pieces pread out to make them fit on the plate, does not include frame because it does not fit the bed size
• Snap on Cover: A snap on cover that fits perfectly on the puzzle + frame and keeps everything together. The snap on cover has three text options. 

Printing Recommendations

• Clean Print Bed (Crucial): It is highly important to start with a perfectly clean print bed. This ensures the first layer of all the individual puzzle pieces adheres perfectly and prevents any warping or shifting during the print.
• Material: Standard PLA or Matte PLA works wonderfully.
• Colors: For the best and most authentic lunar aesthetic, I highly recommend using PLA Matte Ash Gray, PLA Matte Ivory White, or PLA Basic Gray for the puzzle pieces (Plate 1). For the frame (Plate 2), a contrasting color like black works perfectly to make the moon pop!
• Supports: 100% support-free. All pieces and the frame are designed to print flat on the build plate.
• Infill: 10-15% is sufficient for a sturdy feel without wasting filament.

Important Note for First Use: Due to the tight tolerances required for a satisfying, seamless fit, taking the puzzle pieces apart for the very first time right off the build plate might be a bit difficult. Don't worry—they will loosen up just the right amount after the first separation, making subsequent puzzling a smooth and enjoyable experience!
