Custom 3D printed puzzles — coming soon

We are building a 3D puzzle maker into DesignerX: upload a model and it is cut into stacking pieces that thread onto poles in a base, keeping the model’s colours. It is not open to everyone yet — create a free account and try the tools that are open today.

What is coming

Any model

STL, OBJ or 3MF — scaled to the height you choose and turned to stand the right way.

Keyed layers

Straight vertical cuts make columns; wavy cuts between layers mean each piece only fits one way.

Poles and a base

A pole up the middle of every column, hidden 2 mm inside the top piece, plugs into the base.

Colours kept

Separate coloured shapes in a 3MF stay coloured in every piece — or choose rainbow or two-tone pieces.

Ready to print

Each piece lies on a flat cut face, poles print lying down with a flat side, and tiny or thin bits are joined to a neighbour.
