Arrange the slices one by one next to each other, in order to cover the sheet format you wish to use for the laser cutter. The generated slices will be white, so they won’t be visible. svg file with the chosen name will be saved in the chosen location.
Here a quick guide on how to slice a 3D model to laser cut it as a puzzle. Slic3r is an open source slicing software commonly used for 3D print. Step 2 - How to design a stacked puzzle with Slic3r or SketchupĪs a reference, here are some information on how to create a stacked slice puzzle from a 3D model with other free softwares, namely Slic3r and Sketchup. Set the dowels, choose “cross”: setting two dowels makes the puzzle easier, as the slices will be unable to rotate and their orientation will be defined by the dowels.Slot offset is usually 0.010 for most laser cutters. Set the material thickness to the one you wish to use.In manufacturing settings click on the small gear icon in order to see the advanced options at the bottom of the screen:.Choose the Construction Technique Stacked slices.
Choose the desired sheet format in Manufacturing Settings.Import the 3d model EinsteinBustTongue.stl in Slicer.The file is quite big, it will probably need a powerful computer Just the file “EinsteinBustTongue.stl” is needed. Download the 3D model Einstein bust from Thingiverse.We prepared a smaller and easier to process 3d model.Download an install Slicer for Fusion 360.Step 1 - How to slice the 3d model with Slicer for Fusion 360. Just like is common to solve a jigsaw puzzle, when you start from the corners and/or from a clear area of the image. Kids have to look with attention to 3d model and understand when the model goes from large to narrow and the opposite.Ī suggestion is to start from easy, recognizable parts and then connect the parts together with the remaining slices. Parts of similar dimensions will go together.Īs the slices are regular, there won’t be large differences from one slice to the next one. The numbers and symbols engraved on the pieces should always face up. Ask the participants to build the objectĪs the tutor is provided with the solution of the sliced puzzle, he should place the first pieces in order to encourage and give a clue to kids.Set the vertical dowel with the first layer from the bottom.The pieces are etched with a number, but the solution it’s not sequential! The tutor will be provided of the final solution sequence of random numbers.wi Lasercut pieces are scattered on a table.
The tutor shows a 3D model previously printed or shows it on a screen using a 3D visualizer.
