Versatile Part and Puzzle Creation
Designed and produced according to your needs
The amount of projects that can benefit from 3D printing is incredible, ranging from individual parts of larger puzzles to entire assemblies. Using modern CAD software combined with ever-improving printing technologies, you can have many of your favorite components and puzzles created in this fashion, producing parts you couldn’t possibly make by hand!
I have created many parts based on dimensioned diagrams as well as simple descriptions for simpler parts. I can also help you in the design process and get everything specced out if you need design collaboration. There are various print option choices, from different color parts to different material types: carbon fiber, clear, metallic-like, glow-in-the-dark, speckled, and silk, to name a few! Multi-color assemblies are often obtained by printing the different colors separately and then gluing together. Parts can even contain internal details or features (such as adding magnets, lights, etc.) by inserting these items in the middle of the printing process before the part is complete!
Whether you’re looking for a simple fixture part, or a full puzzle, be sure to shoot me a message and we’ll see what will best suit your needs, structurally and aesthetically. The precision of 3D printing lends itself well both to carefully-orchestrated puzzles with moving parts, to professional looking user-facing facets!

Computer-Aided Design
Precise and Effective Digital Tools
I have extensive experience in CAD design, which means I can help you from the conception of the part or puzzle you want, to its digital design, all the way through to its creation. You can see what the part or puzzle looks like before anything is made, as well as animations for moving assemblies! This enables careful dimensioning of precise parts, confirmation of proper functionality, and demonstration before printing. Different components can be printed with different materials or colors, and settings can vary accordingly for strength or aesthetic appearance. These CAD files can then be saved as parts for usage in any printer you want, even through other services if you need an exotic material or coloring! I’ll help you get exactly what you need in a way that matches your design specs and accomplishes what you need. There’s no limit to the puzzle possibilities with technology this useful.
Fused Deposition Modeling
Cost-Effective, Strong and Versatile Prints
FDM printing extrudes melted plastic through a nozzle onto a build plate layer by layer, rising vertically with each one, until a final product is produced. Because of the various printing options in the slicer (the software that takes a part file and prepares it for printing), different infill percentages (how filled in the design is) and patterns (hexagons, triangles, lines) can be used to optimize strength where needed while also being cost-efficient and easily printable. I know the software well and can produce many different types of parts or puzzles using this great technology. I can also use various filament colors and types to get that perfect look. Auxiliary internal parts, such as magnets, can even be inserted inside in the middle of a print! If you need a different technology, such as resin printers etc., let me know! There are tons of options for utilizing these alternatives as well.
