Have you ever wanted to make your own Jigsaw puzzle? Maybe with cool shapes like those wood puzzles you can buy online? Also it would be nice if you could put your own image on it. Well now you can!
To make this puzzle here are the things you will need.
Cardstock paper. I really like this dissolvable paper as it makes every thing SOOOOO much easier. But you can still do it with regular card stock. https://www.amazon.com/SmartSolve-IT119206-Water-Soluble-Stock-White/dp/B08GH7XGLM
You need an image for your puzzle. I found mine on ShutterStock. If you have text on your image you will need to reverse the image before you print it. Also you MUST print with your image with LASER printer. Inkjet doesn't work.
A 3d printer with a removable build plate.
White PLA Filament!
A glue stick to glue down your picture onto the build plate.
Clear spray paint
So, first you will find the image you want to have on your puzzle and you will print it on your paper with a LASER printer. A laser printer is a must. Make sure to maximize the margins and make sure to maximize image so it prints all the way to the left, right, top and bottom margins. Also if you have any text you will need to REVERSE the image before printing. If you don't your text will come out backwards. Then glue your page to the build plate with a water soluable glue stick and then put it on the printer.
Import the STL into the printer (or SVG). Arrange the puzzle. If you imported the SVG go into the resize options…
