For a faster way to save all the individual puzzle pieces, right click on the component, click save as .stl and then, from the structure drop down, select 'One File Per Body.'
There is a way to mass save separate stl files: right click on the component, save stl and in the menu , you will see "Structure: one file", change it to one file per body.

alcx112 that's exactly what I was gonna say, saving one by one is just crazy :D. Well done !
Thanks for the tip, till now I used a workaround: Added a 1mm Bottom-Plate to combine alle Bodies into one in Fusion360, imported the STL in Slic3r and removed the Bottom-Plate using "cut" and "split".
Yeah was thinking that there was no way that this program that professionals use to make working models with thousands of parts didn't have an option to save each body individually.
The puzzles turned out spectacular, but what got me was the idea of being able to show geographic features side by side. Imagine the grand canyon, Everest, and the marina trench all framed at the same scale. These could even include a micro Eiffel tower, to the same scale, just to give a sense of their true vastness.
Because they can't do that now? 20 mins to throw up geographically geometrically accurate landmarks and a day to print em Way faster than that even depending on the printer
Great idea! When I clicked on the video, I expected a different kind of 3D-puzzles (like the ones I usually print - twisty puzzles) but still I was amazed of your results. I'm wondering how a Model of a city would look like as a puzzle. With a close-up on all these houses (and potentionally some sights), you'D probably get a nice puzzle as well.
Protip: Though it takes a tethered computer to run, Pronterface is amazing for this kind of job. If you have a failure in a print with a ton of little parts, you can tell it to omit objects from future layers. Just disable the piece, pause the print, secure it or remove it from the bed if you need to, and let it resume. Edit: For real though, I'd love to see that functionality in Octoprint someday.
You could connect the puzzle pieces with a small line at the bottom of the puzzle, then split the puzzle into four quarters and print those. Once it's printed you can cut the pieces apart very quickly. That way you only have to save four bodies.
A city landscape with this technique would be great. I'm studying architecture, and I often make them for my urbanism projects, I wish I had a 3d printer for printing them like this. I loved this video, so inspiring and interesting
i'm not trying to speak negatively about any other 3D printing channels, but your content is consistently better than all the others that just print things off thingiverse saying "look at this thing i made" and begging for high fives. I love the real educational style and application of processes you use. While your video is structured as a step by step tutorial, you seems to make a habit of explaining why you do a thing a certain way and these are the kinds of tips and tricks that lend themselves to a great body of knowledge that can make future creative projects possible for the viewer. Great stuff and keep it up.
Awesome video and a funny coincide. Yesterday I presented 3d printing to my son's 3rd grade class. I setup my printer and let it print while talking to the class about 3d printing. Afterwards I answered questions for them and one of the questions was "could you 3d print a puzzle". I sent a link to your video to the teacher since it was such a great answer to the question. Thank you for all of your great content.
oh my gosh I'm impressed EVERYTIME you post a video, wow what can you not do!!? you're like a magician comin' up with new stuff. This is so incredibly cool to watch!
Having watched the vid properly, rather than on my phone at lunchtime, WoW! Dude, this is epic!! We could 3D print our whole country and send it to friends and family. Then have a get together and build a nation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hootin heck! You've got a entire event right there! Mind you, kansas and it's peers will seem pretty dull. Did I just come up with a good idea there? Aargh! I need a second printer in that case! Otherwise there'll be no time for printing anything else!!
I would highly recommend Affinity Designer, it's a brilliant alternative to Adobe Illustrator. It's a small price to pay but no costly monthly subscription. Worth checking it out. Btw this brilliant 3D puzzles you've created, very unique 👍👌
Custom terrain STL may be easily made online with the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Ceres, Vesta NASA Trek with the built in point & click "Generate 3D Print File" tool. For example, "NASA Moon Trek: Hesiodus crater, Mons Pico, Plato & Tutorial"
quick trick: extrude a rectangle on the bottom and join at 1mm thickness then in the slicer set model position minus 1mm it turns all into one part and then the .stl is one file and you can print it all at once
I imagine combining this with the Palette 2 so as to make colored terrain sections: Blue water for lake areas, green forested areas, white tipped mountains, etc
Really cool!! I‘ve already printed some maps for a friend of mine. Unluckily I don’t know how to work with Fusion 360° that good in order to follow the steps you’ve did there. Illustrator I‘ve never used.
So few years ago I wasn't into 3D stuff and so, I tried to remake Laguna Seca in a sandbox racing videogame. AND YOURE TELLIN ME IT COULD HAVE BEEN JUST THIS EASY?? Ok, you got my attention.
I like how when i first followed this channel i had no idea what you were talking about and i just liked the projects. Now idk how long later im in a graphic design class and i can understand most of the terms you are saying xD. I still love the projects and stuff you do too. I would really love to make a puzzle. Sadly i dont have a 3D printer so for now i just have to stick with paper and cardboard.
You should be able to create the .dxf/"cookiecutter" in any CAD software that has spline and offset tools. I think you can also use Meshmixer to slice the .stl with your cookiecutter file.
Hmm this video gave me some ideas. Thanks for sharing. I have a mini printer so such a print would take longer. Wonder if I could make original designs this way with thinner pieces. Guess its all about spacing things out, maybe keep the pieces numbered. Eager to try something out now but I wanna make some unique puzzle piece shapes by hand as I've recently helped some family with a very uniquely shaped pieces style puzzle and well, that just seems more fun. Maybe a little 3D pop out with a plan to paint it later would work decently enough. Now just to find the best paint for PLA.
Meccarox I don’t know about you but in most city libraries near me they have 3D printers that you can rent out. It might be expensive but it’s a good alternative. Some Barnes and Nobles also do this.
There is a 'mass operation': you export all of them into one STL (by exporting the component or the project as STL) and then you take it into Mesh Mixer and use the separate tool. Mesh Mixer is also the better tool for what you did in the beginning in the Windows 3d thingy. Watch Maker's Muse's videos on Mesh Mixer, he just did some good basic tutorials on those functions
This is really cool and I’m tempted to do one. Do you have an airbrush? Take a single, light, low angle pass from one corner with a light grey or white. It will look like light falling on the terrain and will make it stand out with a hill shade effect. Thanks for the video.
This is awesome. I think I can do most of this with onshape. I'm gonna figure out how to make one for my grandma for her to understand why I got a printer lmao
i wanted to use this in a project i'm working on. is there any way to change the box's form? for me it's an rectangle, and does not fit with what i want. i would prefer a like-sided square.
god i love this, great project to do during these current events going on. shame is doesnt grab city/road data so i could make a scale model of my home town
YOU JUST INVENTED A PUZZLE FOR THE BLIND! AWESOME!
Lucas Hartmann how do I give you many likes so that your comment goes to the top?
Omg you're right
Omg yeah!
Omg u stupid
Why Why stop hating on comments and hate yourself cause you don't care about the blind.
For a faster way to save all the individual puzzle pieces, right click on the component, click save as .stl and then, from the structure drop down, select 'One File Per Body.'
he is prob slapping his fore head right now.
or export it as one stl and in simplify3d use "Mesh -> Seperate connected Surfaces"
you're a lifesaver
Who literally here only watches and doesn't even own a 3d printer, but here for the fun of "knowing" what to do... lol
me
Get one!
I do not have one either
I just like his vids
Me asf

alcx112 that's exactly what I was gonna say, saving one by one is just crazy :D.
Well done !
This needs a pin... I just made a puzzle like this myself (Waiting for it to print!), without knowing about this...
lifesaver

E R woah yeah that would be super cool
that would be extremely hard and expensive, as well as time consuming to make but cool idea nonetheless
Because they can't do that now? 20 mins to throw up geographically geometrically accurate landmarks and a day to print em
Way faster than that even depending on the printer
Omg u should make a puzzle of your face by scanning it and doing the same thing u did with the other puzzles u made!
Yeah!
I really want to see this lol
Someone hook me up with a good 3D scanner :D
Lmao Do it! Now XD
WOW THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!!!!
Great idea! When I clicked on the video, I expected a different kind of 3D-puzzles (like the ones I usually print - twisty puzzles) but still I was amazed of your results. I'm wondering how a Model of a city would look like as a puzzle. With a close-up on all these houses (and potentionally some sights), you'D probably get a nice puzzle as well.
And with colors? How big will the building be

Good hint! Thanks!
This is so incredibly cool!
I am sorry this comment is 4 years old so idel who'll read it. But make something commented on make anything 😭😭
You could connect the puzzle pieces with a small line at the bottom of the puzzle, then split the puzzle into four quarters and print those. Once it's printed you can cut the pieces apart very quickly. That way you only have to save four bodies.
You amaze and then keep amazing us! Thanks for all your effort in making these videos. quite inspiring
Showing how to create and print 3D maps even without the puzzle feature was cool.
A city landscape with this technique would be great. I'm studying architecture, and I often make them for my urbanism projects, I wish I had a 3d printer for printing them like this. I loved this video, so inspiring and interesting

Great stuff and keep it up.
This would be so great for blind people :D
I love your videos so why don’t you just make more videos
Lel, it would be the future
Ahhh I see from your playlist that you are a sinner and clikkie
mars Puzzles for blind people already exist
This is exactly why I absolutely LOVE your channel. Will be doing this asap!
this is the kinda thing i was imagining when i first heard of threeD printing. amazing man.
That was insane. Super unique. We were amazed. Thank you so much. Your so good at what you do!
Awesome video and a funny coincide. Yesterday I presented 3d printing to my son's 3rd grade class. I setup my printer and let it print while talking to the class about 3d printing.

Thank you for all of your great content.
If you print with the same pattern, same shape, same size, but different map, you can make really cool mash ups
grand canyon would be awesome to put on a shelf
if I had a 3d printer I wouldn't bother with the puzzle part id just make it smaller and way more acurate
Lol i live there
Totally awesome. I have a friend who loves puzzles. This'll be a great birthday gift!
You should do a 3d figure puzzle like of an animal or plant or building
Ooooo, yes.
He cant. He can only do landscapes or other things that have no pieces that are hanging over the ground of the print.
@@cade-music that is not true. He can use supports
Could you make a puzzle that is assembled in the shape of a sphere? Like an earth puzzle
Elizabeth García sure just cut the puzzle stl in meshmixer
But the earth is flat
+Lil neilA no it's not. It's a donut.
Blitz Fire no its not. Its an dinosaur shaped planet
omg ur right
oh my gosh I'm impressed EVERYTIME you post a video, wow what can you not do!!? you're like a magician comin' up with new stuff. This is so incredibly cool to watch!

Did I just come up with a good idea there?
Aargh! I need a second printer in that case! Otherwise there'll be no time for printing anything else!!
we could 3D print the earth like a globe. The future is now
I wanted to cover my entire ceiling with terrain until I realized how much printing time that would require haha
Just dedicate one printer to the task.
I just realized that it's impossible for you to do daily uploads because of how long it takes to do prints...
I guess I need to watch several times to get it all. I sure missed how you built in the .3 mm gap for each piece to fit together.
This is the coolest thing you’ve ever made IMO!
Wish I had a printer to make one
Man you deserve way more recognition
I would highly recommend Affinity Designer, it's a brilliant alternative to Adobe Illustrator. It's a small price to pay but no costly monthly subscription. Worth checking it out. Btw this brilliant 3D puzzles you've created, very unique 👍👌
I would love seeing this done with the entire moon as a 3D sphere puzzle!
you're my favorite 3d printer youtube.
Custom terrain STL may be easily made online with the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Ceres, Vesta NASA Trek with the built in point & click "Generate 3D Print File" tool. For example, "NASA Moon Trek: Hesiodus crater, Mons Pico, Plato & Tutorial"
I don't own a 3d printer but you are a genius and I learn a lot from you :) you are amazing keep doing what you do best, PRINT!
man you are a genius, love your ideas, love your channel
quick trick: extrude a rectangle on the bottom and join at 1mm thickness then in the slicer set model position minus 1mm it turns all into one part and then the .stl is one file and you can print it all at once
You used multiple techniques I've been trying to figure out, plus a great idea for a gift. Thank you so much
I imagine combining this with the Palette 2 so as to make colored terrain sections:
Blue water for lake areas, green forested areas, white tipped mountains, etc
Holy guacamole this is so cool!! Especially the Mars planet one
Really cool!! I‘ve already printed some maps for a friend of mine. Unluckily I don’t know how to work with Fusion 360° that good in order to follow the steps you’ve did there. Illustrator I‘ve never used.
Cat you said fusion 360 degrees
Hey, I reckon it would be cool to change the color so the different heights change color so it looks like map terrain
That would be so cool. Especially with a blue water level layer :)
This is a project where non-planar printing would really shine
The best puzzles i have seen in my life!
Epic! You could shell the bottom of all of the pieces to save time and material! I wanna do it now...
So few years ago I wasn't into 3D stuff and so, I tried to remake Laguna Seca in a sandbox racing videogame.
AND YOURE TELLIN ME IT COULD HAVE BEEN JUST THIS EASY?? Ok, you got my attention.
Your channel is so cool and your work is amazing !
i am about to design replacement door panels for my 1985 ford pick up and this seems to be a great idea to do that
Amazing!! Great start of February!!
Now need to get it painted up! Cool project!
My new favorite Make Anything video. Really cool project.
I like how when i first followed this channel i had no idea what you were talking about and i just liked the projects. Now idk how long later im in a graphic design class and i can understand most of the terms you are saying xD. I still love the projects and stuff you do too. I would really love to make a puzzle. Sadly i dont have a 3D printer so for now i just have to stick with paper and cardboard.
OMG WOW I LOVE IT IM MAKING TONNNNNSSSS OF THESE
Props for the patience
Love the filaments that you use 🤓🤓🤓
Kinda like those 3d crystal puzzles u should check them out and maybe even try to 3d print them cuz theyre really fun to put together in my opinion
You should be able to create the .dxf/"cookiecutter" in any CAD software that has spline and offset tools. I think you can also use Meshmixer to slice the .stl with your cookiecutter file.
+KiaranScath yup.. I just know meshmixer can also crash doing a big operation like that
Super sick build man!! Keep up the great work man. Great content as always!!
This is on another level Devin :DDD Loved it
This was AWSOME!
Thats a lot of work! Respect.
He built that entire puzzle in the intro just so he could push it aside. Niiiiice
Thank you so much for this awesome idea!! The 3D models from NASA are super cool. I will definitely print some moon craters soon :D
That Mars puzzle is so cool
I've messed around with creating 3d topographic maps, never though of making puzzles out of them though. Awesome idea!
Hmm this video gave me some ideas. Thanks for sharing. I have a mini printer so such a print would take longer. Wonder if I could make original designs this way with thinner pieces.

Nissa Revane
Cool, I never knew that. thanks
this would be a great gift idea
I think you can also CNC mill the terrain model and then laser cut them into puzzle pieces (if you have acces to those).
I *wish* I had access to a CNC!
Omg you’re a genius your ideas are so creative!
I like the crater one a lot!
I would love to see a 3D printed fully round puzzle of the moon
There is a 'mass operation': you export all of them into one STL (by exporting the component or the project as STL) and then you take it into Mesh Mixer and use the separate tool. Mesh Mixer is also the better tool for what you did in the beginning in the Windows 3d thingy. Watch Maker's Muse's videos on Mesh Mixer, he just did some good basic tutorials on those functions
+Kaido1 I use meshmixer all the time, but actually find the UI of 3D builder to be more straightforward if you're just doing simple operations
This is really cool and I’m tempted to do one. Do you have an airbrush? Take a single, light, low angle pass from one corner with a light grey or white. It will look like light falling on the terrain and will make it stand out with a hill shade effect. Thanks for the video.
This is about sixteen shades of awesome
Only one ;)
*Friend visits you*
Friend: Hey! Why do you have dry ketchup in a box?
You: Ehhr... Actually it's mars....
We are getting a 3D printer at my school my teacher loves your channel and I love it more
3d, 3d printed puzzles possible? spherical moon puzzle?
You could export the puzzle as one piece and simplify3d has feature where you can seperate the stl file to seperate files
Super cool I've never seen anything like this!
To make it even harder you could make the pieces different colors to sorta trick the mind in a way
This video must have taken soooooo much time! Good work.
You are a mad mad man and it’s amazing! Please never stop being mad! ❤️😍
This looks awesome
This is awesome. I think I can do most of this with onshape. I'm gonna figure out how to make one for my grandma for her to understand why I got a printer lmao
That’s awesome! I’ll defiantly try printing these!
for your next project you should make 3d puzzles made from 3d models kinda like a rubik’s cube with multiple layers but a puzzle
This is such a fantastic project. Thank you for your detailed explanation of the process. 👍😎🇦🇺
your videos are really cool!
You should make a 3d printed ocarina that can be played.
i wanted to use this in a project i'm working on. is there any way to change the box's form?
for me it's an rectangle, and does not fit with what i want. i would prefer a like-sided square.
+Tim Tem just get the rectangle and cut it down to a square after the fact! Or any shape for that matter :)
god i love this, great project to do during these current events going on. shame is doesnt grab city/road data so i could make a scale model of my home town
You are amazing and extremely smart. This channel needs WAY more attention! Keep up the awesome work! 😊👏
this was incredibly exciting and new and cool!!! im so happy
this seems really easy for a jigsaw puzzle
Holy cow that’s awesome. I’ll be making one. Thanks
It takes a particular genius to do this! Never stops amazing me!
Those are fantastic!
I think this would be a perfect puzzle for the colorblind.
+NavyBlueBunny yes, or even completely blind if they're skilled enough!
Dude, your off the chain with all of these insanely cool ways to print in 3d! 🤔👍
