3D Printing Designs: The Sun Puzzle: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "3D Printing Designs: The Sun Puzzle" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
- Learn how to design a 3D printable model from an existing physical object
- Rekindle your mathematical mind to design perfectly interlocking complex pieces of a puzzle
- Personalize the puzzles design with a photo or shape of your own choice
Jigsaw puzzles derive their name from when they were cut from wood sheets using a hand-woodworking tool called a jig saw back in the 1760s. Have you ever wondered how a model idea for a jigsaw puzzle is articulated, and how it was made with these traditional tools?
Through this book, you will master the techniques of designing simple to complex puzzles models for 3D printing. We will quickly introduce you to some simple and effective principles of designing 3D printed objects using Blender. Through the course of the book, youll explore various robust sculpting methods supported by Blender that allow you to edit objects with actions such as bends or curves, similar to drawing or building up a clay structure of different shapes and sizes.
Finally, when the model is sculpted, youll learn some methods to cut the model and carve out multiple pieces of perfectly-fitting edges of different geometries to complete the puzzle.
What you will learn- Design, manipulate, and export 3D models for 3D printing with Blender
- Master the art from creating meshes, scaling, subdivision, and adding detail with the Boolean modifier to sculpting a custom shape
- Cut a model into small pieces and learn to design complex interlocking joints
Joe Larson, known online as the 3D Printing Professor, is one part artist, one part mathematician, one part teacher, and one part technologist. It all started in his youth, doing BASIC programming and low-resolution digital art on a Commodore 64. As technology progressed, so did Joes dabbling, eventually taking him to 3D modeling while in high school and college, and he momentarily pursued a degree in computer animation. He abandoned that and instead became a math teacher, and then moved to software development for 10 years before returning to education, teaching technology in college.
When Joe first heard about 3D printing, it took root in his mind, and he went back to dust off his 3D modeling skills. In 2012, he won a Makerbot Replicator 3D printer in the Tinkercad/Makerbot Chess Challenge, with a chess set that assembles into a robot. Since then, his designs on Thingiverse have been featured on Thingiverse, Gizmodo, Shapeways, Makezine, and other places. He currently produces weekly videos about design for 3D printing on his YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/mrjoesays.

Sometimes, 3D printing needs to be precise and practical, and sometimes, it just needs to be fun. Like the wood-cut puzzles your grandpa may have made in his garage, 3D printing lets you make similar toys, but with a whole new dimension. Perhaps more than any other tool available, only Blender provides the combination of organic sculpting and robust geometric shape modeling together that makes such projects possible.
You will begin by learning the basics of designing for modern, economic, home 3D printers. Then, you'll learn what you need to know about the 3D modeling and animation tool, Blender, to get you started. Then, we'll start using Blender's sculpting tools to create a shape with actions as simple as drawing. Finally, we'll use Blender's shape-editing tools to make the basic puzzle shape and combine that with the sculpted model to create the final piece.
, 3D Printing Basics , will help you understand 3D printing basics, types of 3D printing, and how FFF printers work.
, Beginning Blender , will introduce Blender, how to set it up, and some basic and mid-level functionality. Knowing the content of this chapter will get you over Blender's famous learning curve and provide the basic knowledge and reference necessary for following along with future projects.
, Sculpting the Face of the Sun , teaches you how to use the sculpting tools in Blender to transform a basic shape into a complicated design.
, Cutting a 3D Jigsaw Puzzle , helps you prepare the model, followed by creating the puzzle space and then applying that to the model to create the individual pieces.
A computer with at least a 2-GHz CPU, 2 GB of RAM, and, of course, Blender.
This book is for anyone with an interest in home 3D printing and a desire to learn the basics of design along with the tools that can make their ideas a reality.
In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.
