Design Brief

Hi everyone!

Devin here from Make Anything.

I'm excited to host my first MyMiniFactory design challenge, having taken part in a few myself! For this challenge the theme is puzzles! Puzzles have been around for centuries as a simple way to entertain ourselves, but how can we take them to the next level with 3D printing?

Think sliding puzzles, Towers of Hanoi style, terrain jigsaw puzzles and puzzle cubes. The 3D puzzle can be anything you like. Something new or a remix of a current design. I have an inspiration collection on MyMiniFactory full of different ideas you can use to give you a jumping start. I have also made a video below in ‘Themes’ explaining the different tricks and tips you need to know about designing a 3D puzzle.

Get creative. Do you have a new puzzle idea? Is there a puzzle you have always wanted to make. If so this is your time to shine.

Just create, design and print. Then upload it to the MyMiniFactory competition page for your chance to win an incredible Dremel DigiLab 3D45.

I will be judging the submissions so the more creative the better.

Submissions close on June 17th so don’t delay!

Good luck and Stay Inspired!
