TerraPuzzle

What is TerraPuzzle?

TerraPuzzle is the puzzle-only sister site of TerraPrinter. You pick an area on the map, such as the Matterhorn or Machu Picchu, or one of 22 other worlds from the Moon and Mars to Pluto and Titan, and it cuts the terrain into puzzle pieces with real relief from Copernicus 30 m elevation data and OpenStreetMap.

The cut is very adjustable: the number of pieces, a grid, brick, hex or organic layout, classic, round, locking, dovetail, tab, wavy or straight edges, and a rectangle, rounded, round, hexagon or heart outline, with knob size and irregularity sliders. You set the puzzle size, height boost, base thickness and fit gap, and can add buildings, roads, water and parks, a number under each piece, a tray with the numbers in its floor, magnet pockets for a fridge or board puzzle and color layers by height.

It shows a filament and print-time estimate, lets you solve the puzzle in 3D in the browser first, and downloads a ZIP with one STL per piece plus the tray and a printing guide, or one multicolor 3MF with every map feature in its own color. It is free and needs no account.
