Celebrate humanity's first landing on the Moon with this fun, challenging jigsaw puzzle. Available for small printers (200mm) and large printers (300mm).

The large puzzle has 191 pieces and is the version featured in the cover photo. The smaller puzzle has 99 pieces. I achieved the marbling effect by printing with a fast change tri-color filament that changed from white to pink to black.

Each puzzle (large and small) is made of two pieces using the negative volume feature of slicers. When you overlap two meshes and set one to be a negative volume, the volume of the second is cut away from the first mesh just as if you performed a boolean cut in Fusion of Blender. The advantages of this technique are that this doesn't crash the software, take hours to process or generate meshes filled with errors. To print it, load the puzzle and cutter into your slicer and apply the cutter as a negative volume. If you use PrusaSlicer, you can just use my project files.
