Being in quarantaine isn't always easy. So I need to find ways to keep myself busy, and keep my mind balanced. Trying to solve a puzzle is a good way for me and it also trains the brain. So, being stuck inside how can I do that? The answer is very simple ... Just print it!
I was looking on Thingiverse on internet. This site has a large collection of things to print. So I start looking up and printed a few things.

The first one was an easy one. The puzzle has only 12 pieces and the result is a sphere. I've printed the pieces in 6 different colors and after a lot of patience I could make the puzzle :)

Let's move on to the second one. This is a tangram puzzle. So all the pieces together give you a square. IMG20200909WA0005.jpeg

Again, the puzzle has 12 pieces. There is more than one solution. I also printed the case to make a travel edition. Ouch .. no travel this time ... Well at least it will keep all the pieces together 馃榿

And we're going to the next level ... This one is a real challenge. It consists of 10 pieces, the numbers 0 to 9. You have to place them all on the platform. It took me a couple of days to complete it. I was always struggling with the last piece. Of course you can find the solution very easy on the internet, but I wanted to train my brain and challenge myself.

This is the result:

One of my next projects is to transfer a couple of puzzles I have into a 3D version and print them. I really hope we can buy filament very soon and I can keep on printing.

Stay healthy and keep your brain fit!
