Latin America map puzzle

thingiverse

Map of Latin America (excluding the small islands), with the various countries as puzzle pieces. The puzzle is set within a frame as it holds the pieces together nicely when in place and also acts as an aid to puzzle piece location. The smaller countries have been grouped with a larger country, or together, as they are too small on their own as suitable puzzle pieces. The file consists of various layers. The country names are grouped with the boundary lines (marked as red lines) of the smaller countries - this layer needs to be engraved first, before the country boundary layer, continent outline layer, and frame layer can be laser cut together. I also cut the frame layer from cardboard and paste beneath the frame to make the puzzle more portable.
