Plywood Tangram

thingiverse

This is a simple plan to cut a tangram, a puzzle used to draw shapes. This is a design made to be personalized (mine is for the 6th birthday of my twins), I made it out of plywood but basically any material should do the trick Print Settings Printer: laser cutter Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Notes: This design is not to be 3d printed but laser cut. The following colors should be cut: pink: surrounding frame blue: internal frame black: inner pieces The following colors should be engraved: green: name / decoration red: puzzle assembly for backplate Post-Printing glue the back plate and the upper frame: done How I Designed This Design Used the standard shape of tangram, I added a rounded surroundings for frame. Duplicated to do the backplate. After first iteration, added a secondary internal frame, so that there is some looseness for the pieces to fit Changed the text and its location a few times Designed fully in inkscape, the iterations can be seen in my usual bitbucket repository : https://bitbucket.org/Bruce314/lasercutdesign More details soon on my blog : http://www.revelut.ch Overview and Background Lesson Plan and Activity
