A difficult food packing puzzle. Can you pack all twenty food items on a single layer within the basket?
Dial in the difficulty
- For a real challenge, fit all 20 food items in the puzzle. All pieces should sit perfectly flat. The intended solution has a little wiggle room to account for differences between 3D printers.
- For an easier challenge, exclude one smaller food item, like the strawberry, bean, or avocado.
- For a very easy challenge, exclude one large food item, like a cucumber, celery, or carrot.
Color Options
- Multicolor files - These 3MF files contain separate parts for easy application of color. When opening the file in your slicer, you may be asked if you want to split the model into parts. If you receive this alert, select yes. If you do not receive this alert, you may need to split the model by right clicking on it and selecting “Split into parts”.
- Single color files - These files are intended for single color printers. You can print them as-is or pause your printer mid-print and manually swap filament colors at different elevations. Each color elevation is 0.4mm high to work with 0.2mm layer heights.
Printing
This puzzle is difficult to solve, but easy to print.
- All parts can be printed without supports.
- Add a brim if you have any curling on the basket or food pieces. Warped parts will ruin the puzzle.
