Village Puzzle Box

Inspired by the genius of Devin Montes: https://www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-tiny-toy-box-packing-puzzle-143389#

When I first saw the great toy packing puzzle box, I decided that it would be fun to do something similiar. My little puzzle-box is not that complex, but I think the little, comfy village looks beautiful. Santa is added for size comparison :)

The goal of the puzzle is to get all the tiny houses to fit perfectly in the small box. 12 houses in total. There is only one solution. It is probably very hard to figure out the fest few times, but as there are only 12 houses, it is easily possible to remember the solution..

Printing tips:
The lid can be printed with the text pointing up, without support. Just set the top/bottom pattern to lines, and trust the overhangs.

I printed the box in PET-G as it made the perfect flex for the lid to both stay on and be easy to remove.

To get top quality on the houses, I suggest to use a resolution of 0.12 No supports needed.
The wing on the mill should be glued on.

Have fun!
