<p>This is a new take on <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/271172-cube-3-equal-part-puzzle-new-3d-model">my last design</a> adding spherical sides. &nbsp;The sphere is truncated to add a flat side to print on without using support. &nbsp;There are three versions. &nbsp;The “wide" version (my preferred version) has more of the spherical sides showing. &nbsp;The ”narrow" version has less of &nbsp;the spherical sides showing, but eliminates the small corner “anomaly”. &nbsp;It has a slightly greater bottom printing surface. &nbsp;The third version “half-round” is fully round except for the 3 flat sides.</p><p>You should print in the position the .stl files are already oriented. &nbsp;I used .15mm layers, 2 side layers, 3 top and bottom layers, 15% infill. &nbsp;No rafts, no support. &nbsp;I used Prusament PLA.</p><p>Generally I always use the Prusa Slicr, but in this case I used S3D. &nbsp; (I have not been using S3D for a long time, but found it occasionally works faster for some things; not necessarily better.)</p><p>You can triple up on your plate three times using three colors and you will end up with parts for three multi-color assemblies. &nbsp; UPDATE: I have found that I get better results, less bridging--smoother surfaces, just printing one piece at a time. &nbsp;Maybe it's just me. &nbsp;Try both ways and see if you get better results with one or the other.</p><p>The 65mm in the title refers to the approximate diameter of the sphere. &nbsp;The flat sides are about 55mm. &nbsp;This is based on my recent 40mm 3 part puzzle.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
