Map of USA States puzzle

thingiverse

Multi-state map of the US. I searched high and low for just the plain, individual states scaled correctly to fit with one another, but couldn't find a single thing that had that. I got hold of the sketchup file from the creator to make this. It would be fantastic as a learning tool for identifying state shapes and locations, or as a puzzle for kids. The states are scaled to be pretty large. If you scale them down, make sure to use the same scale for every model. Massachusetts isn't scaled properly - sorry about that. I'll fix this eventually. I used a rough estimate of the appropriate dimensions to print the one for the map. Print Settings Rafts: It doesn't matter what settings are chosen here. Supports: It also doesn't matter what supports are selected here. How I Designed This I got hold of the sketchup file from the creator, then singled out the states and extruded them to a certain height (I think like 3mm) and exported to STL. Afterwards I loaded each state individually into 123D Design for scaling to the proper dimensions so everything would fit together seamlessly.
