*I know the picture shows a #14 piece, however it was only 13 pieces and I had somehow skipped #9. The files represent #1-13 as #14 shouldn't exist. However I had pictures of when I printed it before I corrected the mistake.*

This is a Dinosaur Puzzle, fifth of a series that I am in the middle of making. It is 13 pieces in total. It has a bit larger gaps and this allows it to nicely be put together and not sway apart accidentally. There is also a base for putting the puzzle together inside of it so they know where each puzzle piece goes. The base has some quick facts of the Triceratops family of dinosaurs (info from Wikipedia) so you can teach them a bit about the dinosaur. This way in case you lose any particular piece you are able to print just that one. I mean, it is not common that kids lose toys or parts of toys sometimes right? Or maybe just mine do. Originally made by request from my oldest.

*The puzzle has "e" on the back of each piece so you know which set the puzzle pieces belong to.*

*Playtested by my 4 and 6 year olds. Modified from their playtests to be easier to assemble and play with.*

This is also why you see the puzzle base is not as conforming to the puzzle itself as possible. This allowed my kids to put it together easier than one with a tighter fit.

3D printing settings:

*No Support needed

*10% infill is fine and what I have used, but you can use 20% if you want

*I suggest 3 walls

*PLA works great but I made it in PETG

*Make sure you have good bed adhesion

*I printed on a K1C as reference

Please feel free to share images of your prints on this page, I would love to see the colors you decide to go with.
