Overview

Puzzlecad is an OpenSCAD library for quickly generating models of interlocking puzzle designs. It allows for burr puzzle pieces to be specified in shorthand such as:

burr_piece(["x..|xxx|x.x", "...|...|x.."]);

This enables complex puzzle pieces to be designed and generated with a minimum of independent CAD modeling.

There are parameters to control size, beveling, and insets, and a "snap joint" mechanism for printing complex overhanging puzzle pieces without relying on supports.
