1.4.0 · New: Every download now includes an A4 poster of the place, in a light and a dark version

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 29 Oct 17:43

Added

  • Every download now includes an A4 poster of the place, in a light and a dark version. The landscape is drawn as stacked layers, with contour lines across the top and the cut sides hatched.
    • It shows where the place is, its name and its coordinates, for example "NEPAL • NP", "Mount Everest" and "27.99°N 86.92°E".
    • The drawing follows your model: the same shape, area and relief exaggeration.
    • Earth's landmarks show their country. For a spot you pick yourself, and on the other worlds, the poster shows the world's name.

1.3.2 · Fixed: Square and hexagon models had straight, wall-like edges

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 29 Oct 17:17

Fixed

  • Square and hexagon models had straight, wall-like edges. Along each straight side, the landscape's edge ran as one straight line from corner to corner instead of following the terrain. Where the land was lower than that line, a flat slab stood up like a wall; where it was higher, the edge cut into it. It shows most on steep places like the Matterhorn, but every square or hexagon model on every world had it. Puzzle pieces had the same along their straight cuts. Every edge now follows the terrain.
    • Reprint square and hexagon models made before this update if the edges bother you. Circle ornaments were not affected.
    • A puzzle piece printed now still fits an older puzzle; only the height of its edges is slightly different.

1.3.1 · Fixed: Zooming in close on the 3D preview could show walls that aren't in the model

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 29 Oct 16:58

Fixed

  • Zooming in close on the 3D preview could show walls that aren't in the model. With tall relief, such as a mountain or a gorge, the camera could slide inside the landscape, so you saw it from underneath with its edges standing up like walls. The camera now always stays above the model, however far you zoom or turn. The print files were never affected.

1.3.0 · New: Earth is here

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 29 Oct 16:26

Added

  • Earth is here. Pick any place on Earth, from a single mountain to a whole ocean basin, and print it as an ornament or a puzzle.
    • 41 landmarks to start from, such as the Matterhorn, Mount Fuji, the Grand Canyon, the Richat Structure, Bora Bora and the Challenger Deep.
    • The sea floor is included, so islands rise from the ocean bed and trenches show up.
    • Small places are sharp: when you're online, Earth loads detailed elevation (down to a few metres per sample) for the spot you pick. Without internet it uses its built-in world map, which is about 5 km per sample, and the app tells you so.
  • Regions can now be as small as 2 km across, for small peaks and craters. This works on every world.

1.2.1 · Fixed: The numbers under the puzzle pieces gave away where each piece goes

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 26 Oct 14:13

Fixed

  • The numbers under the puzzle pieces gave away where each piece goes. They counted in order around the puzzle, so you could solve it just by reading the backs. The numbers are now shuffled, and pieces that sit next to each other never get consecutive numbers.
    • The same puzzle always gets the same numbers, so a reprinted piece still matches its single-piece file and the piece map.
    • Download a new piece map if you printed a puzzle with the previous version: its numbers no longer match the new files.

1.2.0 · New: Puzzle pieces can have their number engraved on the underside

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 21 Oct 12:24

Added

  • Puzzle pieces can have their number engraved on the underside. Turn a piece over to see which one it is, handy for a lost piece or a reprint.
    • The numbers match the single-piece files and the piece map.
    • They're cut into the bottom, so the piece still lies flat.
    • Every number in a puzzle is the same size, in a clear typewriter-style font. Very small pieces may stay without a number.
  • Knurled outer edge. A criss-cross grip texture around the outside of the frame.
  • Knurled tray floor for puzzles. The same criss-cross texture on the floor of the tray hides print marks, and the pieces rest on its tips so they lift out more easily.

All three are on by default, and each has its own switch to turn it off. The piece shapes haven't changed, so puzzles printed before this update still fit new pieces.

1.1.0 · New: Every download now comes with a print guide (PDF)

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 15 Oct 16:25

Added

  • Every download now comes with a print guide (PDF). It replaces the old text file.
    • Cover page: the place, the model's size and relief, and where the data comes from.
    • Print settings and filament advice.
    • One page per print plate, with a picture of the part, how much filament it needs, and notes on fit and lettering.

Changed

  • Puzzle downloads always include every piece as its own file, plus a numbered piece map. The pieces always come spread apart on one plate for printing. The two switches for this are gone.

1.0.1 · Fixed: Puzzle pieces could have a corner that breaks off after printing

Choose a tag to compare

@github-actions github-actions released this 14 Oct 04:04

Fixed

  • Puzzle pieces could have a corner that breaks off after printing. In hexagon puzzles, some pieces had a sharp corner held on by a sliver of plastic about 1 mm thin, so the tip snapped off easily. Every corner now stays connected through at least 2.8 mm of material.
    • Fixed for all hexagon puzzles from 80 mm wide. Circle and square puzzles were not affected.
    • Reprint the whole puzzle. The knob layout changed, so a new piece won't fit a puzzle printed before this update.
