All3DP Unwrapped: Balance Tetris

Ah, the holidays. A time for family, and about as much relaxation as you can manage while the kids are out of school and fueled on a daily dose of seasonal chocolate from their advent calendars.

Your 3D printer can help (somewhat), with quick prints that provide a daily dose of fun. 3D printed advent gifts, if you will.

All month until December 25th we’re bringing you All3DP Unwrapped: daily highlights of quick and easy toys that you can 3D print over the holiday season. We’re sure to dig up something fun for you, whether it’s a daily advent toy, gifts for the holiday celebrated by your family, or just a micro project for yourself. Check it out!

Balance Tetris by Paulorfo

This balance game is “Tetris-inspired” – and by that we mean it’s essentially Tetris on a see-saw with a huge “Tetris” logo on it. Players roll their 3D printed die to determine a piece to use, then stack it atop the see-saw, in an attempt to claim victory by building the highest stack.

No matter what, though, you’re all winners here: reducing screen time by taking the digital to the real world, and spreading a competitive holiday spirit to everyone around you. There are also plenty of printing success stories and tips on Printables, where the model is housed, so be sure to check those out should you want some inspiration.
