Tetris Balance – 3D Printed Puzzle Game

This project is a 3D printed Tetris-inspired balance puzzle game designed to combine classic gaming nostalgia with hands-on physics and problem-solving. The model features a curved rocking base that challenges players to carefully stack Tetris-shaped pieces while maintaining balance.

The game includes several colorful interlocking tetromino-style pieces printed in vibrant PLA colors, which are placed on a large curved yellow base. Because the base is rounded, the structure becomes increasingly unstable as more pieces are added, requiring strategic placement and careful weight distribution to prevent the structure from tipping over.

The design emphasizes simple geometry, clean prints, and easy assembly, making it ideal for FDM 3D printing without supports. The open grid design of the pieces reduces material use while maintaining structural strength and keeping the game lightweight.

This project highlights the creativity and versatility of 3D printing by turning a digital design into an interactive tabletop game. It encourages logic, patience, and spatial reasoning, making it both a fun toy and an educational object.
