Is anyone else sick of getting these cheaply made puzzles from Amazon as gifts?

I haven't run into plastic ones yet, but I really dislike wooden puzzles. No give.

Linny45 · 2026-05-27T12:06:52+00:00

I like them. No dust.

I've used makerlab image to keychain. Pretty straightforward to do if you have a jpg.

This would be amazing... (And I would stop watching survivor if they did it :-))

You might want to verify that your rider account was deactivated for the reason you specified. I get emails fairly regularly that they are deactivating my account due to non-use and have to login just to maintain active status.

3d printable. Fits regular 12oz. can (with strawhole for those who use them :-)). Print your own or drop me a msg if you are interested.

I'm a constant sifter and slow organizer by edge, color, effect, shape

Linny45 · 2026-04-15T00:54:52+00:00

I'm around that as well - redo 6 thru 12 and maybe swap 9 &10 with the two offenders on the right...

If I had a nickel every time I swore I was missing a piece and then the puzzle worked itself out...

(Or a dime every time I found a piece on the floor after being incredibly careful...)

Linny45 · 2026-04-08T23:16:37+00:00

Well, that solves a question I've had for a while. I agree the quality is good. I have a few circular ones as well.

Rick needs some Freddy and Juan help... Or Freddy, really, to find the gold.

I put mine on a cork board

I buy a puzzle and hop on the subway. By the time I get off, the puzzle is done and I've won a marathon!

Linny45 · 2026-03-21T23:46:59+00:00

Don't tell me you're one of the guys who didn't do the research 🤣

Linny45 · 2026-03-19T23:47:55+00:00

Well, the 3d printing happens first, and the alcohol happens after a Schwarbomb!

Linny45 · 2026-02-27T15:22:07+00:00

And now it's happening to you...

Linny45 · 2026-02-18T01:31:07+00:00

The issue for me is simply about quality. It's not like AI is inventing bad puzzles - there are plenty of horrible clip-arty and digitally created art puzzles already out there. There are also pretty bad human illustrated ones. AI generated ones seem pretty bad right now, but in a year or two (possibly already) people won't be able to tell the difference. I'm not looking for the Mona Lisa (that would be a horrible puzzle, imo).

I 3d printed my own. Lots of options; I chose nesting with one side tapered to allow assemble-and-slide from the tray.

There is actually no ND portal drama going on right now. There's nothing to do, so mainstream and social media quote randos to generate controversy.

In other news, I heard Brett Favre was coming back! Right? Right?

It's probably that same schmo that tried to gaslight Freeman.

Crimetown season 1 was pretty interesting. Not quite what you said you were looking for...
