If you love puzzles, this one is definitely for you - a heart shaped stand puzzle made from classic tetris pieces. Connected with plugs, this will be a challenge for you to put it together. A video tutorial is in the making to help the ones who just want to put it together without too much trouble.
Model dimensions when it is put together is 7.87 inches (20 cm) Height | Base size is 5.31 inches (13.5 cm) * 2.95 inches (7.5 cm)
To complete the puzzle you will need the following amounts of each shape:
1x Base shape 5x “4 by 1” shape 30x “S” shape 30x “T” shape 42x “L” shape 15x “Square” shape 150+ connector pieces (depends on how sturdy you want the final piece, but I would recommend at least 150 connector pieces
There are couple of ways how to put it together, but for some guidance here’s the shapes by layers starting from the bottom:
