Just wanted to share a quick experience with Anycubic support.

I had an issue with the power switch on my ACE module (it basically stopped clicking and stopped working properly). I contacted support expecting the usual back-and-forth, but honestly it was way smoother than I thought.

After sending some details and proof of purchase, they quickly confirmed everything and arranged a replacement rocker switch for me. It arrived, I installed it, and now everything is working perfectly again.

What I appreciated most is that the process was simple and not frustrating. No unnecessary complications, just straight to solving the problem.

Overall, pretty solid experience. It definitely gives me more confidence in the brand and their after-sales support.

Hey everyone,

TL;DR:
I wanted a flexible way to make HueForge-style puzzle layouts in different sizes, couldn’t find one online, so I built a free browser tool that generates custom puzzle SVGs.

Long Version:

after watching a video from u/3D_Prints_By_Vic, I got the urge to try the whole HueForge puzzle idea myself, but with more flexibility on size and layout.

I looked around for a tool that could generate puzzle SVGs for this kind of workflow, but I couldn’t find anything that really did what I needed. So I ended up making one.

It’s a free browser-based tool called Ludwing Puzzle SVG Generator, and it lets you generate customizable puzzle grid SVGs for 3D printing or laser cutting.

You can change:

• overall width and height
• rows and columns
• tab shape randomness with a seed
• tab size and jitter
• margins, corner radius, and stroke width

Everything runs in the browser, no install needed.

The site also has links to my profile.

A couple quick tips if you want to use it for 3D printed HueForge-style puzzles:

• Enable the margin so you get a black outer border.
• Try a line width around 0.66 for nicer piece fitting, but definitely test on your own printer first.
• Export the SVG, import it as a primitive in a new project, save that as STL, then bring it into HueForge as a negative part.

Super pro tip:
In HueForge, set base layer to 0.20 and base thickness to 1mm. The point is to make the lower part of the puzzle thicker and more solid.
Then in the slicer, you can set the 0 to 1mm height range to print at 0.2 layer height, which usually speeds things up since that bottom section is just the solid base anyway.

Would love to hear what you think, especially from people already doing HueForge or puzzle-based prints.
