Fantastic! I was indeed thinking about how we can make sure that the puzzle pieces stick together, because on a flat surface gravity makes sure 2D pieces stay together, in 3D that won't work. Things I consider:
- Glueing them together -> less transportable when puzzle globe in large size - Making puzzle pieces in two layers (half-timber joint) -> the front layer is as you know them, the back layer as a different size and overlas with the neighbouring piece - Tape on the background -> not strong enough - Sticks inside 2 pieces -> seems possible stable enough - Chaining 2 pieces together with a hook (or two hooks) around a bar (similar to a lock for sliding doors) - ...
