A set of alphabet blocks which snap together sideways so that you can make words.
My wife saw some online which were similar from a certain Danish company, but they fit together top and bottom, which didn't make them very useful for reading more than one at a time, so I put this together in Fusion (they're not compatible with said company, sorry!).
I printed them out with different colours for vowels and consonants, and I'll do another set with numbers in a third colour later on.
Update: New version with more rounding of interior edges to make them less sharp, and a connection between the outer shell and the interior oval to improve bed adhesion. Added a variation with extruded lettering along with one with recessed lettering.
Update 2: Added Fusion 360 files for raised and recessed lettering so you can modify it yourself.
