Design
An equidissection is a partition of a polygon into triangles of equal area. Here I divided a square into 6 triangles of equal area using the following pattern:
Target is of course to reassemble the square puzzle but also to find alternative pieces arrangements to make other convex figures than a simple square. Example below with 2 polygons. Sure you'll find more

This puzzle is part of a series, I'm designing and printing for a friend of mine who is a school teacher, based on mathematical and geometric concepts.
A 1st model is already available there -→ https://www.printables.com/model/922180-turn-a-triangle-into-square
So stay tuned
Printing
The model includes the puzzle itself (6 pieces), the square box to reassemble it and its lid.
Note that I didn't print yet the puzzle as I use to do before publishing. I'm waiting new filament delivery. I'll post a make soon.
You can printed it using PLA material with different colors. Any other material like PETG or ABS will do the job as there is no constraint at all.
On top of .stl and .3mf files, I uploaded Fusion 360 .f3d and .step files so you can modify the design and adapt it to your needs
As usual, feedback and comments (and for sure "likes") will be always welcome. Feel free to post nice pictures of your makes there
Have fun
