A simple circle packing puzzle.
Can you get all the disks into the square board?
The board is the minimum size that all these circles will pack into.. 18.59x the Radius of Disk 1.
The pieces scale up in Area size from the the 1st disk. so Disk 2 is 2x the Area of Disk 1, Disk 5 = 5x, Disk 10 = 10x etc. I modelled using 2 decimal place precision, which *shouldn't* affect the fit.
**Printing**
Scale the board and pieces equally in X & Y to suit your needs, leaving the thickness the same or thereabouts.
Untested as yet, but sticking to the mathematical principle as described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2gZtil6zJY&t
