Summary

This is the same thing I've uploaded on Thangs - https://than.gs/m/1069660

After many, many, MANY different variations and tests with my previous interlocking hexes, I've seen the light and understood that printing the lids separately was a dumb idea.

So, new stacker hex! Prints like a charm! Even on a resin printer, if you print it with the lids straight on the table, you won't need supports for the small nubs, as they don't need to be precisely angular to work. By the 4th layer, everything will be properly glued together and it will fit into any needed hole.

=DIMENSIONS=
Face to Face: 30.39mm (outer); 27.03mm (inner, lid)
Edge to Edge: 35.10mm (outer), 31.22mm (inner, lid)
Height: 10.8mm + 1.7mm (lid) = 12.5mm total

The h4 variants are the equivalent of 4 hexes stacked on top of one another, which is enough to be taller than a typical RPG miniature, so one way to look at the hexes is that each layer could represent 50cm of real height, thus the tall pieces would be approximately 2 meters tall.

=THOUGHTS=
I suppose making a bunch of clipper nubs instead of having them built in into the pieces could work better? Converting these to that would be just a matter of cutting away the existing nubs, so no loss of compatibility
