Summary

*Quick Update: Modified the .stls so that they are better oriented for printing upon download. Didn't notice until they were uploaded

I've been working on a new boardgame idea for a few months now since I got my printer. While the game itself is still being tested and modified, I thought I might some files I've remixed to make a modular, chess-like board.

The base tile holder is remixed from ThinkerThing's Open Board Game Hex Brick. The tiles which fit in the holder are based off various sources;

  • the grass tile is also from ThinkerThing's Open Board Game
  • the dirt tile was cut down a bit from der_graue's Crackled Floor Plate
  • the mountain center piece was placed on a tile base, borrowed from dutchmogul's Cyvasse

Overall I think the board came out better than expected, each of the tiles fit snug in their holders and I can see the potential for some really interesting boards getting made from this.

The board is scaled to be about 6mm tall, each tile measures 29.8mm x 29.8mm so if you want to make your own tiles they will need to be created at this size to fit.

Since the tiles are fairly detailed, I recommend you print them in the upright position. This will cause many more layers, but the Z-axis provides better quality for such fine details.

If you use these tiles to make a board, please share your creation! I'd love to see what gets made from these!
