3D Catan: Practical Edits of Dakanzla's Work (For those of us who only have Dual or Single extrusion)!

thingiverse

OVERVIEW: =========================================== This collection showcases various modifications and tweaks I've made to Dakanzala's Catan files, primarily utilizing his base Tinker-Cad models. The majority of the credit goes to him for 98% of the work. Check out his 3D printed Catan here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2525047 Seafarers Expansion: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3072272 C and K expansion: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2865138 Instead of creating separate pages for each modification, I've compiled them all in one place. If I make any additional changes, they will be added here as I create them. Most of these tweaks enable printing with dual extrusion since I only have two colors available. For some files, I chose to include a pause and switch filament color halfway through instead of using the dual nozzles. This approach is effective aesthetically and significantly decreases print time without the need for ooze compensation. I found that when printing multiple pieces (roads and ships), switching halfway through was just as effective and reduced print time. Wipe walls, towers, etc., increase print time by a surprising amount! For some of Dakanzala's pieces, I intentionally used a single color only. These modifications were done to help distinguish between different types of pieces. For example, the tall tower was removed from the settlement to make it appear shorter and differentiate itself from the city. MODEL SPECIFICS: =========================================== > ROAD --------------------------------- I liked the color in the center with the black trim along the edge. Dakanzala's edge stones were too wide for the overpowering black color. I slimmed down the edge stones to create a nice thin defined edge and increased the height for easier handling. Print on its side to get better definition in the cobblestones. + Pause points for printing with a filament switch are 1.150mm and 3.500mm. + https://www.tinkercad.com/things/8dS2uB4xWYh-copy-of-road > WOOD ----- More Trees Edit. I didn't want to buy two different shades of green filament, one for wood and one for sheep. Instead, I did wood with a black base and the trees green. My edit adds more trees in the area where Dakanzala had stumps and some cut-down trees so that I could print the dual colors with a pause instead of dual nozzles and ooze shields. + Pause point for printing with a filament switch: 2.250mm. + If you want the dual nozzle version, go to the Tinkercad file and download each group separately. + https://www.tinkercad.com/things/5tK1A9uM6qW-copy-of-wood > WHEAT ----- I broke off the line of trees on a couple prints, so I adjusted them to not have thin little trunks at the bottom. They look more like tall bushes now, but at least they won't break off. + https://www.tinkercad.com/things/9fS2uB4xWYh-copy-of-wheat > SETTLEMENT ------------- Shortened to quickly differentiate from a city. + Both a dual color (I used black as the second color) and a single color version are shown. + I used single color for most of the players, but a couple colors needed a bit of contrast, so the dual color version is included. + https://www.tinkercad.com/things/3dS2uB4xWYh-copy-of-settlement > CITY ---------- Only tweak is for dual color print. + https://www.tinkercad.com/things/1tK1A9uM6qW-copy-of-city ... more to come.
