3D printable tiles for a game like Settlers of Catan

thingiverse

Main Description This contains all the components needed for a game similar to Settlers of Catan. The naming convention provides the suggested print color, along with the number of copies to print (e.g. "x3"). Core Tiles Interior tiles consist of brick x 3, wood x 4, sheep x 4, wheat x 4, ore x 3 and desert x 1. Perimeter port tiles include three 3:1 ports, as well as brick, wood, sheep, wheat and ore 2:1 ports. Three blank corner water perimeter pieces are available for semi-optional use. Six blank water perimeter pieces can also be used (semi-optional), especially if you have the fish expansion pack tiles below. Expansion Packs The Fish pack includes six fish perimeter pieces which can replace the six blank side water perimeter pieces. These were created specifically to remedy print troubles encountered with some 3D printer models. Some additional features have been included to improve the design of these original files: Moving the pips below the numbers ensures a proper touch. The v2 versions include some design improvements, making them more print-friendly. Newer revisions further simplify and improve upon the initial design. A special 5-6 player expansion pack has also been created: It includes two extra sets each of brick, wood, sheep, wheat and ore tiles. One additional desert tile is provided to supplement the core set. Additional water pieces can be placed strategically around specific ports. Newly designed 3-1 and 2:1 port combinations enhance gameplay for larger player counts. Notes The game-board tiles are currently in various stages of production. I will update this space once I have completed printing these tiles. A picture will likely follow once they're fully assembled. Initial results using TinkerCAD resulted in poor-quality wheat-bundles when printed on the Makerbot 2. Future refinements aim to fix some technical print errors. All core tile revisions provide improved results compared to the originals. A separate note is dedicated to explaining that these game-board tiles can also be created at home with your own printer.
