For use with BuckleBoards, which can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2933767. And for tools like BuckleBusters: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2933992. When printing these items, it's highly recommended that you use Cura's "Horizontal Expansion" feature with a negative value. A value of -.12 works well for me. If they're still fitting in too tightly, try -.15, then -.20, and so on. BuckleTiles are small tiles roughly 1" or 26mm wide that can be snapped onto the surface of BuckleBoards. The tiles come in different configurations, allowing you to create a flat plane of tiles, inside corners, outside corners, and more. Learn more here: https://youtu.be/zI2LzLBp5BE. This project has been in development for over 4 years, with at least five major design overhauls and dozens of smaller iterations. Finally, it's ready to be unveiled. To snap the tiles into place, place the BuckleTile peg over one of the four holes on the BuckleBoard and push down hard. This requires an adult's grip. The tile edges overlap slightly to hide any gaps. Because of this, you may need to bend the BuckleBoards slightly to fit two tiles together. Sometimes it's easier to put 4 tiles on each BuckleBoard and then connect the BuckleBoards. Design your own tile textures, such as Cobblestone, Grass, Water, Brick, etc., to build entire worlds! The tiles are compatible with 28mm gaming miniatures. Please take pictures of your creations and share them here. You're highly encouraged to design your own textures. Tag your creations with "buckleboards" and list them as a remix of the Tiles or Boards, depending on what you made. ### The BuckleTile Family: **Standard:** Use this tile on flat surfaces. This is the tile you'll use 95 percent of the time. Perfect for game boards, miniature gaming textures, etc. **Inside Corner, 2 Sides:** When you're forming an inside corner, use three of these where three Boards meet. **Inside Corner, 1 Side:** Use two or more of these when two Boards meet to form an inside corner. **Outside Corner, 2 Sides:** When you're forming an outside corner, use three of these where three Boards meet. **Outside Corner, 1 Side:** Use two or more of these when two Boards meet to form an outside corner. **Outside Corner, 3 Sides:** This piece is only used with Half and Quarter BuckleBoards to make ends. **Outside Corner, 2 Sides Opposite:** This piece is only used with Half and Quarter BuckleBoards to make middles. **Outside Corner, 4 Sides:** This piece is only used with Half and Quarter BuckleBoards to make ends. ### Coming Soon: * End Pieces For making clean edges, for gaming boards, tops of walls, etc. * 45 Degree Kit For making roofs, etc. * Lock, Hasp, and Hinge Kit For creating boxes that open and close, gates, etc. * Removable Building Levels For when you want to build a miniature building for gaming and you want to be able to easily remove levels to see inside. **BuckleTiles:** * Terrain Pack 1 For rpg / war / tabletop gaming. Cobblestone, Brick, Straw Roof, Grass, Water, Dirt, Sand. * Table A tile with a table emerging out of it, for DnD bars, etc. * Tree A tile with a tree emerging out of it. **BuckleBusters:** * BackPunch Used in conjunction with BucklePunch.
