Carcassonne Tile Grid Holder Tree

prusaprinters

<p>A "tree"-style holder for the excellent <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/822/carcassonne">Carcassonne</a> Tile Grids at <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:25158">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:25158</a></p> <p>It can probably hold about 30 of them (I have 28).<br/> We play with the base game, first expansion (Inns &amp; Cathedrals), and second expansion (Traders &amp; Builders); typically using 24 grids.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p><strong>Resolution:</strong> 0.30mm<br/> <strong>Infill:</strong> 20%<br/> <strong>Supports:</strong> No<br/> <strong>Filament:</strong> PLA</p> <p><br/></p> <p><h3>How I Designed This</h3><br/></p> <p>I actually started looking at the holder at <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2739577">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2739577</a>, but it only holds 18 grids, and we found that we kept needing 6 more. So I tried tweaking that model to make it taller, but was concerned about the strength of the 4 corner pillars, so I started making more and more changes to make them stronger. After seeing that it was going to take a very long time to print, and I couldn't even guarantee it would work, I suddenly remembered this other holder at <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2839630">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2839630</a> (which is for a different type of grid), but it has a "tree"-style design with a single pillar in the middle. That seemed like it would be sturdier and faster; so I started over and built what I have now, mirroring the size and holes of the grids themselves. I then added a meeple cutout in the pillar for fun, to save filament, and to make it a little easier to grab.</p>
