Catan Magnetic Bases - 5mm Spherical Neodymium with tile platfor

pinshape

Summary This is the Settlers of Catan magnetic base updated to fit 5mm 'bucky' balls. I've also redesigned the main platform to include the 'road' and 'settlement' indentations, as well as an indentation where you can place a modified tile piece to fit. Print Settings Printer Brand: SeeMeCNC Printer: Rostock MAX Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 30% Post-Printing Installing the Magnets Press the magnets into the holes at the bottom. Use a tool like a screwdriver to gently press them in. Once a magnet snaps into place, it should fit into a chamber that lets it rotate freely without escaping. This allows the magnets to align with those of other base pieces. Modified Tile Piece To fit a tile piece on top, you'll need to modify the tile pieces from these links and similar types: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1238980 http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1648047 Simply clip off 5.5mm from the bottom of each tile to exclude road portions. See an image I've included showing a modified tile piece. You decide whether to permanently glue each tile piece onto the base. How I Designed This I didn't start with the original piece, but rather remade it using onshape, which I recently discovered.
