Catan Magnetic Bases - 5mm Spherical Neodymium with tile platform inlay

thingiverse

This is the Settlers of Catan magnetic base updated to fit 5mm 'bucky' balls, with a redesigned main platform that includes 'road' and 'settlement' indentations, as well as an indentation where you can place a modified tile piece. Print Settings: Printer Brand: SeeMeCNC Printer: Rostock MAX Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 30% Post-Printing: Installing the Magnets Press fit the magnets into the holes at the bottom, using a screwdriver handle to gently press them in. Once a magnet snaps into place, it should go into a chamber that allows it to freely rotate without escaping, allowing the magnets to orient themselves with those of the other base pieces. Modified Tile Piece To fit a tile piece on top, you'll need to make a slight modification to the tile pieces found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:26979, and other similar types. Simply clip off the bottom portion of the tile so as not to include the road portions, about 5.5mm clipped off from the bottom. See the image included for reference. From this point, it's up to you whether you want to permanently glue each tile piece onto each base. How I Designed This I decided to remodel the original piece using Onshape, a software I recently discovered.
