Catan user magnetic box and other misc pieces

thingiverse

Here is my collection of all the random pieces I designed to complete my Catan print. This is all meant for this specific set and it's various remixes: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2525047 The pride and joy of this collection is a box to hold all the user pieces for the Catan set. Holds 15 roads, 10 road connectors, 5 settlements, and 4 cities. My printer couldn't do the ledge of the box top, so I'm separated it into two models and will glue together. The box with lid is the exact same width and thickness of two of the Catan tile frames stuck together. The plan is to eventually build a rack type setup to hold all the tiles and boxes. I inset the build costs in the lid and am using models I found/made to represent each of the resources. "Settlement" had to be changed to "Town" to fit... sacrifices were made. The top part of the box and the lid both have two voids for the same 3mm x 6mm magnets the Catan set uses in addition to the little nubs. Set your print to pause at the layer before it gets covered, check your the preview of your slice to be certain. Printing at 0.2mm this worked out to stopping before rows 5.6mm and 4.2mm for the box top and lid respectively. I printed the resource inserts at 0.1mm since they are so tiny. I also made coins to match the set with a tube that will hold 24 resource coins. They are pretty big, 34mm OD x 6mm tall. I wanted something where others can't see your resources while still being a model, so this was the idea. I printed the bases at 0.2mm and inserts at 0.1mm. All credit to the original modelers for the sheep, wheat, ore, and wood models. The number tokens I made are a little wider than the ones that came with other models for the Catan set. These fit the slots completely and I also sunk the numbers instead of having them stand up, so the robber sits flat. Obviously I did a color change to get a black or red bottom half and a white top so the numbers pop. About the Robber... I wanted something more representative of what the robber is doing, so here you go. Nothing against the tornado and stuff others have, but this feels appropriate. Last but not least, I wanted my own custom cards that actually explain what they do. I only found others that had a symbol or something and you had to remember. These also were of course color swapped to make them stand out.
