Fireball Island Replacement Parts - Remix

thingiverse

I purchased a Fireball Island board with no components included. Since reassembling the game would be extremely costly, I turned my attention to alternative options. That's when spotzero's intricate statue caught my eye at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:293228 and squar3d's figure http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:496388, which, by the way, prints fairly well in its original form. Initially, I envisioned creating a massive TestIdol that would take around 5 hours to print. However, to speed up the process, I opted for the mini version instead and set my 3D printer to the lowest quality settings, successfully reducing the printing time to just an hour last night. I'll continue updating this project with new versions as I complete them. UPDATE: November 9th, 2014 - I added a triangle-shaped bridge. Unfortunately, the first printed piece was slightly too wide, so I adjusted the model to close the gap by about 2 millimeters. The next steps will include creating straight and idol-related updates. UPDATE 2: November 9th, 2014 - A rectangle-shaped bridge was also successfully integrated. After analyzing the printed component, I discovered that the tab on it was slightly too short. Consequently, a revised model was uploaded with an added 5-millimeter extension. UPDATE: November 11th, 2014 - I implemented additional details into the idol's design. Although I'm still figuring out how to fully utilize Solid Works' wrapping feature, progress is being made. UPDATE: November 16th, 2014 - A complete-sized TestIdol was finally printed with a layer thickness of 0.3 millimeters and a moderate quality level. However, this particular print took approximately 3 hours to finish – significantly less than the required time for optimal results, which were about 9 hours.
