Gloomhaven tiles using 3mm magnetic balls - compatible with MagHex

thingiverse

Update v4 Several new designs have been added. Every model now features three sizes of holes for neocubes (normal, small, and very small). Printers with varying tolerances require different hole sizes. It was also discovered that printing on a glass bed yields different results compared to the standard Ender3 bed. Chamfering was not included in the design as it proved to create more problems than benefits during printing. The added designs include: - A hexagonal shape with a center magnet hole (5x2mm). Two sizes of center holes are available (5.1mm and 5.2mm). - A hexagonal shape with a center magnet hole (3x2mm). Two sizes of center holes are available (3.1mm and 3.2mm). - Half-hex shapes - Quarter-hex shapes Update v3 Minor adjustments were made to the design, which was then tested using printed MagHex hexes. All function perfectly, producing a satisfying click. Update v2 Changes were made to match the size of walls and hexagons with those from MagHex. A chamfer was added to the bottom for easier assembly. The position of the hexagon was also corrected. Requested by Mike2023. A video demonstrates how to assemble 3mm neocubes using 31mm tiles. Although not tested, a 33mm tile and 35mm base combination is expected to fit without issue. The system utilizes 3mm magnetic balls (neocubes). Some benefits of using these balls include: 1) Easy assembly requires no tools. Simply stick the ball to a metal surface and press it into its pocket with your fingers. The ball will snap into place easily. After printing over 170 models, not a single ball has fallen out or damaged a hexagon. 2) Balls rotate within their pockets, ensuring correct polarity alignment is never an issue. 3) Neocubes were once a popular toy and are now widely available at discounted prices (as low as $2.99 for 216 balls). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8QnOHIlr18
