Hex Base system for Gloomhaven using magnetic balls (neocubes)

thingiverse

Update v2 Added to new Hexes 1) No walls with center magnet. You can use it as a base for all "rbross" walls and doors. You can use my template for drilling holes (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3831727). 2) Hex with magnet in center. You can use this one to fit the base and then put on top of it walls and all terrain with magnet in center. Inspired by Xevin's great MegHex system, I wanted to make something that would be compatible with all my already printed (and painted) doors and walls from Rober R. (rbross). So I made a smaller version of MegHex (31 mm vs 33 mm), which allowed me to fit all already printed terrain. My system uses 3mm magnetic balls (neocubes). Some advantages of using balls: 1) It is super easy to fit. No tools needed. The best way is to use something metal to stick the ball to and then press it into its pocket with your fingers. It should snap easily. After printing more than 170, I didn't have a single ball drop from its pocket or hex destroyed. 2) Balls rotate in their pockets so you will never have polarity wrong. 3) Neocubes used to be popular toys so they are much more common and you can find them on some sales as cheap as $2.99 for 216 balls. You can easily make any Hex fit to this system just by scaling it to around 31 cm (or 30.9 cm works best for me, depending on the tolerances of your printer). Remember to adjust Z height to 100%. For Axolote hexes, you need to scale them down to 32.4 cm and then move 3 mm down (not to print lower part of hex). This is a work in progress and if anyone will be interested I will post more variations of hexes in the future. DOUBLE CHECK IF NEOCUBES ARE 3 MM NOT 5 MM!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yrtfLoCP8o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8QnOHIlr18&t=2s
