HexaTile

prusaprinters

<p>HexaTile's designed for tabletop gaming. Hexagon bases connect through magnets or printed plastic parts. Inspired by MagHex and compatible with other pre-existing tiles! Let me say I love the MagHex system as I am sure many of you already do but I wanted to further develop it with your suggestions and feedback.<br><br>This project is not a remix but a remake from scratch with a few things that give it a chance to be competitive against the already great MagHex tile system. Such as the option to use 3D Printed plastic parts rather than magnets. Magnets are great if you want a quicker game setup but cost more. Now you have the option to use either or with no need to reprint any parts.&nbsp;</p><pre><code class="language-plaintext">Printed @ 0.15 and 0.20 layer heights with success in PLA and ASA.&nbsp; 0% Infill was needed for me on all parts. Top and bottom fill pattern ‘Concentric’ 3 Perimeters Seam Position Aligned Recommend printing 'Output options:' set to enable ‘Complete individual objects:’ with a height clearance of 14mm my clearance ‘Radius:’ is set to the default 45mm CAUTION: Layout x9 HexaTile bases on the print bed in a way to avoid the printer extruder cables in sort of a diagonal stagger. These recommendations were tested for a Prusa MK3/S/S+ </code></pre><h3>Features</h3><ul><li>Compatible with <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3530085">MagHex</a> and other terrain tiles from other authors i.e. <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/12115-terrain-overlay-tiles-for-gloomhaven">Terrain Overlay Tiles For Gloomhaven</a> or <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3610790">MagHex Walls for Gloomhaven</a></li><li>Magnets are quicker to set up and clean up; or use plastic connectors its cheaper</li><li>Upgrading to magnets can be done whenever and if ever</li><li>When and if using magnets four minimum is required</li><li>Supports cylindrical magnets 3x3mm or 6x3mm</li><li>A base that supports more than one hexagonal shape; for example, <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3097873">Gloomhaven tree</a></li><li>Locks down to metal surfaces even better with magnets</li></ul><h3>Planned</h3><ul><li>Modifications to all existing bases</li><li>Magnet bases that support other magnet sizes including other shapes</li><li>Easy-to-follow written and video instructions</li><li>More photos</li><li>Verified magnet source from aliexpress</li><li>Storage, if this project is downloaded over 500 times with 20 likes I will create a compact storage case but for now, you can use the <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3671275">MagHex Storage</a></li></ul><h3>Recent Updates</h3><ul><li><i>11/21/2022</i><br>&nbsp;- dimension pdf file added<br>&nbsp;- added makes in the placement of photos for HexaTile for example usage<br>&nbsp;</li><li><i>11/20/2022</i><br>&nbsp;- printed out enough tiles for the first scenario photos using some magnets and mostly plastic connectors<br>&nbsp;- thread edited with new print information and photo of example usage; temporarily set as the photo cover; new tags<br>&nbsp;</li><li><i>11/13/2022</i><br>&nbsp;- simplifying the post for HexaTile<br>&nbsp;- removed print-ready files; if someone needs something tweaked, I prefer to assist them based on a photo of their results. If needed, I can share print-ready files<br>&nbsp;</li><li><i>11/12/2022</i><br>&nbsp;- updated all base models to increase the depth of the connector/magnet inserts; they should now fit better<br>&nbsp;- updated the plastic connectors' height<br>&nbsp;- print-ready files for MK3S+ ASA with a 0.40mm Nozzle have been added (default)<br>&nbsp;- replaced .3mf file with .STL Binary high refinement direct from Fusion 360; easier for me to maintain at this time but can give .3mf file if needed</li></ul><p>This is where I really need your help. I need feedback and suggestions in order to get these prints really tuned up for everyone's printers and needs, especially Gloomhaven players.</p><p>More plans will start to develop as we go, give this a try and let me know what's needed. Including editing graphics and this thread. I don't have any plans to release this on another platform at the moment I started with Prusa and would love to support them when possible.<br><br>Join me on <a href="https://discord.gg/W5SWSnNYp5">discord</a> if you want to get more engaged with this project, perhaps as a tester this would be very helpful for me if you have an interest in this project already.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Thanks, really appreciate you all stopping in to check out this project!!</p>
