This is a detailed guide on printing custom tiles for the popular board game Ticket to Ride. The author has shared their experience and techniques for printing high-quality tiles using a Prusa i3 MK2 3D printer. Here are some key points from the guide: 1. **Printing settings**: The author used PLA filament, a 4mm nozzle, and a layer height of 0.150mm with 15% cubic infill. 2. **Tile design**: The tiles were designed to include various features such as roads, fields, cities, and cloisters. 3. **Painting**: The author painted the tops of farm and city houses, volcano and portal tiles, festival tents, and garden squares using different colors. 4. **Printing issues and tips**: The author encountered issues with layer rendering in Slic3r, which were resolved by rotating the affected tile 90 degrees on the plate and reslicing. 5. **Inlay trick**: The author used a "poor man's inlay trick" to create a nice inlay effect by printing the base layer with one color and then flowing the next few layers into the space. 6. **Concentric fill pattern**: The author used a concentric fill pattern on the bottom of the tiles to achieve a scattered look similar to the original tiles. The guide also includes some tips for achieving a 3D look in areas such as fields, city floors, and cobblestone effects using different color materials. Overall, this is a comprehensive guide that provides valuable information for anyone interested in printing custom tiles for Ticket to Ride or other board games.
