OpenForge 2.0 Corner Construction Kit

thingiverse

This is the foundational project for OpenForge CornerConstruction Kit. It only contains the basic elements (stone and plain) used in the construction kit to build corner tiles. This project will be updated as new fundamental styles of corners, corner parts, and floors become available. Select a base, then click on the links below to choose a floor style and a corner style or construct a corner using corner parts. Prime, paint, (add magnets and filament rivets if desired) and glue. For instructions on how to get started with OpenForge, we have a set of tutorials. Want to sell OpenForge prints? Want to use OpenForge designs in your product, check out the license FAQ. OpenForge is now a patron-supported project. I use the resources my patrons provide me to get the resources needed to create more complex tiles with a higher level of detail. Please support me, and I will deliver an ongoing stream of awesome gaming terrain. You can find more about OpenForge and Masterwork Tools at our: Online catalog and backer site Website Forums (Mostly we use Facebook now) Twitter Facebook Post-Printing Pre-assembly tips: 1) Most printers create a slight lip on the first layer, as plastic is squeezed. You will want to use a razor to cut that off from both the floor tile and the wall or else it can create a small gap. 2) I find painting tiles as pieces much faster than doing it post-assembly. I prime them as parts, paint them as parts, and only after that do I glue the piece together. 3) Make batches of bases. I find printing, painting, and assembling floor tiles + floor bases in batches and assembling those without a wall back really useful. They tend to be faster to paint and print than the backs, so it's easy to have a pile ready as I make new backs to go on them. Assembly 1) Put magnets in the base. You won't need them on one side for this step (where the wall will be) 2) Glue the floor to the base, using the wall to space it appropriately. I use cyanoacrylate glue (Super Glue) 3) Clamp 4) In a few minutes, unclamp and add the last set of magnets and then the back, gluing on the bottom and where it meets the floor. 5) Reclamp Assembly (multi-part corner back) If you want to put together a corner back instead of fusing one of the ones that are already built (say like a corner with a window and a door, or corner with a door and a wall), You will need three pieces (with one exception for cut-stone, see below). 1) A Pillar 2) A left corner piece 3) A right corner piece You will probably want to dry fit them first on a base with a floor piece already glued to it. Then, remove everything but the left side of the corner back, put glue on the pillar piece and glue it to the left corner piece. Dry fit the right corner piece while the glue is still setting so that you can adjust the pillar as needed to make the whole back fit snugly with the base. Finally, glue on the right corner back piece. In the case of doing a cut-stone corner, where one side is a wall, and the other side is a special piece (arrow slit, window, door, etc), rather than using a pillar, you can use one of the cut-stone wall backs from the wall construction kit. Also when doing cut stone, with the pillar or the wall back, after the glue has set, I suggest using the glue to fill in every other crack between the pillar and the connecting wall so that it appears to have the stone blocks still meeting the back and forth pattern of those walls.
