OpenForge 2.0 Cut-Stone OpenLOCK Magnetic Base

thingiverse

OpenForge bases now support the OpenLOCK system. You can now use any OpenForge 2.0 internal 1x1, 2x1, 2x2, 2x4 and 4x4 tiles with the OpenLOCK system. We've been in discussions with Printable Scenery and we wholeheartedly endorse this open standard for locking tiles. These Cut-Stone bases are also magnetic. If you want openlock Cut Stone bases without the magnetic holes, we have those as well. For bases with a side that is 1x, we must choose between openlock and magnets. The files listed as "magnetic_priority" prioritize magnets, while the others opt for openlock. It's worth noting that OpenForge is built on a 50 mm basis, and OpenLOCK on an inch basis. The difference on a 2x2 tile is only 0.8 mm. These bases are based on the inch system, but standard openforge tiles work just fine with them. The size disparity is roughly equivalent to the variation you can expect from standard printing errors, so it's entirely imperceptible if you use metric tiles atop imperial bases. That being said, if you find the difference bothersome, you can print scale your x and y by 1.016 and you'll be on the inch scale for the tile as well. For instructions on getting started with OpenForge, we've put together a series of tutorials. Want to sell OpenForge prints? Want to use OpenForge designs in your product? Check out our license FAQ. OpenForge is now a patron-supported project. I utilize the resources that my patrons provide me to create more sophisticated tiles with greater detail. Please support me, and I'll deliver an ongoing stream of fantastic gaming terrain.

This will match between the tile and the base, such as 2x2 or 4x2. 2) The tile shape: square, diagonal, curved 3) The base style: plain, stone, ruined 2) What size basis do you want the tiles to be in? There are three options: 25mm - every square is 25mm on a side. This is compatible with Dwarven Forge. No scaling necessary. inch - every square is 1 inch (25.4 mm). This is compatible with Printable Scenery (OpenLOCK), DragonLOCK and HirstArts. Scale the tile top when you print it by 101.6% in the X and Y axes. wyloch - every square is an inch and a quarter (31.75mm). This is compatible with hero's horde and wyloch tiles. Scale the tile top when you print it by 127% in the X and Y axes. 3) What connection system do you want to use? We offer four connectivity options: Magnetic - uses 5mm spherical magnets, one each along the center of every square on the edge of the tile Magnetic + OpenLOCK - uses 5mm spherical magnets, one each along the center of every square on the edge of the tile. Also has an OpenLOCK connector at the vertex between each square. OpenLOCK - Has an OpenLOCK connector at the vertex between each square. OpenLOCK Triplex - Has an OpenLOCK connector at the vertex between each square, and at the center of each square. 02/02/18 - Diagonals had a bug in their names. The size ended with x4 regardless of the actual size. 10/24/17 - Moved to a new version of the scad file, and uploaded new versions of all bases. Also added 25mm/inch/wyloch versions, and curved and diagonal versions. 4/26/17 - Updated scad to let you turn off openlock 12/31/16 - Added missing bases from OpenLOCK 4.0 (EA, SA, SB) 12/31/16 - Added new OpenLOCK clips 12/31/16 - Updated naming convention to match OpenLOCK
