OpenForge 2.0 Weldable Base

thingiverse

This is my spin on a customizable base for the amazing OpenForge 2.0 dungeon tiles from devonjones. While it's all my own code from scratch, it heavily builds upon his OpenForge 2.0 Cut Stone Magnetic Base with some of my own features. I love the idea behind the filament saver base, but always find that slicers struggle with thin walls unless they're perfectly modeled for your specific setup. This design prints just like the filament saver base but lets your slicer slice the walls to perfection for your configuration. Hence, this is designed to print with a ~0.5mm+/- floor and NO ROOF and NO INFILL. Seriously, try it and your printer will print it smoother and faster using very little filament. You can still print it with roof and infill if you want more glue surface, but check out the heat welding below. The decorative cuts that make the edge look like blocks slow down printing a bit, so I made them optional to turn off. An inset ledge that gives a slight shadow line between the base and the tile is also optional in size and depth from none to 1mm. I didn't see the advantage of the magnet eject hole, so it's optional too. I prefer to heat weld (i.e. melt) my bases to the tiles instead of gluing, so this has optional welding tabs to take it from a three-handed to two-handed job. Simply take a cheap fine-tipped soldering iron and just tap the tabs slightly to melt them to the bottom of the base. It doesn't take much. There is a Patreon page for OpenForge which many of us who are enjoying these creations are supporting. Completely optional, and I get nothing from it, but I highly encourage you to check it out and support the project if you can.
