Pocket-Tactics Tile Randomizer

thingiverse

Ever find yourself playing Pocket-Tactics and feeling that convenience is getting in the way of a challenge? I recently had that same thought, wanting to slow down the game and make it less fun by chance. Enter the Tile Randomizer, designed to bring some sanity back into randomization. Just place 20 tiles inside, close the lid, and shake until one pops free - just like using a felt bag, but slower. The thought process was simple, though maybe not so efficient in practice, as there are surely more elegant ways to accomplish this goal, like actually using a small bag. Tile Randomizer The device prints well using Meshmixer's default supports and Makerware's standard setting, taking approximately 11 hours for the whole print job, broken down into 9.5 hours for the base and 1.5 for the lid. As for design, I relied on Sculptris, Tinkercad, and Blender to bring it all together.
