RifRaf Terraforming Mars Tiles Storage

thingiverse

This is adapted from an excellent design by JimmyJammer Terraforming Mars trays, thanks! Added Sept 2019: A top and base with five bays were added. Note: If you are having trouble printing due to PLA curling up along the long sides, slow your print speed down to 20-40% total print speed at the printer and try again. These have never failed at that speed for me. I printed two four-bay and one three-bay trays. They hold the following RifRaf TM tiles: 33 Trees, 16 Generic Cities (printed eight regular and eight mirrored), 11 Special cities, 11 Card Cities, nine Ocean tiles, five Venus Next Tiles, one Colonies Tile, one Prelude Tile, and four Bonus Tiles. A total of 91 RifRaf TM FULL Tile SET is held by the trays. If you print and stack the cities as shown in the picture that says "91 Tiles," the full set will fit, as indicated. I am not sure if any other way will work to hold all the tiles. The full tray set printed fine without supports, just slow down the speed. Jan 2019: In the main section, Nuke and Gyropolis SMALLER tiles were uploaded for use with storage bins. These tiles fit much better in that case. It is made like the original files to fit magnets 6mm in diameter by 1mm deep, but this has not been tried yet. I printed on a Prusa Mk2S using PLA with a .40 Nozzle at .15mm layer height without supports. However, note that if you printed the ORIGINAL Nuke and Gyropolis, it was necessary to use a solder iron to melt out four spots in a base and top for the tiles. Updated smaller Nuke and Gyropolis tiles were posted to fix this issue. Also, magnets have not been added yet, so their effect on the design is unknown. Printed with detect bridges enabled, but no supports were used. I made 4 bay, 3 Bay, 2 Bay, and 1 bay storage trays, highlighted with labels and bases. These can be printed without supports and stacked in the following combinations: a 4 on a 5, a 3 on a 4, a 2 on a 3, and a 1 on a 2. Two 1s will not stack on a 3. The 1 bay is probably unstable to stand on its own, but it is included for potential use. The trays fit the RifRaf Tiles snugly; their suitability for other tiles is unknown. I will print soon and post pictures, as it looks good so far, but print at your own risk because I have not yet done so.
