Ship Construction Remix for Openforge Tiles Utilising Magnets - S.C.R.O.T.U.M.

thingiverse

As this project has grown large enough to build a complete magnetic ship deck by deck, I decided to rename it to Ship Construction Remix for Openforge Tiles Utilizing Magnets - S.C.R.O.T.U.M. Please see the remixed from-files for further instructions on creating the boat of your dreams. Added some pictures; however, the main deck is not yet finished (the aftcastle is resting on a can of tuna). But I think now you can get a better impression of where this is headed. As we are currently playing the Skull & Shackles AP in our Pathfinder group, I wanted to print a ship for our group. I love devonjones's OpenForge pirate ship, but I wanted something more flexible and needed something that I could print on my MPSMv2 and its relatively small printbed. Then I found ProfessorChubbs' boat tiles, but I have to say that I prefer OpenForge's magnetic system. So I cut up some pieces and want to share them. Build the railings like a regular OpenForge floor piece with two 5mm ball magnets; it attaches nicely to the side of a regular wooden floor. The "stairs down" one goes on a 1x1 Openforge magnetic base, using only three magnets and leaving the space next to the lowest part free. You can put some black paper underneath or something. This creates a 2x1 stairs down tile that feels much better than the other options I tried. I didn't get around to test-printing all the things yet; if there are any issues, please feel free to comment. Currently trying to figure out the raised parts for stern- and aftercastle. As of now, it seems to be about three to four weeks of printing per deck when printing about six to eight hours a day on a single printer. One deck measures 21x6 inches (the promise of man from the Wormwood Mutiny). More to come.
