Hi there, I’m a Tantrix fan and I want to share my passion with you. Tantrix is an amazing game that challenges your mind, delights your eyes and feels great in your hands. It was invented in 1987 by Mike McManaway, a mathematician from New Zealand who loved the beauty of nature.Tantrix is made of hexagonal tiles that each have three lines in different colors. The goal is to connect the tiles so that you create long loops of the same color. But be careful, you can’t leave any gaps or conflicts.You can play Tantrix by yourself or with others and choose how many tiles you want to use. There are different ways to play Tantrix that require different skills and strategies. You can find the game rules here: (Rules)If you are like me and you want to print your own Tantrix set, you are in luck. I have designed a 3D model for the game that you can print with a 3D printer. The tiles are already colored and placed correctly, so you don’t have to worry about that. Note: The case for the game, as shown in the pictures, will be uploaded soon in different sizes Stay tuned! Here are some tips and information for printing:I suggest splitting the tiles into four print beds like this:Bed 1:    Tile 1-14Bed 2:    Tile 15-23 and 31-35Bed 3:    Tile 24-30 and 36-42Bed 4:    Tile 43-56This way, each bed only has four colors at a time, which saves a lot of print time and makes it easier.You can also separate each tile into its parts, if you can’t print it in multiple colors (but watch out for the tolerances!).The files are in multi-colored 3mf format. Each file has multiple bodies, which are named after their color (for example: Line 1 / Yellow).At tile 48 and above, you can solve the puzzle in all four colors per number, which is why the numbers are white.If you only have a four-color printer, you can just color them in the slicer in more than one color, which should show that any color is possible.
