Travel 4-In-A-Row Game (Connect Four Clone)

prusaprinters

<p>The kids wanted a Connect Four game they could take with them, so I designed this version with a tray that latches shut and includes storage for the checkers.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>The game board prints standing up. So, if you're using a bed slinger you either need to slow the print down sufficiently, or you'll need a brim for that part (possibly both).</p> <p>You'll need two sets of 21 checkers in two contrasting colors (maybe print a few spares to be safe). I've included a star design and a flower design. You could also make your own by starting with a cylinder that's 20mm diameter by 5mm tall.</p> <h3> Post-Printing</h3> <p>The board slides on two pins in the center top of the base.<strong>You'll need to remove the two, built-in support tabs under the pins before sliding the board on</strong> (the supports should pop right off).</p> <p>After that you need to insert the pin into one corner of the board, at a right angle to the base (similar to how it looks assembled). Next you need to flex the base a bit to insert the pin on the other side into the adjacent bottom corner.</p> <p>Once it's put together you'll probably want to fold the board shut and slide it back and forth a bit, just to smooth out the motion. If the detents are too aggressive, you can knock them down with a little sanding.</p>
