Twilight Imperium 4th edition 5 player spacers

thingiverse

This is a first version of spacers for creating a symmetrical map for 5 players for Twilight Imperium 4th edition. I know hyperlanes work fine mechanically, but I never liked the psychological aspect of fake distance. With these spacers, you can have the exact same map mechanically, but full symmetrical. You'll need a single print of the center tile which hosts Mecatol. You'll need 10 prints of the half spacer, which fits on my Ender S1 Pro bed (do 5 and 5 mirrored to have matching textures). If you have a large enough bed, you can do with 5 prints of the full spacer. I used default print settings for PLA. I may add a variant with a tiny mecatol center tile if there is demand; it makes for a more compact map, and less printed plastic (but means you have to keep mecatol itself next to the map).
