Wall/Grid pattern

thingiverse

A gaming tile system with a square grid is provided by this OpenSCAD module library. It caters specifically to games like Pathfinder and D&D, where a 1" grid is preferred. However, since most Thingiverse users are metric-based, the pattern set generates 26mm grid spaces for wider compatibility. Walls in the system measure 4mm thick and are placed between grid spaces rather than within them for optimal physical wall functionality in games like D&D. The library consists of "walls" and "posts," with posts designed to secure walls by fitting at their ends, increasing rigidity. The wall module includes recesses intended for post modules' reception and a protrusion on the bottom meant for plate modules. The top pocket is not for another wall but for a thin extension from the plate bottoms, enabling multi-level construction of buildings or dungeons. Plate modules hold sockets for wall module bottom protrusions and have smaller protrusions to allow easy stacking. These plates are designed to lift easily without affecting underlying structures due to their non-intrusive fit. The plates also feature round indentations for placement of furniture-style items. The remaining tasks include code cleanup, sideways interlocking mechanisms for plates, facade wall support, potential buttress walls, and plate alignment bumps. After thorough playtesting, the Thing will be considered complete, providing a set of libraries defining basic components. Future additions to the design include facades with miniature attachment points, rooftop modules, doors, windows, long walls, large plates, and tall walls. Some of these may be designed as parametric libraries for customization options. Before printing, ensure the variables BASEA and BASEB are adjusted for desired scaling. The library is available on Github for version control purposes.
