Samurai Table Hockey Player Team

Intended for 3D print.

9 Table Hockey player models, including a goalie. Compatible with classic STIGA table hockey tables. Please read the information further down on this page.
A great alternative if you've lost some of your original figures (as is wont to happen), or if you just want to customize your game with a different type of figures.

The model pack includes six outfield players, and three goalies. You need to print five outfield players and one goalie to make a full team.

Effort has been taken to make the figures as compatible as possible with a standard STIGA table hockey table.

• The mounting holes are dimensioned to fit the sliding rods.
• The hockey stick blades have (approximately) the same length as standard table hockey figures.
• The distance between the mounting hole (i.e the axis) and the tip of the hockey stick blade is approximately the same as standard table hockey figures.

Differences include the following:

• At default scale, the 3d-printable figures are slightly shorter and narrower than standard figures. Some models also have poses that make them distinctly different from standard figures, like the goalie with the raised katana. The goalies also have sashimono banners on their backs, but you can clip these off post-print if they get in the way, give you an unfair advantage, or if you just don't like them.
• There are larger empty spaces between the hockey stick blades and skates of the figures. These spaces are not large enough to let a puck trough, and should have minimal impact on gameplay.
• When printed in common 3d-print materials (PLA, resin et cetera), the 3d-printed figures will be more delicate than standard figures. You should, at the very least, be able to play a couple of games without the sticks or other parts of the figures breaking. But I make no guarantees for the printed figures holding up indefinitely. Good thing you can just print another one if the old one breaks...
• The printed figures will be slightly lighter than standard figures.

PRINTING INSTRUCTIONS

• All models have been prescaled to fit a STIGA table hockey table. Do not significantly alter the default size of the models if you wish to use them as table hockey figures- significantly altering the figures will either make them too small, or too large, to fit on the sliding rods.

• With that said, you may have to make minor alterations to the size. Depending on your hardware (what type of 3d printer you use, what type of filament/resin et cetera), there will be tiny variations in the actual printed size of the figures. The tolerance levels for the mounting hole are very small. So if you discover that your printed figure does not quite fit onto the sliding rod, change the size of the model by a percent or two, and try again. You can also try to widen the mounting hole of a printed figure manually using a scalpel or other instrument.

• It is recommended that you choose a high level of infill. This will make the figure more durable, as well as more closely approximating the weight of standard figures.

• You will need both left-handed and right-handed figures to make a full table hockey team. All models in this pack are right-handed by default. If you want to print a left-handed player instead, use the "Mirror Model" command in your slicer software to flip the model.

If you experience any trouble printing or playing with the models, it would be greatly appreciated if you report this to me.
