Description

ENGLISH:

Lightweight, customizable, modular, symetrical, stackable - These are the main properties for my take on snapfit tile grids, whick keep tiles at place.

Fits games like Carcassonne, Karak, Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig and many others.

Standard 3x3 tile grid (45mm) takes about 20 minutes of printing and weights just 4-5 grams (+-0.1€), while still being sturdy enough.

Many layouts available - from 1x1 to 2x4 to 3x3 to 1x5 to 6x6. Easily snaps together in any rotation.  Also a special layout: 4x4 45 mm combined with 2x2 90 mm.

Currently available for 30x30, 45x45, 60x60 mm and 3 inch square tiles.
If you need any other tile size - even rectangular, please write a comment or message me. I will be happy to add it here, at short notice.

 

Optimal tile grid layout count for base Carcassonne and Karak - 45mm tiles (around 100 tiles):

  • 4x2 - 4x (32 tiles)
  • 4x1 - 4x (16 tiles)
  • 3x3 - 9x (81 tiles)
  • 3x1 - 4x (12tiles)
  • 2 tile stackers
  • and others up to your preference

Print settings (found in .3mf file):

  • Prusa Slicer 2.6.0 is highly recommended
  • small tile separators (crosses) should be made from two lines → Settings - advanced - arachne perimeter generator - minimum perimeter width - 60% (for 0.4mm nozzle)
  • 3 perimeters
  • up to 0.3 mm layer height
  • 0 top and bottom layers
  • 15% honeycomb (hexagonal infill)
  • minimum sparse infill treshold -> 50mm2 (Bambu Studio: Strength → Advanced, Prusa Slicer: Infill → Advanced)
  • small tile separators (crosses) should be printed really slow, other speed settings don't really matter (I used 100mm/s)

SLOVENČINA:
Mriežka na kartičky pre hry ako Carcassonne, Karak, Mezi dvěma zámky šíleného krále Ludvíka a podobné hry.

Mriežky su významne odľahčené, vďaka čomu vyjde jedna 3x3 mriežka pre 45mm kartičky na cca 20minút tlače a ledva 10 eurocentov.

Mriežky sú stohovateľné a sú navrhnuté tak, aby do seba zapadali vo všetkých smeroch.

V prípade potreby viem rýchlo upraviť a nahrať mriežky pre kartičky iných rozmerov. Momentálne sú dostupné rozmery 30x30, 45x45, 60x60 mm a 3 palce.

Pre hry Carcassonne a Karak - 45mm kartičky (v základe cca 100 kartičiek) odporúčam nasledujúce kombinácie:

  • 4x2 - 4x (32 kartičiek)
  • 4x1 - 4x (16 kartičiek)
  • 3x3 - 9x (81 kartičiek)
  • 3x1 - 4x (kartičiek)
  • 2 stohovače
  • ďalšie podľa potreby

Nastavenia tlače (v .3mf súbore):

  • Prusa Slicer 2.6.0
  • rozdelovacie krížiky by mali byť tvorené dvoma perimetrami → Settings - advanced - arachne perimeter generator - minimum perimeter width - 60%
  • 3 steny
  • výška vrstvy do 0.3mm
  • 0 vrchných aj spodných plných vrstiev
  • 15% honeycomb (šesťuholníková) výplň
  • prahová oblasť s výplňou 50mm2 (Výplň - Pokročilé)
  • rozdeľovacie krížiky odporúčam tlačiť pomaly, zvyšok dielu išiel na 100mm/s.

Great idea, unfortunately, I don't know how to slice it in Orca/BS so the separators (little crosses) have support printed below it...

Oh, thank you for noticing. Gave me a hard time remembering and finding it but: Prusa Slicer: Print settings -> Infill -> Advanced -> Solid infill treshold area -> 50mm2 Bambu Studio: Strength -> Advanced -> Minimum sparse infill treshold -> 50mm2

Just so evrulybody knows - yes this setting works in Prusa Slicer, but not in current versions of BS or Orca. I've created a bug report for both.

yep I also noticed it, however it does at least this structure on the topmost layer with infill, which I think will suffice also cudos for making the report

Thank you for the model, can you add a holder for it? Height for 12pcs of the grid.

what kind of holder do you have in mind? I added profile for tile stacker as shown in pictures (the stl file can be found in raw models) it is designed for exactly 12pcs, otherwise, you can also scale it in slicer by 150% to fit 18pcs, etc if you want something else, let me know
