Hello to the Solution? Sub 300 usd printer, 16 usd kilos of pla (~330 meters, each corner tile at 30% infil which is spec approx 1 meter), 1.25 scale squares.
Check Check and Check!
I could make it happen, I think I could pull it all together next week.
Edit: Wyloch's Youtube video says it all about 1.25 scale:

I am guessing that he wants to make his own "Wyloch" style tiles. I think that is the gist of this post. 30% infill seems like overkill to me for dungeon tiles though.

Yes Wyloch style tiles. 30% infill is what devonjones recommends. Maybe it is too much, 20% enough? After thinking about the wall thickness, I am not sure if a 1/4 inch wall will be strong enough if printed 1 1/4 inch lxw.
Sorry if my post was loopy, I was a bit loopy at the time. Picking up a printer this weekend, a 1.25 inch scale crystal castle may be first up!

I print my tiles and miniatures anywhere between 10% and 15% infill with no problems at all. It might not seem like much but even with 10% infill, its honeycombed throughout and plenty of strong enough for dungeon tiles. Unless you plan on stepping on your tiles, you don't really need any more than 10%. They will be strong enough you should never break one.

I bet one could dremel/route out 4 holes on the bottom of an OpenForge tile and glue gun in place like 4 to 8 pennies per tile? That'd give it some nice heft.

As my printer is still a week or so away, I am having my guy print up a prototype. The platonic ideal may soon be of this world!

I am working with another guy to print a prototype to the correct dimensions as so: And he has already printed 2 test units with transparent blue using the original dimensions. The left is 10% infill and the right is 5%: The layers help make it "icy."

^ Are those DMG style tiles?

Those are 3d printed openforge smooth corners. Wall on, but they are still 1 inch/50mm scale. The 1.25 scale ones are not.yet printed. But I enjoy the smooth ice transparent blue filament. And my daughter loves it!

These are prototypes of the dimensions of the tile (the measurements are pretty close too). I chopped up some 2.5d 1.25 inch scale tile I made awhile back: You lose 20% table space, but the extra room and precision is a luxury. Nice To me the pure luxury is the walls are effectively paper thin, just like the paper thin walls on graph paper when we drew up dungeons in the 80's. It's so quick and easy to set up a dungeon Really tempted to switch to these but I want Tilescapes and Hirst ARts compatibility.
