Those of us printing tiles all know Devon Jones and his Open Forge tiles. His tiles are free on Thingiverse and will be remaining so, but we all know that designing/editing these tiles takes time. Today he started a Patreon campaign and plans to rework all of his current tile sets and future ones to be interlocking tiles for greater functionality. I personally think his work is great and am going to support him. Below is the Patreon link if anyone is interested. He told me last week that he has a new tile set that he will be releasing shortly called Cut Stone. www.patreon.com/masterworktools?ty=hBtw, after contributing I noticed his next goal. I think that will be pretty awesome. Layout a room or small dungeon and then download and print the packs. Nothing we cant do on our own but will be nice having an app to do some of the work for you. |

Love the new set! It blows the other ones out of the water. I am curious if I should try to scale things up to 62.5mm for the Wylock effect. I wonder if the magnet will be strong enough at the scale. I suppose there is only one way to find out!

Z on the walls, but not the floors I think.

Sorry if my posts are confusing. Below was my original idea:  However, with the magnets being alinged a certain way I am not sure if scaling the X and Y axis up 25% on the 2x2 and 4x4 floor bases will result in not aligning magnets. I don't plan on making the floors thicker, but I do plan to make the walls taller (so the corner is in effect a half cube). However, making walls 62.5mm tall may be too high? The idea is to be able to stack and make multi-floor structures, so I guess I will need to prototype some out. Wylochs concept is very attractive to me, and I am phasing out my DF tile, so why not? |

Made an alternative base for OpenForge 2.0 tiles. Details here: www.thingiverse.com/thing:1427451Summary from Thingiverse: This is an alternative base for the new OpenForge 2.0 tiles. Devon Jones says we can design our own bases for his new stone cut tiles as long as each tile is 25mm x 25mm and 6mm tall. So here is a base meeting those requirements as an alternative to the magnet bases. Just hot glue up to three pennies per hole and enjoy the extra weight and stability -- even just 4 pennies helps significantly. I haven't printed this yet but it should work fine. How about try printing one to see how it lines up. Try using variable amount of pennies in the hole to have the tile your desired weight. Once I get some feedback on these, I'll work on all the other sizes, and add all of them to this Thing's files. I did some calculations and while those magnets are awesome for things sticking together, they come to like 50 cents per 2x2 tile just for the magnets. Whereas this base solution only costs between 4 to 12 cents for all that additional and wonderful stabilizing weight. |
