Fixed by opening in 3d builder and selecting repair file. Sheep tile 3 all the treetops fall off when printed due to 0 thickness wall in the.

Just a couple comments for others if picking up these models. This was my biggest 3d printing project with my new printer and it went pretty well. Print one tile at a time after it is modelled to ensure it prints correctly Print extras of everything to test your paint colours and techniques on If modelling your own tiles double-check all your measurements for the tiles

Token size - Occasionally, we measured the diameter of the tokens wrong and printed tiles with too little area for the token to fit.

To fix this we changed the model so that all the tops of the trees were connected. However, after printing the first tile we found the top of the tree kept falling off the trunk.

Trees - We originally had the trees all separate from each other.

We added brown shading to the ground but it looked messy instead we decided to paint the whole ground brown and have yellow/gold wheat.

Wheat tiles - The wheat tiles were originally printed yellow, however after painting the wheat fields yellow there was too much yellow in the tile.

To fix this we had to do a light purple dry brush to try and make it purple again. However, the purple basecoat absorbed all of the blacks from the wash and the dragon appeared black.

Dragon - We used a dark purple base coat and a black wash.

Finally, we went over the white with another orange so the combination of both colours seemed to capture the highlights. Instead, we tried a white dry brush which didn't really match the tile.

Brick tiles - The orange dry brush was too light and didn't really highlight anything on the piece.

Overall we think we brought more character to the game but of course, with any project, there are things that go wrong and many things that could be improved.

File and sand the edges of the tiles to remove the flared base.

We would rather have a few minutes of post processing to do on the parts than have a multi-hour print fall of the bed and fail! We deliberately use settings like this to increase the print's adhesion to the print-surface. Bed/nozzle temperature also has an effect. This occurs when the bed is high and/or the bottom layer flow rate is too high.

File and sand the ends of the strings flat.ДЄ flared base is when the bottom few layers of the print flare outwards and are larger than they should be.

Use a sharp hobby knife to remove the bulk of any stringing.

Stringing occurs when the hot nozzle moves to another point within a print-layer and draws out a thin fiber of plastic. The reason we added small circular discs to the tiles was to prevent the corners from lifting and warping. The severity of these issues depend on how well tuned your printer is. When a 3D print is finished printing there are often some small issues with the part that need to be addressed including stringing and a flared base.

1x dragon (we thought a ferocious dragon terrorising the lands was much cooler than a robber).

1x each of the field/grain resource (4 total).

1x each of the forest/lumber tiles (4 total).

1x each of the pasture/wool titles (4 total).

1x each of the mountain/ore tiles (3 total).

1x each of the hill/brick tiles (3 total).

In fact all your tiles can be the same color! However if the filament color is close to the final color of the tile then bad paint-jobs are less noticeable.

Layer height for dragon/cities/settlements/roads: 0.1mm.

Layer height for hex tiles: 0.2mm (you can go lower to get a more detailed print but the time will increase).

Infill: 5% (these are not structurally critical parts).

The amount of 1.75mm PLA filament used was roughly 700 grams. The total time taken to print all the models was around ~80 hours. We 3D printed all our models on our Anycubic i3 Mega.
