Minimum Build Volume Recommendation:

180mm x 150mm x 140mm

Additional Materials

  • Strong adhesive such as super glue, glue gun or ABS glue/slurry.
  • 2-4 small hinges (1.9cm or smaller)
  • Hot knife
  • Sand Paper. (optional)

Step 1: Board Lids

Print Settings:

Layer Height: 0.3 mm

Supports: Yes

Fill: 10-15%

Fill Pattern: Honeycomb

Assembly

Lid 1: Glue A>B>C

Lid 2: Glue A>B>C

****Helpful Tip******

ABS slurry can be used to blend the seam between the two ABS/PLA pieces that were glued together. Use it like a filler putty to fill in any gaps between the glued parts or even use it to add more material in places that need to be built up. Use sandpaper to smooth out the seams and any rough spots caused by the 3d printer during printing.

ABS Slurry Instructions:

  • Pour 50mL of acetone into a container.
  • Measure out 250g of ABS scrap. ABS juice will be the same color as the material you put in.
  • Snip the scrape filament into small bits to open more surface area to the acetone and allow it to dissolve quicker.
  • Drop the ABS into the acetone and mix it in, this can either be done with a mixing stick or closing the lid and occasionally loosening the lid and burping the fumes it gives off.
  • Let the ABS sit in the acetone for a few hours to ensure all of it dissolves.
  • When fully mixed, your ABS slurry should look like and have the consistency of putty. It should be very goopy.

Step 2: Compartment Coverings

****Design requires 2 of the compartment cover file to be 3D printed****

Print Settings:

Layer Height: 0.3 mm

Supports: No

Fill: 15-20%

Fill Pattern: Rectangular

*Note: Depending on Filament used, sanding of edges may be required.

Assembly

  • With hot knife cut out length and depth of hinges in compartment divider wall. Hinges when closed should allow compartment covering to sit flat.
  • Depending on the type of hinges you are using, glue or screw hinges in place.

Step 3: Bottom of Board

Print Settings:

Layer Height: 0.3 mm

Supports: Yes

Fill: 10-15%

Fill Pattern: Honeycomb

Assembly

  • Glue A>B
  • Glue C>D
  • Glue E>F
  • Glue AB >CD>EF

Step 4: Dowels

Design requires 4 printed dowels.

Print Settings:

Layer Height: 0.2 mm

Supports: Yes

Fill: 100%

Fill Pattern: Rectangular

****Helpful Tip******

Use sandpaper to smooth holes of the game board lids outer hinges and the dowels to make the dowels easier to insert and the lids easier to open and close.
