May I ask what your method was for getting magnets into the pieces where the board piece is printed with the log?
did you add magnets on the tray and under each piece?
The magnets I am using are 6mmX2mm. I am adding negative space to each log piece at a Z height of 1 mm, and a g code pause in the print file(between layer 19 and 20) so I can add the magnets inside the log and then continue printing around them. Modified my squares by adding a cut seam where the peg meets the back of the square. Then merge, then add a new cut seam 2mm high (the height on my magnet), then merge again, then split to objects and deleted the 2mm peg piece, as that is going to be replaced by my 2mm magnet. Then I put the floating peg piece in the hole first, magnet on top of it and glue the square over it :)
Love it! The filament choice for the mushrooms is excelent!
I used a heat gun on the textured side of log piece 8 (on the high spot) for 30 seconds and then pressed it (hot side down) on a cool flat surface until it was level. You can't even tell I did it :)
Do logs 1 & 8 sit level on your version? ForgeCore model, everyone mentions that those two ends sit higher, making pieces fall since they tilt. Do you have identical files? Or could this vary, as your images don't appear to have that same concern.
hey, the files are identical! There is a update on this hopefully coming soon!
The logs looks hard to print. should they be printed vertically? in the same orientation when the stl is imported? This makes for a very small base and a very tall piece, which doesn't seem very stable. I have bambu lab a1 mini and prusa MK3, i would like to be able to print it. Maybe i can print the log horizontally flat on the bed?
A horizontal version is in the making right now!
any updates on this?
Not yet :(
I printed it horizontally, looks great
Did you need supports when you printed horizontally?
This printed really great and the fit is excellent. Mushroom and bark quality is incredible. I wonder if a multi material version of the board could be created where the square colors are done by the machine instead of glueing them in.
Thanks! A multi color version is in the making!
any update for this?
It is still in the making, there are some difficulties getting the details right...
Multi color caps are now in the 3MF file!
Hi, i saw from ForgeCore that there is a version with multicolored top and bottom caps! Honestly i tought this was the same but i don't find them in the .3mf files... any chance you can provide them? Thank you :)
there is a update coming soon on this with even more parts and versions!
thank you so much for the reply, i hope you will release it soon, i want to print directly that version, i only need the multicolored cap piece to finish it!
I reached out to get the cap files before the update, saw your mail! Will keep you updated :)
Thank you so much! can't wait 😁
I am also interested for the multicolored caps
Multi color caps are now in the 3MF file!
Yayy!
