I printed this Cornhole boards the ONLY thing I would ask for is that the edges be removed so it would be just like the full size. So you are not sure that your bag will stay on the board. I know when we play one of us always try to knock off the other players bags to lessen their score Thanks0

The edges were added since the bags slip off the sides too easily without it. I adjusted the height of that edge so that it plays very similar to normal cornhole, where a bag can partially hang off without falling, but you can still knock it off. Tested a few different heights until i found one that i thought was best, but its certainly a judgement call

If you feel like its a little to hard to knock other players bags off, you can cut off some of the edge in your slicer using the Cut option!

Great model! I would recommend supports on the bottom board for the leg pivot points! Still worked just not as smooth as it could have been!

checked this too late, make it 3rd vote for supports on the legs. My fault for trusting someone else's 3mf I guess but I would expect more from such a high cost designer.

Colby G

These type of designs require good printer tolerances, so its hard to make a 3mf that works for everyone! Apologies for that. Will take another look at the clearances asap

definitely has a floating section on the legs, not a tolerance issue. works fine once supported. funny thing is that if you look at the opposite side of the leg, top part when printing, it is perfectly flat and would be perfect for print in place but the bottom has a indent causing a floating section.

Colby G

The legs needs that indent for it to fold out correctly and not "collide" with the back of the board. So yes using supports is definitely the way to go

Do you use the catapult for all the bags. I'm asking because wouldn't you need to move the board to shoot it

Colby G
ForgeCore

You would definitely need to move the board to use the catapult, but that's some of the fun of it!

Is there a way to print the legs separately and then snap them into place? It takes over six hours to print the base, and I broke one of the legs trying to get it to rotate 😭

Colby G
ForgeCore

Yes, the supports mentioned in the instructions do need to be removed.

I don’t have the legs available as separate parts, since the model is designed to be printed in place so they can rotate properly. You _could _try splitting the file in your slicer, but there isn’t a snap-on option. When freeing the legs, remove the supports carefully and gently work the legs loose a little at a time—slow wiggling usually helps avoid breakage.

TJ

Also, are you supposed to remove the small amount of supports mentioned in the instruction document?

Hey, I was considering printing this, but I would like to know how much filament this model uses and whether it can fit on an A1 Mini, as well as if it could work scaled down. Thank you! The model looks really cool! If I end up printing it, I will definitely leave a review.

Colby G
ForgeCore

Hi! I don’t have the exact filament amounts but I can check on it. It will not fit on the A1 mini and I would not suggest scaling it at all as the tolerances wouldn’t scale well.

Please share any tips for gently loosening the legs. Two prints thus far, four broken legs despite being as careful as I can. Eventually it gets to a point where each leg stays stationary forever or breaks rather than turning on any axis.

Colby G
ForgeCore

If the legs aren't coming out easily, then it sounds like there may be an over-extrusion issue. I would check your nozzle for any wear and give it a good cleaning, and check all of the hot end screws to make sure none of them are loose. I also suggest making sure your filament calibration is turned on at the start of the print

Can you please share the springs you used, or the dimensions of them?

Colby G
ForgeCore

I used the springs from 2 g2 pilot pens that I had on hand. Most pen springs should fit though

Two things:

  1. How do you play with two boards and catapults? They have to face each others to shoot but they would be inclined the wrong way, i guess you would use one to shoot at the other and that's it, but then isn't it better to just have a separate catapult?
  2. For the pen spring, you can use an elastic to pull the trigger open instead of pushing so you just need 4 elastics instead of 2 elastics and 2 pen springs! You just need to make a notch
Colby G

You play normally by throwing it! and then if you want to for your last bag, you can use the catapult!

Great model! I've got a quick question about loading the .3mf into PrusaSlicer. I see that it has the multi-material option triggered, but I can't see any indication of a filament change in the sliced preview. Any advice for use with PrusaSlicer? Btw I have a MK3S+ which is just big enough for the model, and I have an MMU2S that I just haven't built yet but I would for this, unless its not too many manual filament changes. Please let me know :)

Colby G

HI! the 3mf is meant for bambu or orca slicer. To color it in a different slicer you just need to use that slicers built in painting tools

The shooting mechanism doesn’t work. It’s disappointing to pay for a model that doesn’t work.

Colby G
ForgeCore

Hi! What part is not working for you? The launching tray? Or the release lever? We can definitely help you and get it working for you, just need some info about what you’re having trouble with

G

I actually just got it working. Dan helped me, and it turned out that I needed a stronger rubber band.

For some reason I am unable to take the bean bags off the printing plate. I have a Bambu lab a1 mini. Any suggestions?

Colby G
ForgeCore

Too stuck? Sounds like your bed adhesion is really good. If you use your scraper they should pop right off

Are there any assembly instructions anywhere??

Colby G
ForgeCore

Yes! When you download the files there is an assembly instruction PDF with in-depth instructions !

I didn't even think to look in the folder, so used to videos. LOL Figured it out on my own anyway! :)
