All About That Base (Patreon)
Content
- Added supports to OpenLOCK bays. The original supports that Printable Scenery published, I was never happy with, they were as prone to causing a print to fail as they were to help, but after many revisions, I think they supports they have today are quite good. I've used them before on some bases and tiles, but today I'm updating all the bases to have them.
- Added concave curved bases. I still need to get concave curved floors out, which will also enable you to make curved tiles that sit on a square base. Cut stone had support for these type of curved walls, and I think we really need support for them in Dungeon Stone (and moving forward).
- Added a bevel at the bottom of the bases so that they don't "elephant foot" on the first layers. I personally find it irritating that I need to run a hobby knife over the bottom of every base I print just to get rid of the lip that can from on the first few layers. That should no longer be a problem with the new bezel.
- Files organized into zip files. With 707 bases (more on that in a moment), the bases were starting to get completely crazy to download and organize. Now I have them in zip files on dropbox and on thingiverse.
- All base sizes and locking mechanisms got: curved 4x4 notch, and the 6x6 & 8x8 a, b & c bases.
Now for the even larger announcement. This is not yet public, as I still need to print some tiles for photoing and to manage the releases with the respective facebook groups, but I've added support for BOTH Dragonlock (Fat Dragon Games) and Infinitylock (Dungeonworks). Both sets now have normal bases and magnetic bases in the inch tile sizes. Currently, we are only supporting Inch for both of these due both to licensing, and also because the tiles they are compatible with are only in inch, so no reason to add more complexity. Infinitylock gets a base for every single tile shape and size. Dragonlock (due to it's design) gets a base for every tile shape and size that comes in a multiple of 2 (so 2x2, 2x4, 4x2, 4x4). In total, this means we have created or updated a whopping 707 bases to get prepared for this release.
So as a summary, here is what is now supported:
- Magnetic: 25mm, Inch & Wyloch
- OpenLOCK: 25mm, Inch & Wyloch
- Magnetic + OpenLOCK: 25mm, Inch & Wyloch
- OpenLOCK Triplex: 25mm, Inch & Wyloch
- Dragonlock: Inch
- Dragonlock + Magnetic: Inch
- Infinitylock: Inch
- Infinitylock + Magnetic: Inch
All of these bases are available to you now via Dropbox. The traditional sets (magnetic, openlock and the combinations) are also available on Thingiverse. We will be announcing these hopefully this week as I get some of Fat Dragon Games' and Dungeonworks' tiles printed and painted so I can photo OpenForge tiles working with them.
