Pieces for board games in any size and any count – the ones a bought game is always two short of. Ten shapes, every dimension free, with an optional recess underneath for a washer or a magnet.
Enter players and pieces per player and the generator gives you the material and the machine time for the whole set, calculated for a combined print rather than piece by piece.
| Cylinder, disc | The neutral markers: territory, ownership, score. Print fast, stack well. |
| Cone, tower | Directional pieces – a cone shows which way a unit faces without any printed arrow. |
| Meeple shape | Reads as a person at a glance. Slightly slower to print because of the shoulders. |
| Prism | Three to eight sides. Useful when players need to tell pieces apart by touch, not colour. |
| Ring | Goes over another piece to mark a state – poisoned, upgraded, captured – without replacing it. |
Every shape can carry a recess underneath, for a washer or a magnet. A weighted piece stands where you put it; an unweighted printed piece slides when the table is bumped. Allow 0.1–0.2 mm clearance for magnets and 0.3–0.4 mm for washers, and glue them – never press them in, because a pressed magnet in a printed pocket works its way out over a season of play.
If you use magnets across a whole set, keep the polarity the same for every piece. Two pieces with opposite poles push each other apart in the storage case, and it is a nuisance you only notice after printing forty of them.
All shapes stand on their own base and print without supports. For a set of sixteen or more, print them together on one bed: setting up the machine costs more than the parts do, and the time shown for the set already assumes a combined print.
TPU is worth considering for pieces that will be handled by children or dropped a lot – it does not chip. It is slower and needs a direct drive, and small text on a TPU piece will not be readable.
