Ingenious Game Board
Description
We have an ever expanding board game collection, a family game night, and a 3D printed trophy that goes to whoever one the game from the most recent game night. We're board game nerds. Anyway, we recently acquired another game designed by Reiner Knizia named [Ingenious](https://www.amazon.com/Thames-Kosmos-Ingenious-Ultimate-Strategy/dp/B06W52W1CF/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=ingenious&qid=1554822152&s=gateway&sr=8-1). It's a pretty fun strategy game, but we didn't like the game board or the scoring tables. I had some spare time in the last couple weeks to fill with a random fun project, so I worked on making a new board. The basic problem is that you have to lay down hex tiles in a hex grid until you fill up the board. However, the board provided is just a flat piece of cardboard. That's fine until you fat finger the pieces around with a stray thumb by accident and then you have to figure out where everything was before you blew up the board. This board design is split into 6 pieces so that it will fit on a Prusa i3 Mk3 printer. It almost fits as 4 parts, but not quite. I have provided the original OpenSCAD files which provide a function for slicing it into N pieces, so if you have a larger printer, you should be able to print it in fewer if you prefer, though it assumes an even number of pieces, so it will need some patching if you want something else. The print is designed to allow you to perform a simple multi-color print by swapping colors at the proper layer heights. If you have a Prusa or similar printer that handles the M600 filament change gcode, I have provided the pre-sliced and ready to use gcode files sliced at .20mm as well. You can see [my checklist](https://github.com/zostay/ingenious/blob/master/6segment-plan.md) for a description of the colors you'll want. The primary colors I used are: * [Zi-Rui Shining Black Marble PLA](https://www.amazon.com/Printer-Filament-Black-Dimensional-Accuracy/dp/B078RTXYX3/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=black+marble+pla+filament&qid=1554822745&s=gateway&sr=8-3) * [Amolen Marble PLA](https://www.amazon.com/AMOLEN-Printer-Filament-Marble-1-75mm/dp/B0721SVW3L/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=amolen+marble+filament&qid=1554822814&s=gateway&sr=8-3) Then I used the red, blue, green, purple, orange, and yellow filaments I had on hand.
