![]() Thanks, Euclid!įinally, some finishing touches. In the attached image, you can see my makeshift compass, for scribing a large enoughĬircle, and you can also make out the circles that I drew to help me perfectly scribe the hexagon. Hexagon to encompass the front of the board and cushion the back of the pieces. Next, I added felt to the back of the board, and a felt ![]() Solution to the wall-mounting problem, I decided to live with this drawback. Since this was the best and most attractive The pieces are attached to the board they have to be removed and set up again separately on a different surface. Designed as such, you can’t play a game of Catan while The indents on the pieces that were originally designed to hold “road” tiles while playing the game. The one big downside of the aluminum strip design is that, although they look very good when all the pieces are mounted, the aluminum loops block some of That’s all a bit convoluted to explain, so hopefully the pictures do a good job of demonstrating the idea. The flexibility of the aluminum and mount the strips in such a way that I could push a piece into place between two of the strips, where it would be held firmly in Is simple, functional, and very attractive: cutting strips of aluminum into small sections and bending them into a shape with an eyebolt-like cross-section, I could use Ultimately, I settled on a design that I think How to mount the pieces to the board? I thought about several potential solutions: magnets, velcro, sticky stuff. The biggest design challenge to tackle right off the bat was, Prominently, turning it into a cool piece of prominent, focal wall art. However, I recently realized that what would be really cool would be to create a mountable board to display the project I had originally wanted to create a nice box for it, with foamĪnd felt interior to protect the pieces. However,įor the last couple years, it has been moving around from various shelves, boxes, and cupboards. Some background - I’ve invested a lot of time and effort into creating a 3D printed Catan set, which I learned a lot from and am really proud of. Note: this is Part 3 of my 3D printed Catan project: Part 1 can be found here, and Part 2 can be found here.
