These rock quite thoroughly! Thank you so much for making these, they’re truly so helpful. I didn’t wanna just glue together regular hex bases nor do I have 3D software knowledge and those damn gaps were killing me.
I plan on using these in tandem with RetroGrade mini prints as well as my own art for things like buildings, turrets, trees, etc! So excited for the possibilities.
I wanted to leave a note for others considering this, if you’re interested in playing on a 1 inch scale rather than the 1.25 battletech scale, you can size these files down to 83% and it’ll be perfect.
Additionally, if you’re printing with resin, you definitely still need to angle them. They’ll print flat alright, but pooling resin on the underside causes some distortion or extra resin where you don’t want it. 45° tilt with light auto supports worked more than fine. It’ll extend print time quite a bit but the quality difference is crazy.
