Just played a game of #hextraction with @oobisan ! It was quite fun!

#3Dprinting

#Hextraction looks quite interesting. But does anyone know where to find official measurement for tiles? Would help designing ones own tile ideas.

Also I've been #3dprinting a bunch of #Hextraction ( https://www.playhextraction.com/ ) tiles/boards and #Easy13 ( https://www.printables.com/model/555170-easy-13-printable-jointed-figure ) poseable figures to sell at the local swap meet.

Going to try a "pay what you can" type pricing with a suggested amount. It's an experiment!

And he did want it, but just didn't really have room. So we split the cost and it lives at my place (it's currently printing #hextraction tiles for him). Of course I could not be arsed to schlep SD cards between three printers, so I pulled an old PC out of my parts graveyard, tossed Debian & Docker on it, and setup Octoprint instances for each printer.

Later this year, we're going to rebuild a storage shed in @Balloonicorn 's yard as a better home for at least two of said printers.

Basic Tiles ready. Wird das Weihnachtsgeschenk für meinen n ffen. Super geiles Projekt, aber ca 70 Stunden Druckzeit für Basic Boards und Tiles...aber ein geiles Projekt und die Community wachst. #hextraction #3dprinting #prusa3d #prusamk4 #opensource #game

Me and my wife have been playing #hextraction a fair bit over the last week since I got the basic set printed, and my printer has been running nonstop to churn out new pieces since then.

Here are my unasked for thoughts on the game

As an introduction - #Hextraction is a table top game that is completely free (as in both freedom and free beer) and all the parts can be made at home via #3dprinting. The goal is to build a path from the top of the board to the end zone that you can roll a marble down, with lots of zany effects (both physics and rule based) to complicate things.

Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, the game itself is a blast. It's a good combination of simple and complex (kind of like Hive in that respect). It's the kind of game that you could play with a bunch of kids, or have a serious and challenging match against another adult with both choices being fun. It also has a few solitaire modes which can be fun, though not as fun as the "real" game.

Today, I published my first attempt at a #hextraction game piece. It's a bit basic but has potential in the game, and has inspired some additional ideas. #3dPrinting #maker https://thangs.com/designer/andypiperuk/3d-model/Hextraction%20Heart%20Tile-907726

The #3dprint machinery is busy with #hextraction

First time streaming on #Twitch, it's my BambuLab Carbon X-1 printing #Hextraction pieces while I work. OBS is really fun. https://www.twitch.tv/alazoral

#3DPrinting

I'm ready to get started with #hextraction. My printer is kicking me around but, it is what it is. I'll print the basic set first and then move on to custom tiles.
