Connect 4 3D: Stack beads on 16 pins, win by making 4 in a row. Easy to print. Sturdy. 2-4 players. Fun for all!

 

How to Play:

  1. Setup the game board by placing the pins on the board. There are 16 pins on which up to 4 beads can be stacked vertically.
  2. Decide how many players will play (2-4) and assign each player a color.
  3. The players take turns placing a bead of their color on the board.
  4. The game is won by the first player who successfully creates a row of 4 beads of their color either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
  5. If all pins are filled and no player has won, the game ends in a draw.
  6. Players can stack up to 4 beads on each pin, creating the potential for multiple rows to be formed in a single move.
  7. In the case of multiple rows being formed simultaneously, the player who placed the last bead to create a row wins.


The 3D variant of 4-in-a-Row adds an extra layer of complexity to the game, so it may take a few rounds to get the hang of it.

 


Parts to print:

Print instructions:

  • Layer height: 0.2mm
  • Infill: 15%
  • No supports required
  • Minimum of 3 perimeters for the pins
     
  • Please print one pin first, followed by the test parts, and test which tolerance allows the pin to be threaded in most easily.
     
  • Depending on whether you want the option to disassemble the game or if the pins should be permanently "pressed in", adjust the tolerance accordingly.
     
  • If the pins are too loose, the game may be unstable or fall apart easily. If the pins are too tight, they may be difficult to insert or remove. Use the testparts!
     
  • Please don't worry about breaking a pin while setting up / playing the game, as you can always push the stuck part out from the bottom through the hole. So feel free to play without any fear!
     
  • All parts are pre-oriented.
