Hi. I wanted to use magnets with 3d printing, and I remembered this old game which I played when I was a kid. It's called the Nine men's Morris and I played it when I was a kid on a piece of paper with some beans. It would be really cool if the game piece would snap to their place, so this is how I started.

I would suggest to first test the small tolerance piece with the hole to find out if you can later insert the magnets in the parts, and it's also useful to leave one in the part and use it a a guide to orient the magnets. Once in the part it's not really an option to take them out. Holes goes from 2.95mm to 3.20.. with 0.05 increments. I used 3x3mm magnets. In my case 3.15mm was ideal for the magnets to remain in the board piece without any glue.

The magnets are fully imbedded in the In the game piece, I leaved a hole of 3.2mm so they slide in without much force. You have to stop the print insert the magnets and continue. Or make your piece with holes accessible from the outside. In the board piece and the box they can be inserted after the print is finished (3.1mm holed).

 

Fill free to create other games with the “platform” and don't forget to share them with us as well. I also uploaded a tic-tac-toe.

For the rules of each game please search the web, they are really simple and easy to understand.
