Gloomhaven tiles using 3mm magnetic balls - compatible with MagHex

Update v5

The difference in versions is the diameter of the pocket for magnetic balls

Big - 4.25 mm

Normal - 4.2 mm

Small - 4.15 mm

Very Small - 4.1 mm

Update v4

Added few different designes

Now every model have 3 sizes of holes for neocubes (normal, small and very small) printers have different tollerences and also found out that on glass bed I get different results then on standard ender3 bed.

I didn't do champfer (find out that this make more trouble printing than it is worth)

Designes I added to standard Hex:

• Hex with hole for center magnet (5x2mm). Two sizes of center hole (5,1 mm and 5,2 mm)
• Hex with hole for center magnet (3x2mm). Two sizes of center hole (3,1 mm and 3,2 mm)
• Half hex
• Quarter hex

Udapte v3

• Made small adjusmants and tested with printed hexes from MagHex. All work perfectly you get very sydisfing click.

Update v2

• Made changes to size of walls and hex to be exact copy of hex from MagHex
• Added chamfer at the bottom
• Corrected position of hex

Movie show how I assemble 3mm neocubes with my 31 mm tiles. This onem (33 mm tile and 35 mm base) is not tested jet but should fit just fine.

My system use 3mm magnetic balls (neocubes). Some advantages of using balls:

1. It is super easy to fit. No tools needed. Best way is to use something metal to stick ball to and then with fingers press bell to its pocket. It should snap easily. After printing more than 170 I didn't have single ball drop from its pocket or hex destroyed.

2. Balls rotate in pocket so you will never have polarity wrong way.

3. Neocubes used to be popular toy so they are much more common and you can find them on some sales as cheap as 2,99$ for 216 balls.
