Dog Deluxe 7&8th Player upgrade

IMPORTANT: there are 2 versions of cards in the "dog universe" the original cards that come with the game and "Dog Cards" cards which are about 3mm smaller in both directions, which can be used as spare cards if the original set is played too much so the cards degrade over time.

"Dog inlay" is used with the cards that arrive with the original game,

"Dog Cards inlay" is used with the card game/spare cards

the "Dog Cards" cards can be used with either models, but the original set is too large for the cards inlay.

info: this print is recommended to be printed with a multi material printer, as there are virtually no height differences between the different colored parts.

With this model you can upgrade your Dog Deluxe game to play with more than the originally 6 players. you dont need to print the inlay, you could just throw out the existing one and put all parts in the box as they are.

the intended use is to print 2 of these ( in 2 new colors ) and create a rounded square and sit around a fairly round table to acommodate 8 players. however if you have a rather long than round table, just use 2 of the linear pieces on each side.

i wouldnt recommend playing with more than 8 players, as the games duration drastically increases with more players.

recommended print tips:

• use a “wood” filament and do a few test prints with different temperatures to match the color of the other wood pieces

• use colors that are as “far away” from the original colors to prevent confusion

• to color the print use the color function in your prefered slicer and use the fill tool. you should be able to fill the diferent parts easily, but they are only .01mm lower than the rest, so the will end up in the same height as the base part

• measure your original wooden tiles to maybe scale them in the z axis. the version i own has differences in heigt of about 1mm across all tiles

• if you cant print the inlay in one ( or the two splitted ) part use the cut tool in your slicer and choose a dovetail cut. adjust the tolerance to your printer and add an angle for an better fit

settings ( i used ):

• .2mm layer height ( not important )

• 15% infill ( cross hatch ) ( does not need structural strength )

• no supports, brims, etc ( the size alone should stick it to the buildplate )

• 4 colors needed: wood, white, black and you desired additional color

dovetail cut settings ( inlay ):

• 10mm depth

• 40mm length

• 60° angle ( horizontally )

• 5° angle ( vertically )

• .1mm tolerance
