Morris & Solitaire - 2 in 1 - 3D Printed
Introduction: Morris & Solitaire - 2 in 1 - 3D Printed
A very, very long time ago I made this project in wood. Now I decided to design it for 3D printing.
The rules of the games are perhaps known, otherwise ... rules of the games are given below.
Dimensions:
160x160x23mm
Supplies
This is a relatively simple project - from the point of view of design. A particular difficulty, however, lies in finding out the right dimensions for the holes and the game pieces. They should be easy to insert and fit "well" - not too tight and not too loose.
Before I started printing the plates, I did a test print because printing a plate takes more than 4 hours. So a misprint would be annoying. To be on the safe side, I printed only a small section. See photo.
Nevertheless, it can happen that the so-called "elephant foot" causes the token to hook a little when inserting or removing it.
The "elephant foot" is one of the most common problems in 3D printing. The elephant foot occurs when too much material is output during printing of the first layer and this is then pushed out to the side. This increases the diameter of a round object, for example. 668
So it may happen that you have to do a little finishing with sandpaper.
For this project you need:
* MS_case.stl
* MS_morris plate.stl
* MS_solitaire plate.stl
* MS_token_36pcs.stl (at least 32 tiles for the Solitaire game)
* MS_token_12pcs.stl (at least 9 more different colored tiles for the <PERSON> game)
* you should print a few spare pieces in the corresponding color, in case one gets lost
* screw clamps or a heavy book
* Superglue
* Sandpaper
Step 1: Printing the Parts
It will take you about 16-17 hours to print all the pieces (at 10% infill for the big parts and 15% for the tiles).
Again and again we hear from the 3D printing community that there are problems with the adhesion of the printed objects, for example that the corners come loose. I recommend to clean the print surface first and then spray it with a special printing adhesive (3DLAC). I have had very good experience with this for years. You can be really sure that your object, or parts of it, will not come off the print bed.

Step 2: Gluing Plates Together
Place a small drop of super glue at the 4 corners and in the middle of the back of one of the plates.
When gluing the two backsides together, make sure that they are absolutely aligned. Otherwise, they may no longer fit into the case.
If you are sure that they lie correctly on top of each other, you can fix them - if available - with 4 screw clamps, otherwise a heavy book will do.
Step 3: Ready to Play/Rules
Morris: is a game for 2 players. Each player has 9 pieces (2 different colors).
Placing phase: The players alternately place one piece each on cross or corner points of the board. <PERSON><PHONE_NUMBER>&sprefix=3dlac%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-3

Moving phase: The pieces are moved, i.e. each player may place one piece on an adjoining free point per turn. 646
