Hundreds -of games for the piecepack are available on the internet, both on the -official site and on the [piecepack -wiki](http://www.ludism.org/ppwiki/). - -This piecepack is designed for 3D printers and can be printed at home -(or your local fablab) or sent to a 3D printing service. Currently it -includes the piecepack (with saucers and suite die), in basic, cards and -seasons variants. - -Instructions ------------- - -### Building the 3D models - -To generate the .stl files for each piecepack component you need Make -(tested with [GNU Make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/)) and -[OpenSCAD](http://www.openscad.org/); one you have installed these -dependencies just run: - - $ make - -from the root directory of this repository and wait. - -If you want to print an expansion you can change the value of the -`SUITES` variable on line 7: decomment one of the options, or set it to -a combination of available suites. Note that the suite die expect at -least 4 suites, and if more are available they are printed instead of -the ace and null values. - -Example settings for [Slic3r](http://slic3r.org/) are available in the -conf directory: you can load them in Slic3r, change the settings -(expecially those related to the printer) and re-export them in place. -Then you can use: - - $ make gcode - -from the root directory of the repository to generate .gcode files which -can be sent to your printer. - -### Printing - -The models should be printed in an opaque material: when using PLA a -darkish color may be better than a light one. - -All markings on the pieces are recessed in the surface and should be -painted with appropriate colors. On PLA I've used craft acrylics with -success by applying two layers of primer. - -### Readme - -The file README.md is generated from README.rst with: - - pandoc -o README.md README.rst - -and is included in the repo for the benefit of gitorious. - -License -------- - -OpenSCAD code and SVG artwork Copyright 2013-2014 Elena Grandi - -This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike -4.0 International License.
