3D Printable Piecepack ====================== The [piecepack](http://www.piecepack.org/) is a generic set of boardgame parts designed by James Kyle and released under public domain. 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.
