========================
3D Printable Piecepack
========================
The piecepack_ 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`_.
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 and cards variants, while the seasons extensions is planned
for the future.

Instructions
------------
Building the 3D models
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To generate the .stl files for each piecepack component you need Make
(tested with `GNU Make`_) and OpenSCAD_; 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_ 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.

.. _OpenSCAD: http://www.openscad.org/

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.
