3D printable tiles for a game like Settlers of Catan
Main Description
This contains all the tiles for a game like Settlers of Catan. The naming convention provides the suggested print-color, the number of copies to print (e.g. "x3").
Core Tiles
- interior tiles (brick ×3, wood ×4, sheep ×4, wheat ×4, ore ×3 and desert ×1)
- perimeter port tiles (three 3:1 ports, along with brick, wood, sheep, wheat, and ore 2:1 ports)
- three blank corner water perimeter pieces (semi-optional)
six blank water perimeter pieces (semi-optional, especially if you have the fish expansion pack tiles below).
Expansion Packs
- Fish
- six fish perimeter pieces which can be used to replace the six blank side water perimeter pieces (
blue_x6_water4.stl). The Makerbot 2 had some troubles printing the originals, so the_v2versions may remedy that by moving the pips below the numbers so that they actually touch. The_v3versions remove some errant pieces that poked through the bottom.
- six fish perimeter pieces which can be used to replace the six blank side water perimeter pieces (
- 5-6 player expansion pack includes
- two more each of brick, wood, sheep, wheat, and ore tiles
- one more desert tile
- two more of the 4-slotted water pieces (
blue_x6_water4.stl) to be placed on the 2 side of the 2-3 3-1 port and on “8” side of the 1-2 3:1 port - a copy of the 1-2 3:1 port (
catan_blue_x1_water_1-2_three-to-one_port.stl) to be placed on the 7 side of the 6-7 wheat 2:1 port - a copy of the 5-6 player sheep port (

Notes
- I'm currently in the process of getting these printed, and I hope to have a full game-board picture to post when they're finally finished. The current full-game image is a rendering from Blender.
- A previous iteration had a lot of trouble printing the wheat-bundles (at least on the Makerbot 2 I was using). My first task is to get those printing a little better.
- The
_v2ore tile fixes a strange non-manifold issue (I understood that TinkerCAD shouldn't even be able to create non-manifold surfaces) - The
_v2wood tile and port thickens the axe handle which didn't print at all on the port tile, and was a little flimsy on the main tile. - I've had a lot of fun making these. If you successfully print them yourself, I'd love to hear about it @Gumnos
