Ludo - magnetic

The game needs no introduction. Everyone knows the rules.

Easy to print and no multi-color 3D printer is needed.

First, print the pieces and choose the colors according to your imagination. I recommend printing a little more, approx. 3 pieces, because it happened to me that a few pieces could not be snapped on easily. The pieces fit just right, when they were too loose, the cooling fan blew them away. The pieces bottom has a recess for a steel plate, if someone wanted to press magnets into the figures. However, it is not necessary and you can do without it. I chose a round plate with a diameter of 11mm and a thickness of 0.5mm, which needed to be glued to the bottom of each piece. Only a little glue was needed just to hold the plate when inserted into the board. The steel plate must not extend beyond the edge of the piece.

If you are printing a layer thickness of 0.2mm, when printing the board you need to pause and insert all the colored pieces. This is between layers 8 and 9. They should click in slightly and should not be loose. If one of the pieces is stuck, try inserting another one (it is good to have at least a few extra pieces). (The pieces go flat side up.) If any of the pieces are too loose, that's also bad.

If you have chosen to insert steel plates into the board, you will definitely need to insert magnets into the game figures. Use a 4x3mm neodymium magnet. Print the figures with a cutout for the magnet.

The parts are tested on the MK4S printer and everything fits. I hope you enjoy.

I would be happy for your feedback.
