Description

I have collected Battletech miniatures for many years now and even though I do not actively play at the moment, I wanted to see my miniatures on display where I could enjoy them.   I didn't want to do a basic shelf system…I wanted something more visually appealing.   

I love hexes and so finally sat down and created a way to display my miniatures using a hex shape and this is the result.

The OpenSCAD file allows for adjustments to the overall size of the hexes (Vertex to Vertex) and you can choose between 1 and 7 hex shapes to output along with either a back wall (my original solution to mounting) or if you enter 0 for the back wall size it will include a hanger (half-hex with screw hole).  

I did not want the side walls to swallow the miniature so there is a ledge that extends out…I eyeballed the placement of the ledge since I couldn't figure out the formulas needed to determine it's placement for my needs…so if you increase the height you will need to adjust the ledge_y parameter along with the x and y parameters to place the hexes correctly.

There are more shape combinations in the OpenSCAD file then I ended up exporting.  My wall is only using the 7 Hex option (both backed and open) as that worked for what I wanted to make.

11/23/22 Update: Added 2T, 2R, and 2L as I wanted some 2 hex options to fill in spaces.

11/26/22 Update: Posted a picture of my final (for now) wall.  I used the scad file to create hexes for some 5in and 7.5in prints I've done.  I used https://hexagoncalculator.apphb.com/ to determine the correct “vertex to vertex” size for my larger print.

6/12/26 Update: Added 1 hex and a 2 or 3 vertical option.  Updated the SCAD file.
