Description

English description:

Mobaco is a game made by a Dutch company during the 1920's that was produced until 1961. For a complete history and details about the game sets, the parts lists and the original manuals for the different buildings that can be constructed, please go to https://mol8.home.xs4all.nl/MOBACO_Seamonkey/Home.html.

Mobaco pieces were made of wood and cardboard. There were bases with holes to insert the columns and then with cardboard parts you had to add walls, windows, doors, ceilings, roofs, etc. The manuals guide you to place each part in the correct place and order to complete a building design. Among the pictures you can see a house constructed with original pieces combined with a couple of 3D printed columns that I was testing. Manuals come with a lot of building options, from tiny houses to several stories buildings. You can follow these instructions or even better, once you understand the basics of the game components, you can build your own designs. Now with 3D technology you can also create new never made parts to make the house you want. It's a fun and creative game for kids, I remember spending long hours with this game.

I recreated most of the pieces of the catalog for 3D printing, to build my own set. Now my kids can play with the same game that I used to play with. My original set belonged to my mother from her childhood and amused my own, 40 years ago.

You can see the original color for each part in this list: https://mol8.home.xs4all.nl/MOBACO_Seamonkey/Parts.html

You can download and print the manuals from here: https://mol8.home.xs4all.nl/MOBACO_Seamonkey/Manuals-Moubal.html

And you can check the different sets available in the original game here: https://mol8.home.xs4all.nl/MOBACO_Seamonkey/Sets.html

Thanks to Caspar, the owner of this site for all the great information he found and shared about the game.

There are a few things to consider. The bases of the original game were big structures where the columns were inserted. There is a limitation in the size of most 3D printers, so I designed the base models in a puzzle like combination, you need to combine pieces 202a, 202b1, 202b2 and 202c to make mostly any base size you need to achieve. For example:

  • Joining four parts 202a you can make the original part 202.
  • Joining four 202a, one 202b1 and one 202b2 you can make original part 203.
  • Joining more parts 202a, 202b1, 202b2 and 202c you can escalate and make a base of much bigger sizes.

In the same concept, the original game came with many different column sizes, from a very short tiny one to a long 4 stories high column. Of course there is a problem again with 3D printing sizes, so I made only three designs, named part 1, 2 and 3. These parts can be inserted one into each other so as to reach any height needed. For example:

  • Original column #1 is equal to Part #1
  • Original column #2 is formed by Part #1 + Part #2
  • Original column #3 is formed by Part #1 + Part #2 +Part #2
  • Original column #4 is formed by Part #1 + Part #2 + Part #3
  • Original column #5 is formed by Part #1 + Part #3 + Part #3
  • Original column #6 is formed by Part #1 + Part #2 + Part #2 + Part #3
  • Original column #7 is formed by Part #1 + Part #2 + Part #3 + Part #3
    For bigger columns not in the original part list you can continue to ensamble combinations of parts 1, 2 and 3.

If there is a part missing, please let me know, I made most of them.
I made a couple of parts that were not in the original list. Most of them are named as "mobaco ## b". These are just little adjustments to pieces to use in some cases needed.

The file Mobaco.zip contains all the pieces to download at once.

** New uploads:

  • Sep. 13, 2018: I was requested to add a design that is equivalent to column 2 of the original game without the need of joining two parts. It's uploaded as Mobaco-004 because number 2 was already in use.

====================================================================

Descripción en español:

Mobaco es un juego que fue producido por una empresa holandesa entre 1920 y 1960. Para una descripción de toda su historia y detalles sobre el juego, las listas de componentes y los manuales originales pueden ir al siguiente sitio: https://mol8.home.xs4all.nl/MOBACO_Seamonkey/Home.html.

En Argentina este juego se produjo entre los años 1940 y los 1960 con el nombre de "El Constructor Infantil Privilegiado". Era una copia del Mobaco, probablemente pagando los derechos correspondientes, porque era casi idéntico.

Las piezas del Mobaco estaban hechas de madera y cartón. Las bases tienen agujeros donde se insertan las columnas y luego con piezas de carton se agregan paredes, puertas, ventanas, cielorrasos, techos, etc. Los manuales indican dónde colocar cada pieza y el orden correcto para completar un diseño de edificio. Entre las fotos hay una casa construida con piezas originales con un par de columnas impresas en 3D a modo de prueba. Los manuales tienen muchas opciones para construir, desde casitas muy pequeñas hasta grandes edificios de varios pisos. Se puede seguir estas instrucciones o aún mejor, una vez que se comprendió la estructura básica del juego y sus piezas se pueden crear diseños de casas propios. Ahora con la tecnología 3D podemos también crear nuevas piezas, nunca antes hechas para hacer el diseño que se desee. Es un juego muy entretenido y creativo para niños. Recuerdo haber pasado muchas horas con este juego cuando era un niño.

Yo recreé prácticamente todas las piezas del juego original para ser impresas en 3D. Todas las piezas en 3D pueden ser combinadas con las del juego original del que tengo un par de sets que pertenecieron a mi madre cuando era niña y a mi y a mis hermanos cuando éramos chicos. Hoy es para que se diviertan mis hijas.

Pueden ver los colores originales de cada una de las piezas aquí: https://mol8.home.xs4all.nl/MOBACO_Seamonkey/Parts.html

Pueden bajar e imprimir los manuales originales para construir montones de casas ya diseñadas aquí: https://mol8.home.xs4all.nl/MOBACO_Seamonkey/Manuals-Moubal.html

Y pueden ver la composición de los diferentes sets que fueron saliendo en el juego original aquí: https://mol8.home.xs4all.nl/MOBACO_Seamonkey/Sets.html

Gracias a Caspar, el dueño de este sitio que ha recopilado toda esta información sobre el juego original y sobre lo que me basé para poder hacer los diseños en 3D.

Cosas a considerar. Las bases del juego original eran planchas grandes con agujeros donde se insertaban luego las columnas. Las impresoras 3D suelen tener limitaciones de tamaño para hacer las piezas por lo que diseñé los modelos de la base como un rompecabezas donde combinando algunas piezas se puede llegar casi a cualquier tamaño de base deseado. Por ejemplo:

  • Juntando cuatro partes 202a se hace el equivalente de una parte 202 del juego original.
  • Juntando cuatro 202a. una 202b1 y una 202b2 se puede armar una parte 203 del original.
  • Juntando más partes 202a, 202b1, 202b2 y 202c se pueden combinar para escalar las bases al tamaño que deseemos.

Con el mismo concepto, las columnas del juego original iban desde unas muy pequeñas a las más largas que correspondían a casas de 4 pisos de altura. Por supuesto sigue el problema de imprimir en 3D objetos muy grandes con lo que diseñé tres piezas ensamblables. Combinando estas tres piezas se puede llegar a cualquier tamaño de columna, incluso más altas que las del juego original. Por ejemplo:

  • Columa original #1 es igual a la parte #1
  • Columna original #2 se forma con parte #1 + parte #2
  • Columna original #3 se forma con parte #1 + parte #2 + parte #2
  • Columna original #4 se forma con parte #1 + parte #2 + parte #3
  • Columna original #5 se forma con parte #1 + parte #3 + parte #3
  • Columna original #6 se forma con parte #1 + parte #2 + parte #2 + parte #3
  • Columna original #7 se forma con parte #1 + parte #2 + parte #3 + parte #3
    Para columnas más grandes se puede seguir combinando las partes 1, 2 y 3.

Si falta alguna pieza por favor avísenme, hice casi todas.
Hice un par de piezas que no estaban en la lista original. Por lo general están listadas como "Mobaco ## b". Son solo pequeños ajustes de piezas para usar en algunos casos en que pueden necesitarse.

El archivo Mobaco.zip contiene todos los diseños para bajarlos juntos.

** Subidas nuevas:

  • 13 sep 2018: Me pidieron que agregue el diseño equivalente a la columna 2 del juego original para no tener que formarla uniendo dos piezas. La subí con el nombre Mobaco-004 porque el número 2 ya estaba en uso.
