Magnetic Base Systems for Axolote Hex Tiles

After looking further into the Axolote Hex tile and wall system I really gained an appreciation for all the hard work that went into this set. They are highly detailed and the base set includes a bunch of stretch goals that really add a lot of variety. However, I had reservations about the wall connection system. After some hemming and hahhing and recovery from gloomhaven burnout I decided to bite the bullet.

Many others have made magnetic bases to replace the standard openlock connector bases for this tile set and they are great, see remix list. However, for this tile set the walls were not really addressed. So I set out to make and magnetic base and wall system for Axolote Hex.

In my magnetic base experimentation I played around with a few different styles before finally settling on one. I created 11 different bases during this process. I've uploaded them all here in case you might find any of them to your liking.

I ended up printing a bunch of B2s and some B1s to add lower height variation. Two B2s stacked works well for going higher.

Compatibility
The short tiles (Row A and Column 1) are also compatible with Anomard's tiles so you can use rbross wall's and doors with this system as well, using the flat hexes here and the drilling guide here.

Sources
All files were modeled from scratch by me but I used many of the concepts and dimensions from the files sited in the remix section.
