Animal Meeples [Laser Cut + 3D]

thingiverse

This will be a collection of animal shaped meeples for several boardgames. The inspiration came from the game Fabled Fruit, where each player choose an animal. But there are only 6 different animal to choose from and some of my boardgame fellows whished to have other animals. So the idea came up on making new ones, which then can be used for any game. In this thread I post the 3D files and a version for a laser cutter. I used the laser cutter module of the Snapmaker 3D with 1.6W. The *.svg files should be working with any vector program and laser cutting software. The meeples in the pictures are made of plywood. I used two 4 mm thick plates and glued them together. Afterwards, I applied a primer, then an acrylic stain and in the end they got a glossy varnish, for protection. The longest side of a meeple is around 30 mm. The parameters of the Snapmaker laser cutter 1.6W (4 mm plywood plate) power: 100% work speed: 120 mm/min multi-pass: 5-6 turns pass depth: 0 mm More animals will come. ---- Update 26. May 2019 I have added some animals and made an other version of the donkey. Cow, Goat, Donkey with long ears, Hippopotamus, Rooster, Dragon, Unicorn ---- Update 11. Feb 2019 I uploaded the next batch of animals and I ziped the svg-Files. After the animals got their color, I will make close-up photos for each of it.
