Catan Magnetic Piece Holder with Building Costs Card

thingiverse

This is a piece holder for round base settlers of catan pieces. Features: Fits 5 settlements, 4 cities, 15 roads, and 14 road connectors. The lid is attached using magnets. The lid can also be used as a base to dock the piece holder. Magnets secure this connection too! The lid can be used as a building costs card. Supports 5mm ball magnets. I printed the following: 5 of each settlement 4 of each city 15 of each road 14 thin road connectors (for modern) 52 road connectors (for medieval, chinese, roman) 1 piece holder with 2mm road slot and 11mm trough (for modern pieces) 1 piece holder with 2mm road slot and 16mm trough (for medieval pieces) 2 piece holders with 3mm road slot and 16mm trough (for chinese and roman pieces) 1 of each lid 2 magnet holders for each set (8 in total) You may opt out of using the thin road connectors for the modern pieces, in which case you'd want to use the piece holder with 2mm road slot and 16mm trough. I used 64 5mm N42 ball magnets (8 per lid + 8 per holder). The connection is strong enough to hold everything together, but not so strong that it will pinch fingers. Make sure that the magnets move freely in their slot before gluing the magnet holder!
