Stereographic Projection Mill Game

thingiverse

Now the dark season is welcome! You can only play the game in the dark. This is a stereographic projection of the famous game Mill (also known as Nine Man Morris, Mill, Mills, The Mill Game, Merels, Merrills, Merelles, Marelles, Morelles and Ninepenny Marl). When you place a light on top of the projection body, the shadows which are created will build a game plate Read more in the instructions! Watch a short video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x65ZbuQRLOA Instructions You will always need to print the projection-printable.stl file. It is printable without support and takes about 2 hours to print with a layer height of 0.3 mm. It is based on http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:295281. The image array was created with http://customizer.makerbot.com/image_array. If you want to play in a more comfortable way, you can print out the additional aufsatz.stl. You can place an LED trough the hole (not the body, only the wires) and put a battery holder on top of it. If there is interest, I'll draw a circuit plan. Hook up a resistor between 10 Ohm and 20 Ohm in series to the battery and LED to limit the current and increase the lifetime of the LED. You should remove the round head of the LED to improve the angle of radiation. Alternatively, you can use a torch (of you smartphone). Torches with multiple LEDs won't work since they will produce multiple shadows. Also this is optional: If you don't have black and white stones, you can print out the cylinder and cube, 9 pieces of each. Printing them all together will take about 2 hours with a layer height of 0.3 mm. They are 15mm high and wide
