Well I didn't fully design it in openscad. I designed the hexagonal components, and the interlocking aspects in openscad so it's fully parametric. The actual art for the top of each tile and such was done on a blank hex base in sketchup, and then imported in openscad to be added to the overall base and parametric parts.<div>
<br></div><div>So several of the source parts were done in sketchup, with an overall wrapper in openscad to process them into usable pieces based on parametric settings, and spit it out in finished sheets ready for printing.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'll probably do my lasercut settlers set in openscad as well, with just the 2D tile artwork being imported as external DXF files.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll give you a heads up next time I'm coming in for a meeting (Which I hope is soon) and bring the stuff with me.</div>

Hi Paul,<br><br>I was really impressed by how you designed the part in OpenSCAD. Do let me/us know if you have a chance to bring them to a meetup.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 5 October 2011 19:36, Paul & Andrea Mumby <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:themumbys@gmail.com" target="_blank">themumbys@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I cant remember who, but someone at a meeting was showing some very nice 3d printed settlers of Catan tiles they made.<br><br>I found a kickstarter campaign ( <a href="http://kickstarter.com/projects/sjbrown/boardcrafting" target="_blank">http://kickstarter.com/projects/sjbrown/boardcrafting</a> ) where someone has put together a laser cutable version of the tiles. I think a mix of the 3d and laser cutting may be a very interesting solution.<br>
<br>I'm backing the project to get a "copy of the source vector art files" so I can play around with them on my own. If there is any interest I'd be more than happy to let people know when they're ready so we can play with the laser.<br>
