HeroQuest Epic 3D-Printed Board Part 4

[@forbiddenprints2830]

Yo, it's me the guy that made the center tile. Abracadabra! I give you permission to share my tile that you modified for your Hero Quest bored!

This looks aweseome. Some great sollutions about how the walls, doors and traps were included.

I think this is the best video you´ve made!! It closes and answers a lot of open questions from older videos. I´m really making the HQ board with your files. Just wish to share the progress with you. :)

[@gaminggeek241]

Awesome! Glad you are tackling this project--it's really fun!

[@LambosNerdery]

Amazing work. I'm always impressed by how quickly you're able to get through multiple large painting projects, and your end results look very nice. Thanks for the video!

[@paulwilliams3378]

Thanks you for posting these videos!! They are excellent! Without them I would not have known about Dragon’s Rest and the Hero Quest 3-D printable board. Finally got mine all printed and primed can’t wait to start painting. I’m glad I went with the magnetized floor and pieces. I started with the clipped set but they kept breaking. I love the magnetized set! So thank you! I also built a gaming table similar to the one you did so thank your for posting that video as well

[@amyb7207]

Omg I love this so much! I played this game in the 90s with my family, and still have the original game and the original expansion packs which I now play with my own teenagers. This is incredible!

Thanks so much for this. I'm half way through printing this board and very much appreciate the tutorials and effort you have put in. I don't suppose you recorded much more of your painting for the board tiles? Very interested in your specific color choices and process as I will begin painting these myself soon and am quite new to this....

@@fuzz7981 Hey how long did it take to print all the tiles ?

[@fuzz7981]

@@leandrodediaz On average I was printing 1 full room piece per day. That took a few weeks as I had a couple of failed prints. The hallways, borders and edges took another few weeks. I am now around a quarter of the way through the walls/doors etc. It is a very lengthy process but the results do not disappoint. Btw, I am printing the fully magnetized set as I need to be able to pack it up easily to save space.

The gameplay part was actually really nice to see. I just got into this game and my 3D printer has been printing non stop for the past couple of days because of this. 😄😅

Love your work! I've been printing the full magnet latest version of the board for quite some time, but I'm not a big fan of the step pieces running around the outside of the board that are part of the main system. Your edges appear raised up and give a better impression that the outside would be a wall. Sorry if I missed something throughout the videos, but where did you get these pieces?

[@teemuu9]

This looks amazing! Well done!

[@bradgibbons1062]

Did you have to use supports at all? Specifically, I'm wondering about the clip ports. I just joined the Dragon's Rest patreon and am printing your slim pegged board. I'm excited! Thank you for your work and content!

[@gaminggeek241]

Nope, no supports. Unless you are running your printer with really hot settings, you won't need it for the ports.

In your furniture alternative piece part of the video, most of the items you said would work, actually should take up 3 squares not two. To compensate, I printed things like barrels and chairs and such to take up the extra square that my furniture from the new Heroquest doesnt stretch into.

Yes you are correct and that's a great solution!

That came from the Hasbro crowdfunder version of the new HeroQuest. Not sure if it went to retail or not.

[@MeshJedi]

@gaminggeek when using your slim floors. The tabs on it only allow the walls to slide onto the narrower top part of them. Leaving a small game between the wall and the floor I don't see this issue in any pictures. Is this a change with the updated HQ board from dragon's rest or is it a print setting (the change seem much to big to be over extrusion. So far I've printed all the edge pieces before I printed all the walls and doors. And it seems the problem nay be even worse with some fireplace and dor pieces that won't fit on the pegs due to their different half circle hold for the peg. Is the walls now completely incompatible with the slim floor and I should ditch it for the regular floor and double walls between some rooms?

[@gaminggeek241]

Hmmm... I think this is a question you should ask in the Dragon's Rest Discord community. More knowledgeable folks might be able to answer better than I can. But in the least, you could redesign the pegs to be smaller as needed, although that would be a pain to replace every single peg in software.

[@dr.h6493]

So after all the iterations that Dragons Rest has made, is this still the best in your opinion because of the versatility? I’m considering printing this for my kids for Xmas and I’m really torn between the non-magnetized game board from DR and the magnetized one from DR. That being said I have a couple of questions if you don’t mind: 1) What is the overall size of your version of the HQ board? 2) As far as the 5mm ball magnets, I see a bunch of ball magnet “toys” on Amazon… will those work if I go the magnetized route? Thanks Gaming Geek. Appreciate your content greatly!

[@gaminggeek241]

For ultimate versatility, I do think the magnetized version is the best but I will tell you that it is extremely difficult to buy 5mm ball magnets now due to the US saying they are hazards for kids swallowing them. If you are making the board exclusively for HQ, I would go the cheaper route and print the pre-made version with no magnets and the walls slotting in the pegs. Only do the magnets if you plan on creating other dungeons.

[@HapaxLegomenon12]

Has anyone played HeroQuest much on the Dragon's Rest board? There's some pieces missing which you'll only notice when playing a few quests. The issue is with the corners, when you have doors in the corners where the L corner piece is, and one of the walls is 3/4 length. There needs to be a couple of corner + door and corner + secret door, as well as a straight 1 3/4 wall.

[@thedragonsrest]

You should be able to find corner walls with doors in the walls folders. Drop me a message on the Discord discord.gg/a6swKdK if you want to clarify where the other areas are and I'll get something made to fit if it's missing, Ian :)

There is an option for a permanent board (actually uses less filament) if you aren't planning on using the tiles for other dungeon configurations.

[@benares180]

How do you get the walls and doors for the slim version of your floor tiles? What folder are they in?

[@gaminggeek241]

The walls for the slim floors are the same as the walls for the thick floors. You have the magnetized option (which requires you to print clips that will hold the 5mm ball magnet, which I alternatively use two 4x2mm barrel magnets instead) or the same floor but no clip printed. Does that make sense?
