Hi everyone! If you make your own 3D Catan Set we want to see it! Show us on our facebook page here: facebook.com/MSEBuilds

[@theloudstarkirby4203]

This is so cool and cute. How much does it cost?

[@reevesjustin]

I downloaded the files from your Patreon. The wool files are missing. They're labeled as wool, but three of them are wood.

[@SomethingEpic]

@@reevesjustin Hi! I just checked and you are correct! We're going to get that fixed and I'll let you know so you can redownload it. Thanks for the head's up!

Nice project! Wouldn't this be considered copyright infringement though?

How to shuffle the landscapes at the beginning of a round tho. : / taking away the fun in the game.

[@bryanwasnesky6554]

This is awesome. I legit want this board. Its not the printing thats hard, its the PAINTING

[@jjd-6358]

Haha for me it is time consuming for painting, but the printing is hard; I dont know how to do or set up that up!!🤯

[@adamhale7569]

Crap, I'm about halfway through printing a set, but have never painted anything in my life. My wife and I are painting it as a summer project.

[@SimonASNG]

The vid showed more time painting, but they probably spent more time tweaking the models in the computer and setting things up for the printer.

Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting. We've had an especially difficult 2020, but we are settled in a new state and have plans for more epic videos soon, so stay tuned! - Adam

[@radosawrudnicki1563]

Looking forward to it!

[@alexanderpurdyvalle]

Great news about the video...sorry to hear about your 2020...it’s been a horrible year. Im wishing you and your family well! Just found this video! I would love to see more of your process! I am new to 3D printing and would die for some tips on how to modify thingiverse items to fit my needs as you did in this video!

[@SomethingEpic]

​@@alexanderpurdyvalle Hi and thanks for the kind words! It's a bit tough to give specifics of the printing process since all printers and materials require different settings (and our settings likely won't work perfectly for everyone), but we do plan to show more of the modeling and printing processes in future videos.

please keep making content this channel will blow up

[@dannial-zgul9823]

@@SomethingEpic Hey! Just wanted to say that I'm really looking forward to more videos, this one was awesome :))

[@selinamularz9194]

This was really helpful. I'm making a wood and hand sculpted catan board for my husband, but I don't know anything about the game, and you added so many useful upgrades that I never would have considered. I might even 3D print some pieces now, which I never considered despite having a printer lol.

[@SoloRenegade]

I've always wanted to make a 3D Catan set like this. But this is Way cooler than what I was envisioning! A set like this for Carcassone would be awesome too.

[@sealerlv]

This deserves more views

[@Enchanted3DPrints]

This is the absilute best rendition of this Ive seen. Great work! My brother will love one of these sets. That means Ill have to make 2! Amazing work guys

[@raredavid98]

This is an exceptional video! Your production quality is amazing and you clearly had a lot of fun doing this project. Great work!

[@fadefrommemory]

Really awesome! Not just the final result, but the production along showing the procedure makes it very compelling.

[@theakshayb]

One of the frames at 3:01 is a muchhh better thumbnail I feel. I would've clicked on the video straight away!

[@SomethingEpic]

Thanks for the comment. That's good feedback!

[@Aru_TK]

4:25 oh, look, it's the game of thrones opening

[@jeremiahmarcum168]

This video was amazing. I have one piece of advice, and that is to thin your paints. A lot. Ideally for model painting, the paint should be well thinned, and you apply multiple thin coats. It helps retain more detail of the original piece. But truly, amazing build!

[@eclecticmakerspace]

Coolest 3D printing project I've ever seen in 10+ years of 3D printing! Great job guys

[@Darkond2100]

This is great! I'm going to hand craft one in porcelain including magnets this month. What an inspiring design.

[@bwbenja1]

Thank you for showing all your steps. I don't see myself as artistic and I have not done any 3D printing. However, your video makes it seem approachable. Looks great!

[@malwarev]

i'd like to thank the algorithm for bringing me to an incredible channel making something i've always wanted to make

Whoa! This really turned out cool fellas! Well done 👍 😊

[@TheRyanmscott75]

Really good job, a lot of work, turned out great

[@tiny_blade]

Wow it's been so long since I've played this game I forgot it existed this so epic. This brings back some really good memories for me I have to get a set and play with my friends again. Thanks man.

[@spencermoodie8096]

One of those things I didn’t know I needed, and now cannot live without

[@jonathanzink7510]

The board looks amazing. I was recently looking at buying a 3D set and instead bought a 3D printer to do it myself. I would love to see how you guys store your set. What about a 5-6 person expansion or even there sea expansion.

[@SomethingEpic]

We don't have a great storage solution at the moment. We're currently using a wooden box we bought on Amazon. We would also like to do an expansion as well. Stay tuned!

[@sentino68]

All games with tile building should have magnets built in. Amazing job guys!

[@peytonibarra8992]

[@louiemarts6145]

Incredible work! Definitely needs more views. I wish you were selling them. I'd be curious, if you can simplify the process a bit to go retail, what it would cost to get this made. 🤔

[@jacejows6535]

Id like to get ahold of the stl for the paint shield you guys made. That is nice

[@2ferTwins]

Well done!

Brilliant! I would have seen more close-ups of the water pieces though, they could be the best in the bunch!

Great job!! Very impressed.

whoaaaaw.. thats just incredible, fantastic job guys, I want this so badly... for me and to gift to all my catan addicted friends...

I just printed mine and going to be painting soon. Surprising my gf! She loves playing this game all the time. Thank you for this :D

[@daankuhne1744]

so we have catan here as well, but i have never seen hose boring blocky wood houses, we have always had plastic houses and city's wich are actually quite pretty looking

[@gizmogamingmore8881]

Awesome! More like EPIC!

[@old_soul99]

This is beautiful!! keep on making!!

[@brohemian]

went out all with production here

[@krissisk4163]

3D printed Catan is so awesome. It looks much better than the cardboard tiles.The magnets are a great idea. I kinda wish I'd used the magnet model when I printed mine a couple years ago.

[@chuckchriste4017]

Although there are some things that I would change in my version of a custom Catan game...the one thing that you did that I think is genius is making the robber a dragon! I recently looked to upgrade my robber as well and was simply going to use a miniature of a thief (robber). It never dawned on me to use something else...like a dragon! Brilliant!!

[@predmet.]

This is amazing! Excellent job!

[@dougwhiddon8227]

Responding to a 3 year old video: One of the first things I 3d printed when I got my very first 3d printer was a Catan board. Gave it away to a friend when he moved. It was really cool to have and just added an amazing dimension to the game. Must be why there is an official 3d board now.

Did you also make intersection pieces?

[@GradyRoy]

Do Patreon subscribers get the altered gcode that pauses the print to insert the magnets? I'm not good with the software, so if you offer the updated code files then I'm definitely gonna become a Patreon member.

[@catiecodes]

Great video! Keep making videos and subscribers I am sure will come! They usually.come after a year or year and a half of great videos like this

[@thejonny0208]

👏👏👏👏 great! Just wow!!! Keep the good work. I wish to make something like this but I don’t even have a 3D printer :(

[@MisterC006]

This is pretty dang sweet. What kind of printer do you have?

[@reevesjustin]

I noticed the saguaro of the desert pieces are incredibly tiny. Where as the tiles in the video are huge.

[@reevesjustin]

The files I downloaded from the Patreon have no desert modifications.

[@studiohanson]

In the video you have the player pieces (roads, settlements, cities) nicely organized in what looks like perfectly-sized little bins. Would you where you got those bins or what size they are? Thanks!

[@SomethingEpic]

Here are the bins we used. The 2.9x2.9x1 inch ones work perfectly. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DVS1HC4/

Did you print all parts using the Finder(s)? This was my first 3D printer and I loved it. I still use it for TPU but it is sooooo slow even compared to my Anycubic Adventurer 3 and especially my Kobra 2 Printers

[@stevesswamp]

I just finished printing these out and painting them. The game looks excellent. Here are a couple of comments: Printing using a snapmaker 2.0: The wool tiles (4,5,6) on the option 2 group are not Wool but wood. Opened the option 1 tiles and they are correct but since my printer has a lot of metal we opted for double printing the wool tiles (1,2,3) The cactus on your tiles seem much larger than those on the printable tiles. I would have liked the larger cactus. My printer had a heck of a time printing the piers on the water tiles. Might be my printer but nearly all of them deformed in some way or another. The wheat tiles sometimes failed at print as well. There seems to be voids under the wheat bundles that cause the bundles to break off easily. The dragon is awesome. But difficult to print with a PLA printer. I suggest a resin printer for the dragon and the trophies. The painting was long and arduous. However, a painting party made short work of it. Despite my gripes, the finished game looks fantastic and my family has spent quite a few hours playing it.

[@SomethingEpic]

Hi there! Thanks for the feedback! You were right about the missing wool pieces. If you message us your email address I will send the correct ones to you (We're updating the download as well). I suspect the cavity beneath the wheat may be a slicing error (we have had similar issues) but we'll double check. We've actually had good results printing the dragon using fdm, but a resin printer sure works well for those tiny details.

[@stevesswamp]

@@SomethingEpic The Wheat tiles did print better individually. It was when I tried to print all 6 at the same time that I had the error, so you may be correct about the slicing error. And, I'll add that the Dragon issues that I had were mostly due to support generation. And I will admit that I went fairly heavy on the supports.

[@andrewmoulton8019]

WOW... I just sold my Catan game cause I was bored with it. You guys made it interesting again. Ever thought of producing and selling? I would buy a set from you!

For best results I recommend 5mm spherical magnets. We have not tested with any other sizes so I can't guarantee they will work.
