3D Printing
Note: I'm printing on a Bambu A1 and use the Bambu slicer
I saw in the printing doc that the recommended layer height is 0.12mm, which is great for fine details. One place I've found that doesn't need the fine details is the open lock system at the bottom of the tiles and walls, and I've been using the Variable Layer Height setting on the Bambu slicer to change the bottom of the models that integrate with the open lock to be 0.16mm. This shaves off a bit of time since the advantage of the 0.12 layer height (high detail) isn't really needed down there. I'm not entirely sure on the time difference between 0.12 and 0.16, but I've been printing at 0.08 layer height and there's a significant time savings. It might be worth taking a look at! I also print the clips at 0.16mm.
Speaking of the clips, I found a great magnetic option that I prefer over the physical clips. These clips have a rotating magnet inside so they always spin to accept the opposite polarity of the tile next to it, and when used to build an entire map, there is enough attraction to keep it together while being flexible enough to make mid-game changes quickly. The file from this set I use specifically is OpenLock_Magnetic_Clip_Open_End_v3.stl with 3x3mm cylindrical magnets. I highly recommend adding them to your tiles!
