About this model

This passthrough tic tac toe game changes the whole rhythm of the game, because you cannot just place a piece anywhere. It is a hybrid of Tic Tac Toe and Connect 4, and you drop each piece from the top, so every move has to be planned a little further ahead.

That is the fun of it, and also the catch. This is the 0.5 (Beta) version, and I am still improving it with each update. The internal geometry is complex and may extend print time, but I have printed this model multiple times to check reliability, and the result is worth that extra patience.

Print settings

  • Infill: 30%-50%
  • Infill type: Gyroid
  • Supports: none
  • Brim: not recommended
  • Filament: PLA or PETG

Tips

  • Inner pieces: set XY Size Compensation to -0.35 mm for the separate inner pieces, and keep the game board exactly at -0.2 mm. Keep the two values separate in my slicer.
  • Sequential printing: highly recommended for the inner pieces to reduce stringing and improve quality.
  • Adhesion: if adhesion is an issue, try a textured sheet with better grip.
  • Included print profile: a file with optimized settings is included to help streamline your print.
