Dear Backers!

Today we have another 30+ files for you to enjoy in Wave 3.5 “Future Past”! After several weeks of head scratching and filament wasted, we finally have Wood Planks for everyone! But that's not all, we have snuck in some surprises as well.

This is our 5th of 6 planned releases/waves to get you everything that was unlocked during the campaign.

Wood Plank PlayTiles

If you recall in update #13 Wave 2.0, we shared the issue we were having getting Wood Plank PlayTiles to print on non-Prusa printers. This required a lot of testing. We were able to minimize the printing imperfections but didn't think that was good enough so we started from scratch and found a way to eliminate them completely.

In this release you will find two sets of Wood PlayTiles. One set is meant to be printed face up (Horizontal), the other set is meant to be printed on its' side (Vertical). The Horizontal PlayTiles are meant to be printed on Prusa printers as well as other printers that do not have the issues we ran into. The Vertical PlayTiles are for all other printers. These are not merely the same sets positioned differently, each set was recreated from the ground up for its' print orientation. 

 

If you are unsure which set you should use, we recommended printing a quarter PlayTile from both sets in the orientation provided to see which you prefer.

In additional to the Wood Plank PlayTiles, one stretch goal that was unlocked was Wood Plank Accessory PlayTiles. These feature wood plank bases with walls that can be printed in a different filament to deliver a sophisticated look. Wood Plank Accessories consist of the following:

• Triple Component
• Dice Tray
• Mixed Card
• Component Cup

The Wood Plank Accessory PlayTiles are meant to be printed face up (horizontally).

SciFi PlayTiles

The last pieces needed to print your own StageTop SciFi Table are now available! In addition to the 4 PlayTile sizes (Full, Corner, Half, Quarter), the themed Component PlayTile is also available.   

Misc

Rail - Lite - Anti Corner: Lite Rail users were missing out on the Anti Corner movement so we have decided to throw in an additional free model so they could join the fun!

Leg Lock - Small, Medium & Regular: Speaking of FREE, a request was made to combine the Frame Lock with a Leg... We loved the idea and after a few iterations... BOOM! Leg Lock was born! Available in small, medium, and regular sizes these can be used along edges to connect rails or anywhere else on your table.   

The Fixes

Rail - Stronghold - Corner v2: There were some floating regions found in our Stronghold Corner Rails that added an additional hour or more in print time and could lead to clogs or printing issues. Those have been eliminated and Rail - Stronghold - Corner v2 should completely replace the old corner. Sorry for the error and special thanks to the community for bringing it to our attention.

What's next?

With just one wave left to go and it is going to be exciting!

Wave 4 – Light & Lift (June)

• LED Rails
• Stackable Legs
