Model Overview & Print Notes

Summary

Version 2 of the Balance Game, featuring:

  • a solid base with solid pieces
  • a lightweight base with hollow pieces
  • a custom die used to select the type of piece to play

All parts are designed for FDM printing with no supports required.

Description

This is Version 2 of the Balance Game, inspired by the my other model (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:7270669) and expanded with new features to improve gameplay and printing flexibility.

The project includes three main components.

1. Solid Base + Solid Pieces

  • Heavy and stable
  • More “premium” feel
  • Ideal for kids or frequent use thanks to increased durability

2. Lightweight Base + Hollow Pieces

  • Reduced material usage
  • Faster printing
  • Technical, modern look with perforated or hollow geometry
  • Fully compatible with the original gameplay

3. Custom Dice (Piece Selector)

  • A 4‑sided die (tetrahedron)
  • Each face corresponds to a type of piece
  • The die does not indicate colors

Suggested rules:

  • Roll the die and place the piece type shown
  • If that piece type is unavailable, skip the turn
  • If your move causes the structure to fall, you lose
