{"product_id":"hextraction-starter-tile-set","title":"Hextraction Starter Tile Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a set of the recommended starter tiles for Zack Freedman's Hextraction game. All of these tiles are in the basic set Zack recommends for just getting started with the game. I've assembled them into a single project because it's a bit of a hassle to pull all the models together manually, and this project makes it easy to do colorized prints of particular Hextraction tile sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt includes, each on its own plate:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 basic tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Trap tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 Flip-flop tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 Secret tiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 pairs Teleport tiles, plus rule card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Clone tiles, plus rule card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 Sozu tiles (not part of Zack's starter set, but these may be better for younger kids)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis project is designed to take full advantage of an X1 with AMS: the full size of the build plate is used, particularly to minimize AMS filament changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo print profiles are provided - one in PLA, and the other in PETG.
