Tic Tac Toe Jump is an exciting tabletop game where the objective is to be the first to complete a row of three balls of your color by launching them with your catapult, positioned on your side of the board. The catapult is designed to be adjustable, allowing you to aim left or right for more strategic plays. Tic Tac Toe Jump offers a fun challenge, as the real difficulty lies in accurately calibrating your launch to hit the right squares.
To assemble the game, simply 3D print all the individual parts: two bases for the catapults, two complete catapults, one game board, and one grid. Tic Tac Toe Jump is designed for 32mm diameter rubber balls (easily available) that need to be purchased separately. The bases of the catapults slide into the game board base using the provided guides.
To assemble the catapult, follow these steps: Insert the pin into the hole from the bottom of the base and, using light finger pressure, push until it locks into the designated slot. With your fingers, squeeze the slot where the pin is inserted, place the catapult base over the pin's thread, and screw it in tightly. Insert the spiral between the two vertical supports of the base, aligning the central hole with those of the base. Then, insert the central pin with some pressure to secure the spiral to the catapult base. Screw the basket onto the top of the catapult. Finally, insert the grid into the game board. And just like that, the game is ready to play!
This game is easy to 3D print using PLA with a 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height, 15% infill, and 2 perimeters. Enable tree supports only for the catapult components, as all other parts do not require any supports.
