Settlers of Catan Magnetic Hex Shell

Model originally uploaded to Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4224510.

These shells hold the original tiles together with magnets. Each shell requires twelve 3mm cubic magnets, for a total of 228 (19 hexes * 12 magnets) to complete the original game set.

If you also want to print the port shells, note that an extra 18 magnets will be needed (9 ports * 2).

I can't seem to find 3mm Cubic Magnets on Amazon anymore, so here are some possible other places to look. I'm not endorsing any of these, so make sure to research them: Lightinthebox eBay NewEgg Search NewEgg NewEgg

!! IMPORTANT !! Magnets must be glued following a specific pattern! There are two magnets per side so every tile will connect to every other tile without repulsion. The very first magnet can be glued in any orientation, but its partner must be glued in opposing polarity; such that a side will attach when the shell is rotated. Subsequent gluings can be accomplished by placing loose magnets on a side of a completed shell, placing glue in the magnet holes, and pressing the shells together.
