Tips & Settings:
No supports required for any of the files.
When printing the pegs, because they tend to be thin and tall, it is recommended that you print them with a brim AND set the brim gap to 0. In Bambu Studio this can be found in the “Others” tab, under the “Bed Adhesion” title, find “Brim-object Gap” and set it to 0 mm. This will help ensure that the pegs do not fall or tumble over mid print.
The more pegs there are the more challenging the game will be, so the Connect 4 and the Round 16 Pegs versions will be the most challenging.
For the Round 8 Pegs game, do not overtighten the screw, this will allow the wheel to spin more freely.
