Hextraction Trap Tiles - Double and Triple Trap
Craft sneaky strategies with these tricky tiles! They trap the first ball to enter each path, allowing you to outmaneuver foes in Hextraction, the hackable, 3D-printable board game.
The Triple Trap Tile can trap up to two balls, one each in different directions. Be careful entering too fast... it can be a bit touchy.
The Double Trap Tile only captures a single ball, but can be installed in four different orientations. It will occasionally trap too many balls, which are easy to knock loose!

All of my Hextraction tiles have a built-in sacrificial support under each notch - remember to snap it off after printing. Enable the brim if these detach from the bed.
Hextraction is a 3D-printable, modder-friendly board game designed by me, Zack Freedman of Voidstar Lab. In addition to tiles, you'll also need 10mm steel balls or 3/8" slingshot ammo and a game board. To learn the rules and how to get started, watch the Hextraction video!
Hextraction is absolutely free - it's free of charge - all of my models are here on Thangs, commercial use allowed. It's free-form - you can play with any number of opponents, even zero. It's free to modify - you can create your own tiles and configure your own board.

They don't work with 10mm balls :(
The .STEP files for these aren't even 'real' step files, they're just STL meshes wrapped into a .STEP format.
Makes it a lot less straight-forward to remove the dumb and unneccessary 'sacrificial support'. Why was that even included anyway?! Every slicer released in the last 5 years can do far better, and a properly set up printer can bridge the gap perfectly anyway.
The double-trap model has an error, the sacrificial support are one or two layers above the surface, so they "print" in the air. It can be printed "upside down" but the end result is not as clean.
