PLAY Polypanels are more robust than the standard panels but the connections are looser. It's the perfect combination for young ones or anyone who doesn't want to deal with the full power of the mighty polypanel!

That said, printer calibration can still affect the connection strength of your Polypanels, making them hard to connect or to loose to hold together. The first thing you might want to play around with is extrusion multiplier or flow rate. More troubleshooting tips on the [Polypanels webpage](https://www.makeanything.design/polypanels#Tips).

_**Printing Guidelines**_

Already rather sturdy at 2 shells, 10% infill, but you may want to go up to 3+ shells for longevity.

This is _version 2.0_ of the game, with many exciting upgrades:
- All parts newly redesigned and 50 problems in total!
- The 'bits' have larger hinges that are stronger, easier to print, and fit into the problems more visibly. 
- The bits and problems can no longer be placed upside down by accident. 
- Everything was scaled up 120% so the bits are easy to pick up an manipulate by all hands big and small. 
- The problems have been redesigned to use less material but maintain the necessary rigidity
- I've moved the number labels to the front to make them much more clear. 
- I've rearranged some of the problems so the difficulty increases more progressively at first.
- Thanks to the brilliant solver program by [Darci Peoples](https://darcipeoples.com/), I've changed many of the problems to have fewer solutions, making certain problems significantly more challenging!
- The updated solution guide PDF is attached, including problems 001-050

**_Printing Guidelines_**
- bits : 0.16mm layer height, 2-3 walls, 0.4mm nozzle, 15% infill
- problems : 0.16-0.25mm layer height, 1 wall, 100% infill; *printing the first layer with one wall can help with bed adhesion of the number labels*
- board : 0.16mm layer height, 2-3 walls, 15% infill; *for better grid visibility swap filaments at 1.5mm layer height
- cover : _'wLogo'_ version is two parts. Print combined using a multicolor printer or using [Multipass Multicolor Printing](https://makeanything.design/multipass-multicolor/) technique for single extruders.
- board_premium : filament swap at 8.2mm height for better grid visibility. _'TPUgrip'_ can be glued to the bottom for a nonslip board, printed with TPU 95a or similar flexible filament. Use [E6000](https://amzn.to/3UIOdso) adhesive or similar.
- case : use _'size20'_  together with _'Sleeve_Wide'_ or _'size30'_ with _'Sleeve_Tall'_. Wide sleeve holds 21 or 20 problems with the Handle, Tall sleeve holds 27 or 26 problems with Handle. Handle can be used loose (slide in from the bottom of the sleeve) or glued into place.

Polypanels // PLAY Triangle

play-triangle.stl

I made this to create an adaptable wall organization system for my CNC tools. These pieces are for 0.25" and 0.125" end mills (or bits, or whatever). Bits are quite spaced out which makes for easy access!

**What are Polypanels?**

_"Welcome to the world of Polypanels, a system of snap together parts that let you build whatever you want! It’s like an open-ended construction toy for making functional things, harnessing the power of 3D printing and the community to make it truly  limitless."_

[Intro to Polypanels](https://www.makeanything.design/polypanels)

---

_**Printing Guidelines**_

A high wall thickness of 5 shells/perimiters will ensure solid snap connectors. From there settings can vary based on your desired outcome. Print solid for the most robust and long lasting joints, or print a lower infill with 0 top and bottom layer thickness for a cool exposed infill pattern.

Polypanels // Bit Holder - 1/4" and 1/8" (6mm, 3mm)

bit-0-25.stl

This panel was made to hold the Allen Key set for my CNC, but I'm sure it could serve all sorts of alternate uses. Simply two holes 6.5mm in diameter.

It's that awkward odd-sided polygon often ignored among it's more popular relatives. Let's give the heptagon some love!
