3D Printable Hive City: Kickstarter

Freunde von Hexfeldern könnten bei diesem Kickstarter fündig werden.

WHAT IS HIVE CITY ?

This project was born out of the need to represent a fully customizable Campaign Map for use with any Sci-Fi/Dark Grimm/Futuristic Board game, Role playing game or simply for display.

The final City you could achieve with those tiles, can fit a wide array of universe. From „Blade runner“, to „Total Recall“ to any post apocalyptic and Dark universe like „Necromunda“, „Titanicus“, „40k“ …

Friends and I use to play many Dark Grimm and Futuristic games with miniatures like Necromunda, Kill Team and the urge for a fully modular city with several levels emerged as soon i got my first 3D printer in 2019.

After conclusive print tests, the project became as strong and real as the community around started to grow.

With almost a thousand followers at the PopovLaboratory that were suggesting, voting, sharing ideas, we now have a full set of tiles covering different games well known to all. (Specially Old and New Necromunda, but also 40k, Kill Team etc…)

Those sets will continue to evolve through the Stretch Goals and beyond. I am committed to produce more all along 2022 going to the wasteland and covering other themes and game universes.

By sharing those digital files, players around the world will be able to represent any futuristic Hive Cities of their needs, and play their favorite games using it as a medium to their Campaigns.

„4 Tiles radius Hive – Could be up to any height and size you need“

HIVE CITY IS A DIGITAL STL’s FILES CAMPAIGN FOR 3D PRINTERS ONLY.  

• Each Tile have 6 slots at the Back allowing to clip what we call „Connectors„. Those Connectors keep the tiles firmly connected together allowing the hive to be moved without loosing parts.

I made this choice because it’s was the only way to exchange a tile for another in an existing setup without having to undo everything.

• In addition, these slots also allow to clip „Extensions„. An Extension represents an annex to a Territory. Like Planetary Defense, Storage, Armored outer shell,  Elevators …

• Each Tile also have 6 carved holes at the back allowing to connect „Upgrades“ . Upgrades comes in 3 Sizes and allow to build stages and rise your Hive. (Tier2)

• There are no limits to how high your Hive will go as soon as you keep using „Sockets Tiles„. Socket tiles are a 2nd Version of Original tiles. This version includes 6 Sockets to support any Upgrades.

Depending on how you want your Hive to look, you could print it only with Sockets Tiles, or keep the Original to cover any surface level for a smoother look.

Once printed, you can choose to paint them. In the following examples we have decided to go for a Martian theme to reveal all the details.  But at this point, it’ll be up to you to decide.  Original tiles size is close to Epic40k or Titanicus scale. Those could be used as much as scenery as campaign materials.

Each of the tiles shown on this page have already been printed, tested and according to your 3D Printer are 100% as detailed as what you see here.

• This Project have been built with Resin 3D Printer in mind. And each tiles will be provided Pre-Supported for you to escape painful adjustments when printing.

Those support have been a long time research, as it has to be as strong as possible for your printing not to warp and avoid too much suction. The challenge was to deal between the Geometric hex base and the Scenery on the top of it.

Das sind die Pledges:
