Customisable tile grid for tabletop games such as Carcassonne, Karak, Isle of Skye, Alhambra and many more...

I stumbled across OpenSCAD while looking at another tile grid design. It was a tool I hadn't come across before and it piqued my curiosity. This first design was intricate and complex and proved to be a steep learning curve. When I realised that it shouldn't have been so complex, I decided to start from scratch. This decision marked the beginning of my journey with OpenSCAD.
I immersed myself in OpenSCAD and began to explore its capabilities. There were moments of frustration mixed with bursts of understanding. Gradually I discovered the powerful features of OpenSCAD. Its ability to produce detailed designs with precision was fascinating. Within days I had developed a solid understanding of OpenSCAD. Completing my first projects was very satisfying. This journey was about more than just learning a tool; it was about embracing challenges and the joy of creating something from scratch.

To customise the tile grid you need to download the program from the OpenSCAD - The Programmers Solid 3D CAD Modeller website and run the tile_grid.scad file.
