I was looking to make a scrabble tile set in portuguese that isnt available where i'm from. couldn't find any solutions so i used “von potatoad”'s great file as a basis to make my own.
Features:
- full, official Portuguese Scrabble point distributions (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrabble_letter_distributions )
- appropriate number of copies for each of the tiles, according to official Portuguese Scrabble rules
- Raised letters for easy color changing, with or without AMS (see print profiles)
- ironed top surfaces for a smooth finish
just make sure you don't have any cheaters who try to recognize the raised letters by feel when they're grabbing new tiles from the bag ;)

Parametric Scrabble / Word Game Tile Generator
If you want more options or create your own scrabble or word game tiles, I've attached the SCAD file for easy customization.
Open the .scad-file in OpenSCAD and use the parameter table to customize the scrabble tile to your liking.
Potential use cases and features:
- Use non-standard characters
- assign different point values to the letters according to the language of your choosing (helpful charts for official and unofficial point distributions for different languages can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrabble_letter_distributions )
- 2 separate text boxes on the tile with separate alignment and sizing options - one for the letter, one for the point value
- ability to engrave or extrude the textboxes with customizable heights (or do a combination of both)
- customizable size of the actual tiles
TROUBLESHOOTING TIP: if you want to extrude the letters on the tile, for some reason the threshold is “-2mm” (so a value of -3 actually extrudes the letter for 1 mm).
