Customizable Woden dnd rpg DM/GM screen

I wasn’t satisfied with the 3D-printable DM screens I found online, so I decided to design my own. It’s half wood, half printed—a perfect balance between natural materials and plastic, while reducing filament usage at the same time.

All you need is a piece of an old wooden board and your 3D printer!

• One front board
• Recommended thickness: ~10 mm
• Two side boards (one for each wing of the screen)
• Cannot be longer than half of the front board
• Best if thinner than the front board
• You can use a second board similar to the front one and cut it in half
• All three boards should have the same height
• Boards can be wooden, metal, or any material you prefer

• Diameter: ~5 mm (around half the thickness of the front board)
• You can find wooden or metal ones in almost every DIY store or print them by yourself

• Left middle hinge
• Left top hinge
• Left bottom hinge
• Right middle hinge
• Right top hinge
• Right bottom hinge

• D&D logo (or any custom front decoration)
• Left and right wing flourishes (purely decorative)

This is a very important part . If you’re using boards with different dimensions than mine (see below) —or if you want to change anything—you’ll need to adjust the project parameters.

If you don’t have Fusion 360, leave a comment and I’ll create a customized .stl file for you!

You can also use example files , which are designed to fit:

• 30x50cm front board, 10mm thick
• two 30x25cm side boards, 3mm thick
• 6mm rod

• Download the Dm screen parametric.f3d file
• Launch Fusion 360 and open the downloaded file
• Click change parameters
• Adjust the parameters as needed ( see the parameters below )
• Optionally, customize the flourishes by editing the sketches directly
• Export the file as .stl / .step
• Load the file into your slicer and delete objects marked ref
• These are reference models of the boards and don’t need to be printed
• Arrange the models as you like it and print

See the images above!!!

• Prepare the boards and hinge rods.

This is the last moment to sand, stain, or paint the boards.

• Glue the top and bottom hinges to the front board .
• Insert the middle hinge into the right side board and glue it in place.
• Glue the decorative flourishes to the right side board (optional).
• Insert the right side board’s hinge assembly into the gap between the front board hinges.
• Insert the hinge rod into the top hole.

If it doesn’t fit, lightly sand the rod until it slides in smoothly.

• Repeat the same steps for the left side board .
• Glue the logo (or any front decoration) onto the front board.
• Done!!!
