Takenoko Tile Holders and Irrigation Channels

I saw geodesign's grid and canals for Takenoko and really liked the models (maybe because just the day before we'd managed to accidentally knock over our elaborate tile layout ☹).

However, I really wanted single tile holders, not triples. Plus, geodesign used the No Derivates CC license, which means I couldn't just do a simple remix. So, a trip to Fusion 360 it was, to implement my own versions of the tile holders and irrigation channels.

An additional feature is that you can stack the tile holders and save space, by rotating them slightly against each other. That way they fit into my organizer for this game https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/37390-insertorganizer-for-takenoko

(Sidebar: I first started with a design that uses small diametrically magnetized magnets to keep the tiles together. But while it's certainly aesthetically more pleasing, I felt spending $30 or so on magnets for a game that I like but don't play often was a bit too much)

Supports: No
Resolution: 0.2
Infill: 10%

Notes:

The game features the following number of plots:
11 green
9 yellow
7 pink
1 pond tile

So if you want to have one tile holder per tile, it's a total of 28. But then again, I haven't seen a game yet in which we laid down all tiles so you may get by with fewer. I printed them in the three colors of the game, plus gray for the pond, but that's obviously only cosmetics.

Additionally, you'll need 20 copies of the irrigation channels. Most printers should be able to fit all 20 on the print bed and print all them in one run.

I have attached GCODE files for 20 irrigation channels, as well as three versions of tile holders:
One copy
Two copies
Four copies. For which PrusaSlicer complains that there are some paths outside of the print area but the model prints okay nonetheless.
