RifRaf Carcassonne Custom Integrated Score Board

This is a 3D printed custom Score Board for RifRaf Carcassonne.

Can be used as a stand alone board apart or integrated as a start point for the game, just place it in the table center, it has two river end tiles included or place the board and start a River or River II set (included in another post) going out for a massive game. Includes the score markers. It was printed just like a regular tile with instructions below with the layer separations and color changes, NO PAINTING! The number symbols are purposefully thin and should not distract from the "aesthetics" of the game and can be read from each side. It is the identical size as two sets of 12 tiles for 24 tiles total size. I will include some gaming pictures from the next big game we play...Enjoy!

Added the score tiles broke down to 12 individual smaller files that can be printed on small bed printers and then assembled and glued to get the full size Score Card.

Printed on a single extruder printer.

Check my posts for ALL the expansions to follow.

No two tiles are alike, all custom made with a “c” inlay and 3d texture to the fields and city floor... They are interlocking and can only be played in the correct position. There is very little to paint, I used 8 different colors of PLA filament and was very precise in my layering.

The compete set so far is finished here, see Rifraf Carcassonne…the River, The River II, Festivals, Inns & Cathedrals, Traders & Builders, Abbey & Mayor, The Princess & the Dragon, Hills and Sheep, The Tower, Under the Big Top, The King and Robber, The Gold Mines, The Ferries, and Meeples and alternates in my other posts…. over 280 Tiles total.

Approx. same size tiles as original. No two tiles are alike, all custom made with a “c” inlay and 3d texture to the fields and city floor... They are interlocking and can only be played in the correct position.

There is very little to paint, I used 8 different colors of PLA filament and was very precise in my layering. Great thanks to all who went before with their developing this game in it's many itineration's and the many parts.

While this is not a remix as I started every tile in the base game and all the expansions from scratch in order to work up a multi layered color change filament approach, (Although I did originally post that way, I have had to change that due to others copying and pasting to other download sites without any acknowledgments). With that said, I would like to acknowledge the great work by Ravix as I followed the tile fittings from that design to be compatible and also the river outlines of jfpion, much appreciated and I hope you ENJOY. Without the pioneers gone before us we would not be here today.

As new expansions arrive I plan on adding and updating the sets. Enjoy!

How I printed:

In PLA (Meeples in Transparent PLA colors) with a base height of .20mm and a layer height of .15mm with a 4mm nozzle. 4 Base layers and 3 top layers, 15% Cubic infill with a CONCENTRIC Top/Bottom fill pattern, This is important if you want the same layer divisions and “style”. I printed with a 3mm brim attached to all tiles, I found if I did not I got the occasional corner lift, but it did mean I had to trim the sides of all the tiles.

What I painted:

The tops of the farm and city houses..BROWN or RED, the 6 Volcano and 6 “portal” tiles from The Princess and the Dragon…GREY, and the filled in the garden squares using a toothpick and 4 different paints for the flowers…and the tops of the festival tents…The Vinyards and Hills were green, That’s it.

Some issues and tips:

This is very important…When slicing sometimes the tiles would not render with the correct number of top layers, for example the roads would only have a layer or two finished and then the fill would show through…or the fields would not have all the layers… for some reason, rotating the affected tile 90 degrees on the plate sometimes a couple times and then reslicing fixed this issue…do a good preview check to examine how your layers are printing… it was a ton of wasted prints for me to work this out.

THE INLAY:

The very base layer has the “C” cut out, if you make your base layer one color, then change to a different color for the next few layers the filament with just “flow” into this space and it looks like you have a nice inlay…it does not affect the rest of the printing in any way… this is the “poor man’s inlay trick”…also the concentric fill pattern on the bottom gives it the “scattered” look sort of like the original tiles.

The “3D effect:”

The fields have a darker layer under the light green, this adds to the textured look, also the City floor has a Dark brown layer followed by two copper layers for the “cobble stone” look, you can experiment with different color materials for enhance the “3d” look of these areas.

Printing and colors:

(How you slice will of course change any of these) I used Prusa Color print to define the layers.

For all tiles except the ones with a Cloister, the Cathedrals, and the Abbeys

-0-.35 Light Green (The Base color, will be shaded according to the subsequent layers)

-.35-1.25 Blue (For the "C", the base of the ponds and River)

-1.25-2.0 Skin (for the base of the roads)

-2.0-2.3 Copper (for the underlay dark field color)

-2.3-3.2 Light Green (for the fields)

-3.2-3.35 Dark Brown (for the underlay of the city floor)

-3.35-3.65 Copper (for the city floor)

-3.65 -4.1 Pearl White (for the base of the shields and emblems)

-4.1-4.55 Blue (for the shield and emblem tops)

-4.55-8.15 Khaki (for the walls)

-8.15---- Blue (for the wall tops and towers)

-For the Cloisters: Same to start then -3.65-9.95 is Khaki and then 9.95 and on is RED

-For the Cathedrals and Abbey: Same to start then 3.65-13.40 Khaki and then 13.40 and on is RED

Your choices and colors will vary according to what you deicide.. this is just what I did. Have Fun!, and of course if it works for you please send me a "like" or a BOOST!!
