Scripts to generate STL's for 3D-printing storage boxes for the Gloomhaven board game

Gloomhaven Character 3D printables

Download the models on Printables:

• For Gloomhaven
• For Jaws of the Lion
• For Frosthaven
• for Custom Classes

This is a collection of tools for generating some 3D models for 3D printing organizers for gloomhaven. The code is set up so that you can generate the items with any of the various gloomhaven class icons (or really, any arbitrary SVG.)

Dependencies

In order to run this code, you need the following installed on your computer:

• OpenSCAD
• GNU Make (Optional, should be installed by default on Linux, try here for windows.)

Building

To build all of the official classes (Gloomhaven, Forgotten Circles, Jaws of the Lion), just open a terminal in this directory and run make. To make those classes plus all of the custom classes, run make all.

You can also run make {target} to build a different set of classes, eg:

• make GH makes Gloomhaven classes
• make FC makes just the diviner
• make JOTL makes the Jaws of the Lion classes
• make custom makes all of the custom classes
• Run with a class name (make 01_Brute, make C_Artificer) to make just that class.

Building without make

You can build all of the scad files just using openscad. For the most part, parameters that can be tweaked are at the top of the files. Each model that uses the character icons has a variable called icon_file that you can change to different values for the different classes. You can do this manually, or at the command line by running (for example):

openscad source/scad/characterbox_icon.scad -D icon_file="\"../../icons/02_Tinkerer.svg\"" -o tinkerer_icon.stl

Note that the paths for icon_file are always relative to the scad file.

Adding more classes/Using your own Icons

To generate all the files for another class, you need to add an svg file with the class's icon to the resources/icons folder. The svg file needs to be the right size: the icon should be centered on a 100mmx100mm canvas. It's useful to add a 100mm diameter circle to help see what it will look like on the circular pieces:

just be sure to delete the circle before using the file, or openscad will import the circle on top of the icon. Inkscape is useful for editing svg files.

You can build a class with an icon like this using OpenSCAD with the steps above. To make the class available to build with make, add it to one of the classes lists (classes_gh, classes_custom, etc.) in Makefile.

Spoilers

There's a bit more in this repo that's been obfusticated because it spoils some in-game secrets. If you know what you're looking for, check the readme in the spoilers directory.
