My 3D printed 'R's have finally been printed and posted to me. I did order them in purple, although they had ran out so I decided to go with green instead. I actually think this is better than purple, as i have used this quite a lot within the game so the green would be nice to break it up.
I originally wanted purple as it is the only colour which is not one of the categories on the board so i decided to use it for the main colour for the packaging and the name on the board.
Although i like the 'R's, if i had to do it again, i would consider making them slightly larger and less fragile. They are a good prototype, to show my ideas but in comparison to the board, it is quite small and there is a worry that they could be lost etc.
This would be easier if i could have met with the 3D designer (my brother) in person, as my ideas of size etc. would be easier to explain and show in person. But overall, i am really happy with these, it has been great working with different techniques and out-sourcing 3D printers etc. I think this made me see a bit of what it would be like to create a product like this professionally and what the costings would be.
I only ordered 6, although they sent an extra one, the price of the print was only about £3.50, thats with student discount, excluding delivery. Although this is a good price, if i had printed the full amount needed for the game to function, this could be quite expensive but it is something you would have to budget and shop around for when producing something like this.
