![]() This is for preventing light bleed between adjacent LEDs of different colors (highly recommended if you want stark contrasts between colors).Wood stain or paint (for a nice finish!).Small bags for the cards and various game pieces.You will need 242 (if my math is correct).You might want to glue them in place regardless of the fit You'll also need a drill/drill bit that will fit the magnets snuggly.This is where you'll need the miter/table saw to cut 30 degree angles.1/4 inch thick wood for the perimeter paneling of the board.You'll also need a way to secure the bottom and top plywood layers together (perhaps strong velcro or medium sized magnets).I used 6 pieces of 1/2 inch scrap wood on each of the vertices to distance the bottom and top plywood layers. The distance between your LEDs and the acrylic will partly dictate how the light is diffused.Some kind of stilt to separate the top and bottom pieces of wood/MDF.You'll want a material such as the 5.6mm opal acrylic which does a solid job at diffusing the LEDs.I've designed all the EPS files compensating for a 0.2mm kerf width. ![]() Again, I'd recommend Ponoko for cutting these.Laser cut acrylic resource and port tiles (vector files provided).Frankly, the bottom doesn't need to be laser cut if you can trace/saw your own hexagonal base. You'll probably want the 6.2mm plywood or MDF for the top but the bottom can be thinner at 3.2mm. ![]() Again, make sure everything in black is being cut while everything in red is being etched (the red dots provide a guide for drilling the magnet holes).If you decide to use another laser cutter, make sure that you read their documentation on laser kerf width since you want to make sure the fit with the acrylic tiles is snug (the kerf width affects this).I found my board on Etsy but the EPS files I've provided very closely resemble it but with the correct port locations.Laser cut plywood game board (vector files provided).Use 1mm clear acrylic and make sure the black circles are cut and the red numbers/letters are etched.Their customer service is also super helpful if you have any questions. The above link is to Ponoko which I found to be a very reliable online laser cutting resource. ![]()
