Post-Printing

LIght Sanding

As these pieces are going to be used a lot when playing the game, your looking for a close fit, but not too tight.

The Game I remember needs a dice, which there are plenty on Thingiverse, roll a 6 to start with a Body, the 5 for a Head , 4 for each Wing , 3 for each Leg, and only when you have a head can you roll a 1 for each Antenna or 2 for each Eye

Winner is when Beetle complete.

If you print Beetles in many colours then multi coloured Beetles are possible while playing the game, making it more fun

How I Designed This

Remembering and old Game from my 60's Childhood

Just a new version of an old fun family game, with the extra fun of using multiple colours and translucent filaments the game can take on a new life.

Custom Section

Maybe somebody can remix to add LED bulbs and as Beetle is complete it lights up.
