Description

This is a blank single hex tile for board-construction games using interlocking and stacking hex tiles. The STL file as uploaded is the basic generic form of the output of the OpenSCAD file; if you want tiles with other hex layouts, to change the texture of the face of the tile from a blank hexagon, or generate half-height (textureless) tiles, use the Customizer.

I have added several sample heightfield files for use as the tile face texture source; preview the file and save it to your desktop, then pick that file in the Customizer as the face texture.

An additional parameter has been added that controls whether or not a heightfield file will be used to texture the raised center of the hex faces; if this parameter is set to 'no', a blank raised hex face will be used, giving tiles like the ones in the uncustomized hex tile download.

Added a parameter to generate a minimal support structure for the underside of the tile faces to address bridging issues, which can be easily clipped out.
