Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

  1. Play nicely with others here.
  2. Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
  3. Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

That just looks like cnc milling tho

To be honest, if you had access to the equipment that would be a lot more practical way to make this. Get a piece of square bar stock of your chosen metal, cut it into cubes, and then engrave and polish. That said, most people don't have that kind of stuff just lying around. Maybe if you've got access to a makerspace or a shop thru work or some really, really good friends.

I guess that's praise for how far 3d printing has come nowadays!

That's really awesome. It's amazing what can be done with 3D printing now.

It looks great! But it will fuck your table up, even through a cloth. Make sure to get a roll bowl before you use it!

Looks pretty but kinda impractical. You're basically firing bullets into your table unless you've got some sort of heavily padded surface 😬

So, perfect for a Matrix campaign, then?
