I Upgraded my Modular Sci-fi Terrain with MAGNETS!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
- After designing and building my own fully modular Laser Cut Sci Fi terrain for Warhammer 40k, Necromunda, Corvus Belli Infinity, Stargrave and more I wanted to see how it could be improved? Can magnets make the terrain even better? Turns out that, yes, they really can!
Now this Laser Cut terrain gets even better with the addition of magnets, a new part and some minor tweaks.

Love these! I won't be getting a laser cutter anytime soon, so very keen for commercial ones :)
Hopefully soon!
I think you underestimated how fast they can steal cats down sarf
Yea, probably by a ton!
I love these building modules. I have a vision in my head of dropship/lander that carries them from the orbital ship, somewhere between the Starship Troopers dropship and the Space 1999 Eagle.
Hmm, a drop ship. I wonder how easy that would be to make….🤔
Go on you know you want to 😄
I think that last bit about not having to magnetize them all is a big seller to me. I'm not a massive fan of magnets for minis, only my vehicles. The idea of magnetizing everything sounds like a bore. Only doing a bit for better customization is a wonderful idea.
Can't wait for the commercial release
Yes, my thoughts exactly. Magnetising everything, everywhere drives me crazy. Only mag the bits that you may want to swap. No more. And if you never want to swap them - have parts that’ll just glue.
Would love to see the commercial kit when it comes out. Having some fully assembled and used as mini storage would look amazing when they aren't being used.
Ooh! That’s a good idea, I like that
I hope the whole commercial thing works out for you mate, as all the work you put into doing this should be rewarded 👍😊
Thanks Frank! You never disappoint! 😀
That's pretty cool. I hope the commerical version takes off for you.
Thanks !
I really love that you're advancing this idea on its own rather than deciding to use this idea for future projects, I really appreciate it.
I do too. But it looks like YT doesn’t, sadly. Pah! On we go. 😀
Had what I think is a brain wave what about making some angle joiners at least 30 and 45 degrees, but preferably also 60 and 90 Degrees this would allow the Hab blocks to follow a contour ( say a cliff or crater edge) but more importantly allow for construction of fully connected building eg triangle, rectangle, even Hexagon and so on. Even more flexibility for an already incredible system. Congratulations and thanks again.
That’s actually a really great brainwave. I’ll look into that. Thanks!!!
Man if you sell this commercially I’d be all over that!
Hopefully before xmas
I mean everyone else has said it but if these become available as a kit I 100% want a set. Your last video actually had me looking at Lazer cutters but I simply don’t have the space! However I wanted to say this looks like a brilliant project and to whom ever you are speaking to about the commercial side I think this is 100% viable and they should be paying you a decent sum for the rights!
Also as a relatively recent addition to your audience I love the style of your videos, they are great!
Cool. We’re actually talking about getting them out by Christmas and doing a discount for TSOP viewers/Patrons. Fingers crossed!
Keep us updated on the commercial mdf kits! Sounds like a winner! Such a great idea with the magnets too.
Will do!
This is awsome ! Makes for many options outside of the standard things already out there , keep it coming please love it !
I’m going as fast as I can! 🤣🤣🤣thanks!!
Great design and super concept. Good luck if you move forward with the commercial availability.
Thanks! That’s appreciated!
Excellent terrain
Thanks!
Amazing kit I'd love to produce something so nice so go you for finding someone and I'll definitely get your partion when I get the chance amazing designs
Thanks man! Really kind words.
I can so see the attraction of using magnets.
I see what you did there. Coz magnets are super hot, yeah…..😳
@@thestateofplay2023 I won't judge you and your bizarre magnet fetish.
I was taught to respect people even if they are the polar opposite to me.
Honestly I want to buy this
Hopefully before Christmas!
magnets also help if your laser cutter has a bigger focus than the one they were designed with. I have a diode laser not a co2 and its focus size is 0.08*0.10mm most co2 have much smaller dot because they are not combining multiple lasers dots. So none of the ones I have been cutting with this machine are friction fit anyway with the patron files.
I meant friction fit on the plastic kits I’ve modified on my channel. I have a diode laser too and the MDF is t friction fit on mine either. Holds together, but still needs glue. Although I can pop off parts due to where I placed the tabs. But I agree, magnets work so much better! 😀
Will you be updating your plans for the magnets, I'm interested in picking a full set up
Yes, I’ll be updating Patreon asap.
Thank you, I don't have my own cutter yet, could you recommend one, I'm UK based presently , Thank you for replying.@@thestateofplay2023
If this goes into a commercial product, I'm interested! Even if just the files are available for purchase, I have a friend who loves to use his laser cutter. (My shop is too open to the elements at the moment for much more than a forge, but when it's resided...)
The files are available for purchase on my Patreon. No Patreon signup required. 😀 Link in the description!
@@thestateofplay2023 thank you!
Hello
Your work is amazing.
If the company that is going to commercialised you're amazing work. Falls through, I would be honoured to work with you.
I am a small laser cut MDF terrain company from the UK. That specialises in modular terrain.
Thank you! 👍🏼
pls consider making the kit out of thick cardboard (prepainted and decorated on both sides).
check the Trader Encampment Battle Systems for image reference
Ooh! Sounds good but that’s an entire business concept I don’t think I’ll be able to do sadly. I wish I had the time and money to do it.
@@thestateofplay2023 other than decoration (and you've shown you can do that already with the preprinted tiles), the only thing you would need to do is make another version of the design with the appropriate cut-outs for the clips to hold it together. Battle systems terrain is based on 3mm card so you already have the spacing right . . .
This is true. I have 6 kits worth of battle systems terrain I use for Zombicide. I’ve tried doing this before but can’t get the card to run through my printer. It’s too thick. You can print on paper and glue back to back, but it’s too thin. Putting card in between two sheets of printed paper works but the time it takes to get it right isn’t worth it, sadly. Mainly because the thickness of whatever you make has to be perfect or the clips either don’t fit or rip the paper you glued to the card.
This idea works better commercially printed directly onto the right thickness of card.
Really interested in buying your files for this. Just wondering, are they already prearranged into sheets of a certain size? How much square space would one of the largest buildings need? Many thanks!
They’re all prearranged on an A4 sheet. The largest building is the full width of A4 so about 20cm by 20cm.
If you go to the earlier video it shows the designs in illustrator. All the ‘pages” are always A4 (210mm by 297mm)
Waiting on the video about buying these theyre amazing but i got too many hobby tools already lol
Hopefully sometime in the new year. Maybe before Xmas. Not sure as I’m not doing distribution. 👍🏼
@@thestateofplay2023 before Christmas man I need a Christmas treat I swear I'm on the nice list lol seriously tho just release a video when they're ready to ship I'll order some
Magnets are way better. The small pins will only break off after a while, seen that before. Awesome though!
Yeah, I came to the same conclusion. 😀
Wouldn't the center pieces help unifying polarity for the magnets? All the magnets get unified showing the same polarity outwards from the main pieces and the opposite polarity outwards from the accessories. Use a stick with two magnets as a tool to make sure you put em in right. That way you couldn't mess up, but you couldn't put 2 bodies together . The middle pieces as accessories would fix that and you get the best of both worlds
I believe that’s what I did. Although probably more by accident than via your excellent explanation. 🤣
Just do matching polarity in opposite diagonal corners and every single piece with match every other as when rotated 180 laterally they'll meet the opposite polarity and attract
Yes! That’s how it worked out in the end. 👍🏼
@@thestateofplay2023Not everything has to be a magnet either. A ferris piece of metal doesn't care about polarity.
This…is an excellent scientific point.
