This looks like a gridfinity 2 knockoff 🤔
it dous
Exept…..hexagons… and a game…not quite a modular storage system but I see your point
@@martinlisonbee9844 you really dont get the joke
@@martinlisonbee9844 His April fools video revealed the Gridfinity 2, which is exactly this, but as a joke. That's why people keep calling it a knockoff
U gonna get sued boih
the one thing that you could do right now is to make it infinitely repeatable so you can just attach as many of the base grids together as you want and either making the track longer or wider
Adding an (electric) Elevator Tile could be neat, and help with this.
@@ericlotze7724 that could actually be a neat part, or more specifically it's a neat board. Remove an end goal or add another path that leads to an elevator, possibly into a pachinko section that would allow for a second run. Like a bonus where you can double the score or lose it all. Hopefully my ramblings made sense
Der. That's why he called it "Base Grid".
@@Coastal_Cruzer you could chain boards together like a like a lego GBC
You're probably thinking of Gravitrax
Waiiit, TRADING tiles? That tickles my Pokemon-obsessed inner school kid in just the right way, trading little colorful plastic tokens for an open source board game where the rarity of a tile is only limited by how many people want to bother printing it is so nicely similar to artificially rare trading cards. Except we're all adults with 3d Printers now. I love it.
More like an advanced pog than pokemon
Promo tiles from Hextraction tourneys will be the shit
@@malakimphoros2164 they wouldn't be rare because of what kind of tile they are but because of some sort of special quality they have (such as a signature, a specific material, etc.). Still would be dang cool.
@@sunmoonfx8251 the legendary solid gold straight line tile
@@NutchapolSal Then there's the Osmium "Balls are stored in the P".
That second custom tile at 9:40 is never gonna let you down.
This needs to be pinned for public safety
This was the confirmation I needed, didn't even have to open the qr.
Is it gonna give you up tho?
is it truly a rick roll if you smelled it a mile away?
I wonder if a tile could be fitted with a sensor, speaker, etc. It could play a line from a different song each time a ball passes through. Call it the ear-worm tile. Or it could play an audio clip of Zack saying something cool/funny.
What if it was SCALED UP? Play Hextraction GIGA with billiard balls!
Also, I like the idea that which slot you roll down is decided by a die roll. I think I might try playing like that and compare how the game plays.
Time to injure some peeps with that spring-loaded ball launcher tile then. XD
Someone get Ivan Miranda on this!
@@apollolux my thought exactly. Imagine the spring your have to use to shoot a cue ball. Literally a face breaker
Billiard balls, we aren't here to breed human spider hybrids.
Go straight to bowling balls
Someone try to summon Ivan Miranda
I like the idea of mystery tiles, which don't reveal how they work internally - you just have to figure it out through trial and error. And if you are REALLY evil, make a pachinko mystery tile and let players come up with the WILDEST ideas of how it works
Great idea!
One could call it a steel ball run
IS THAT A MOTHERFUCKING JOJO REFERENCE ?????
So real
Thats it
This is, the *comment ever*
For people who don't understand the Steel Ball Run is a horse race that takes place in the 7th part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The 7th part of JJBA is also called Steel Ball Run as the race is very important to the part.
It would be cool to turn this into a digital version, call it “Hextraction Arena” and make it impossible to get interesting tiles
If they released that for PC on Steam, I’d buy it! Maybe they could even implement a built-in modding platform!
Mhhhhhh, it doesn't sound that hard to do either
Digital version that supports arbitrarily large boards with a big number of players for absolute chaos 🤩
I could actually make that, i just need tiles which shouldn't be hard to get
I would buy it on Steam in a heartbeat.
It's only a matter of time until someone makes a 4-bit calculator with this
inb4 doom on a hextraction board
I love how despite all your best efforts, the rules for this game exploded in complexity. Leave it to the 3D printing nerds (and me as one of them).
We don’t deserve you. You’re amazing and so is this creation. Please keep up the awesome work.
For the plinko pegs, a better option may be to just use some 12 gauge wire.
or some 4-5 mm metal shelf pegs. but that may mess with the spacing.
I was thinking bamboo skewers.
Toothpicks?
Maybe cut some butterfly clips?
Or M2 screws from the bottom?
You should seriously mass produce this so people without access to printers can play it too!
Yea!
Agree
Doesn’t that ruin the point of the game
@@aczinordp No, everyone else still has the option to print their own pieces and customize them. Even if it doesn't go commercial I'd love to buy it from someone
Definitiely!
Hey Zack, for the flipper tile, why not have a hole in the back of it that gets blocked or uncovered with the same action as the flipper moving itself? that way the closed path becomes a drop instead of clogging the system? I don't have the skills to make this.
This is a gravitrak ripoff
@@lextatertotsfromhell7673 Does Gravitrax have competitive multiplayer?
@@lextatertotsfromhell7673 This project predates Gravitrax. You know the time machine bit is a joke, right? He doesn't actually have one of those.
@@cogspace j was joking too.
Just a marble run game
Awesome! So good that you said powered version is coming at the end. I was already thinking lights, spinners, gears, electromagnets etc. 😁🔌
I've never wanted a 3D printer more than now
Two words: Tazer tile.
Relay logic gates which connect electrically in addition to paths. So you have to keep track of circuits in addition to effects 😅
@@defenestrated23 there's going to be some extreme stuff added via circuit boards aren't there.
probably also custom boards, depends on how it's set up
After getting out of Bakugan because it became a little too card and rule oriented and less focused on it's analog elements, this seems like a nice change. I could see myself buying a starter board and booster pack/expansions kits from a store if you could get a company to manufacture it. Ill probably have to get my dad to test this in his 3D printer, if he would ever actually set it up.
this seems like it could work as a videogame aswell, in say Tabletop simulator that has some physics.
Also, as it would be just about the ball bearings falling, it could have most of the effort be in physics and some graphics, and the extra effort be into a nice modding system to easily make tiles for it and some scripting thing for custom effect tiles
@@lightningblaze6449 It would be a great way to test if a new tile is overpower or not wiithout wasting filament
This is exactly the friendship-destroying party game I’ve been looking for all my life! Can’t wait to print and play it!!!
Hmm, I wonder if Hextraction Mini would be a good idea. Using BBs for balls and hex grid 18650 holders as base. Cheaper, more scalable and more portable/storable. And you can make wacky routes that aren't necessarily convex polygons.
Almost done printing everything. Really pumped! The kids are also pumped! Fun fact you can print everything for a starter set with about 3/4 of a roll of pla. That includes failures.
Also if you add a washer between the tile and the flipper it works great!
wow i actually thought it toook much more
hows the game? Would love to know!
@@TheHadi545 it's fantastic! Still working on a less elegant ball catcher so I don't have to print the gutters but otherwise it's been a ton of fun
@@MakeOrBreakSociety sweet! I started printing xD im all ears on any interesting things u have to say about it. I will share my experience once i start
All this needs is mystical creatures attached to each tile and you have a new multi million dollar cross media franchise
Any updates on the mirage keyboard?
He single handily destroyed card game power creep with physics
I'm starting to print these now, but the bridge support tab seems completely unnecessary and makes printing these much more annoying than they need to be. Also, most of the tile models are meshes, not STEP so modifying them becomes a huge chore.
Edit: Printing more pieces and I'm noticing that so many of these parts could have been designed with no glue needed, no splitting of the parts, not even supports needed. I'm really scratching my head here.
Also, the names of the files don't match what's in this video so printing the necessary parts was frustrating. The tolerances were also needlessly large and if you have a well tuned printer, the gaps between parts are huge.
Hextraction kinda reminds me of Gravitrax, a similar marble-based building set that uses hexagonal tiles, and I wonder...
Is Hextraction compatible with Gravitrax?
Yeah, I think this might be a ripoff
Okay, THIS one finally gave you my sub.
I SO hope this catches on and some people start collecting and trading tiles and bringing them to makers fairs.
Oooo, rule 1 has a veeery interesting loophole : TILES can't damage the board, tiles or players... meaning no rules prevent a custom *board* to do these things ;D
THIS REMINDS ME of a great PVP game from Puzzle Pirates where you get to keep any gold that drops to the bottom on your turn. It was really fun and satisfying to get multiple coins through at once and have them land on the multiplier tile. There's room to some cool modifiers of the rules to Hextraction. All you need to make something like the coin dropping game is a part that releases a trapped marble when a marble enters from the opposite side, and allows both marbles to fall.

FYI, if you're going to let Thangs sponsor you, you need to be aware that they're now forcing users to create accounts in order to download the files. It's a very bad look. Even Thingiverse doesn't do this.
Stunned. I enjoyed every second of this video and I'm stoked to print and play with friends! Thank you Zach!
I want to know total printing time and then use that as a "price" for the game. "1 easy payment of 420.69 hours of print time!"
You should add more gamemodes, like for every ball that gets stuck you have to draw a punishment card or something like that. I love this!
feel free to make them yourself, that's the point of this game
For some reason, on Mother's Day, every spool of filament on Amazon was completely gone. It's all those mother f________s out there, printing this game
So far as I can tell, this video is the only place that says what board tiles you need to print, and how to assemble them? It'd be nice to have it in print. I took a screenshot of that spot in the video, but that doesn't provide the names... Just what they look like.
Thanks for this game! I'm very much looking forward to printing and playing it!
You can't fool me this is the new gridfinity. Hexagon is the bestagon
Nah bro, CGP is cringe AF now
Improvement idea for a V2: add cones or pogo pins on electric tiles and use conductive filament with heat set brass inserts on the board you can simply make the top layer positive and the bottom negative.
Adding electricity you can then add LEDs, sound, electromagnets, acid spitting nozzles,...
That’s a cool idea!
@@Penofhell actual red hot metal ball by adding an induction tile.
Jokes aside my main idea for that is a simple bumper, you have a metal track, and a spring acting as an interruptor for a solenoid and capacitor, pulling the mushroom down and ejecting the ball fast.
Hextraction looks like it is Turing copmlete with basic tiles already.
Webneed a simulator wit sufficiently big board and it is possible to build generic computational device in it.
I wish my college had 3D printers for our game design degrees. The number of awesome board games that could be possible for assignments when you have actual tools instead of having to do a ton of handwaving with hand-made crafts would have been insane.
You can call it Hextraction all you want but it will always be HexZacktion.... I demand HexZacktion!!!!!!
Such a cool idea, it’s like mousetrap for mad geniuses. Can imagine Tesla and Einstein battling it out for bragging rights. Also, Zach with a fro was the best part of this video. #bringbackthefro
Powered board?
Cant wait for the electrocution tile
Once its in place it cant be moved or removed in anyway
Cause if you touch it you get a big zap :)
who else immediately rick rolled themself after scanning the qr code piece?
I'm afraid to scan after he said he didn't know. But I can appriaciate a good Roll
Y'all are really never gonna give him up, smdh
@@xp8969 lol 😆
how bout a funnel tile witch drops your ball to the abyss if it’s not going fast enough
I went to the trouble of pausing the video and checking the QR code on the tile at 9:40. I recommend you do it too! You won't be disappointed.
Tempted to call it a gravitrax ripoff to get a visit and then talk about 3d printing all day🤔
What's the cost of a new front door? Not much for having Zach visit your house.
Finally, good excuse to buy a 3D printer! This is brilliant, good job!
I recently made a LDJam 53 compo submission (Soul Weaver) that is very similar to this haha. I like this way better though
This looks quality, I sadly don't have a 3D printer, but I'd fully back a Kickstarter for a mass produced version of this 😱💸
I got a very interesting offer that might make this possible…
@ZackFreedman Oh nice, sounds intriguing, I'll definitely watch this space 😄
Wait if you cut a burrito in half does it create two bread bowls? He really thought he could get away with a shower thought
Every time the alliteration gets better, bravo good sir.
I know just the video to send to my dad to motivate him to fix our 3d printer!
seriously though this looks extremely cool and I really wanna play it
Glorious! Kind Sir. I look forward to printing and playing Hextraction
Holy heck, I have never been more tempted to try to learn 3d printing than I am now. My current experience consists of 30 minutes of frustration and nothing but spaghetti to show for it. I may need to seek out guidance. Or just send it off to some pros and be done with it.
Edit: I have now booked 2 hours with a printer at the library to see if I can pull off a tile or two (libraries are awesome, people). If all goes well, maybe I print a whole beginner set. It's gonna take time, but it might be fun.
Edit 2: Almost two weeks in, the steel balls have arrived in the mail, and I still have a load of stuff to print. Libraries letting you 3D print for free is cool and all, but there is certainly a capacity limit with this approach. I have some issues with the trap tiles not letting ball number 2 roll past, but I think that's fixable, either by printing layers thinner than 0.2mm (I'll try that this week) or with some minor whittling.
Man super duper cool QR code. Helped alot!
scaning that code was the best decision i made today, would recommend
As if getting your door knocked down by Zack is a punishment. I'd consider it an honour. So...uhm... Its a gravitrax knockoff!! :D
Only one obvious thing is missing from this. A small hexagonal tube with a screw-on cap for holding your balls. Naturally with "Hextraction" embossed on one of its sides.
I wish you had posted this last week! I would have spent that time printing this up, and we could have played it when all of my adult children came to visit today for Mother's Day!
So there's a thing called Turing Tumble where you make a mechanical computer that runs by marbles going down a track onto flip flops, and other bizarre bits helping you understand how computers work , Check it out. This is NOT a Turing tumble rip off at all. I'm just thinking that mixing this WITH Turing tumble could be fun....until we accidently make a marble powered AI
Can't wait to get this printed and added to our family game shelf!!!
2 things about that “open me” unfolding tile I’d like to say
1. Are you allowed to fold it up again/unfold it again after it’s been placed, and do you have to be the person who placed it to do that? I’ presume that if you can do this, you can only do it once per turn, only when placing tiles/not while rolling balls.
2. I wanted to try to come up with an interesting idea, and having seen that folding tile, I thought of this: a folding 2-segment tile where one of the segments will trap a ball inside the center, which, once a ball is trapped, will then be folded “closed”, making the ball exit the other tile. The folding closed/releasing of the ball could be written in the rules to only occur under certain conditions, like immediately once a ball is trapped, or maybe anybody can release it at any time during their rolling turn, or maybe another ball has to come along and prompt the release of the trapped ball, etc. You could try many ideas with it. You could maybe print the piece to make it orientable in any direction, only where the trap tile is below the release tile, or any other things. The release tile could be anything too, it could release in any direction you choose, it could be random. You probably couldn’t release it back into the trap tile, since you’d have to unfold the tile fast enough for that, but if you can, maybe with some sort of manual release mechanism in the release tile, you could maybe make a route through the trap tile where the ball can pass through without getting trapped again. Something else you could do is design the trap tile in a way that makes the chance of getting trapped random, or where only certain entrances trap a ball. Maybe when 1 ball is trapped, other balls can roll over it and right on through the trap scott free. Basically, there’s a lot of ways you could go with this trap and release folding tile idea. I’d imagine the way it works is that the release tile has there sorts of ceilings on the exits that the trap tile’s entrances can sorta slot into when folded, if you understand what I mean by that. There’d probably be a rule on the piece about not being able to fold it trap down, where the balls can get stuck with nowhere to release them. If I haven’t already said, the release tile would probably let balls through like a normal tile would.
I lost my direction with all of the ideas there, but in summary, a folding trap and release tile where you trap a ball and fold the trap tile onto the release tile to release the ball. You could try a lot of different things with this idea, as I, eh, “explained”.
As expected: Creative, crazy and lots of word wonking caboodle. Love this channel!
I havent seen a sandbox board game before… This is so interesting…
Edit: So I just downloaded the file for the basic tiles and I am annoyed that I cant load it in Blender.
Edit 2: IT WORKED YEESSSSSS
Sag Mal Klettergerüst
hihi
ein Teich, ein Laich, ein Kommentarbereich
LOL...I had to put my camera up to that QR code tile....sigh...."Never Gonna Give You Up" well played sir
Unreal, your passion about your projects is just unimaginable 😊
I can't get the 5-15 one to print correctly on my 3d printer (prusa mk3+) any way to help with printing it?
I am getting warping on the left side even though everything else has been perfect. It's just this file. Still trouble shooting.
@@ZobRombie13 oh okay thanks I got it to work
this is incredibly creative, if it were an online game i can guarantee that it'd blow up insanely fast
Cursed starter kit: Only Plinko tiles. (Yes that was me at RMRRF)
This channel never disappoints. I just wish I could roll prose like Zack.
So for someone who's interested in printing something like this (it's this), but who hasn't used a 3d printer before, what printers are on the recommendation list for less than $500CAD?
;-; i scanned the qr code and i was amazed at what i saw, a new hextraction expansion question mark? you should look it up
This might actually be Turing complete...
The extremely developed niche community that's also somehow fully hidden
God every fucking video is a masterpiece and Zack is becoming a fast talking auction monster with the patron reads. 10/10 would watch again
oh my god it's one of the first board games that has """official modding support"""
like sure you could always use third party cards in monopoly or something but it's not like it was designed to be able to include that
0:20 | You probably get this a-lot, so please understand that I'm really not trying to offend, but why are you wearing a Dragon Ball power meter?
9:44 I'm not checking, but that is 100% a Rick roll.
Can confirm. I just couldn't resist following the link after I just couldn't resist scanning the QR code.
I wonder if QR codes are a legit attack vector for phishing... You just HAVE to know what's hidden behind those squares...
I sent a link to this video to my local library, in San Angelo, TX. They have a free makerspace with 3-D printers (you just pay for your filament).
Okay cool. No statics effects, what about my rhystic piece? Why I am not allowed to make my opponents pay the 1 to make me draw pieces :(
And now I want this game to be competitive game on PC, phones and consoles
It must be so cool
You should make this 4D like 4D chess on star trek.
I need to find single nerds in my area to play this. I could spend hours on this.
I'll have a booth at open sauce, so can't wait to try this!
Headed into the video doubtful. Saw the single eye visor/cyborg monocle thing and my doubts melted away.
This instantly reminded me of gravitrax, which has hexagonal pieces and some of the pieces look a lot like gravitrax pieces
Need a hidden embedded magnet tile, also one that attempts to swirl the ball bearing to randomize an output between two lol
Ya know, I knew what the QR code was going to be but my lizard brain wouldn't allow me not to scan it.
okay, real questions though. Is Hextraction Turing complete?
lol Zack doesn't bat an eye at most of these names, but "Crossthreading is just free loctite" gets a reaction.
this looks awsome. can i suggest u keep working on this for new tiles for future vids. allso this is jsut for the alg
#hextraction #thisisawsome #skyrim #other lol
3d printing + modular = fun. There's a certain element of collectability and sharability that could make this very popular.
I clicked the link multiple times, you can thank me later
okay but someone should still make a drinking/spicy game out of this :D
This is so amazing and really triggered me to finally rethink the purchase of a 3D printer :) Was really close before, just from watching your channel ... No way around it anymore ;) Cheers
I dunno, having one of your tiles get smashed with a hammer if it gets touched too many times sounds like some fun stakes
Hey Zack, I heard you got your chromance hooked up to wled. Mind sharing how u did it? I really like the design of chromance and the flexibiltiy of wled so I would extremely grateful if you could share how you did it. :)
This feels like a yugioh game from after the games were all improvised but before duel monsters took over
you should make a tile called the net tile that is similar to the teleporter tile because it connects with a second tile but one til;e called the net has a detachable trap that stops all balls that enter it and the other tile is a simple tile that when passed through allows the player to move the net tile and release all the balls trapped in it
Holy balls, the qr code tile gives free steam keys for anyone who scans it!
Looks like fun... unique game idea. Been printing it out the last two days along with all of the tiles that are good for children. Hopefully my kids and I get a bit of fun out of it.
For you JoJo guys out there this is the first Steel Ball Run tabletop game
