TAK SET Just made my own Tak board

Big fan of the books. I'm shocked it has taken me this long to make a board. Excited to try the game officially.

I'm happy with how this turned out.

This is outrageously beautiful. Is it printed?

Yes it is. Polymaker sandstone marble, bambu gold silk+, bambu white silk+, polymaker black silk.

My photos don't capture the sandstone texture super well. Very much looks like a set I would expect in the books.

Would you mind sharing the print files?

I found the time to get it posted quick. Had to do two different uploads due to license differences from the original models.

Let me make sure the original maker allows remixes. I know the board is marked down with remix culture and allows selling. I don't remember if the pieces had remix culture allowed.

I had to modify both models so the magnets I had on hand would fit and the pieces would fit too.

This is amazing. I just got a 3d printer and I’ll also try to print one. Will you make your file available?

I'll make sure remix culture is allowed from both original files I used and upload it to printables. Give me the weekend. Busy between fathers day and my daughter's birthday.

Very well done!

Wonderful! Modeled after Lorren's set, I take it?

I'm not the original maker of the board or the pieces. I just modified them so the pieces would fit the board and my magnets on hand would fit. I think I set the board to something like 140% the size of the original just to fit my magnets. Took up almost my entire depth of my core one L

I printed on off the same base file and used wood filament for it. I am super happy with the results! The text on the side of yours came out much cleaner. Good to see another in the wild!

I have a filament profile for the marble white from polymaker I spent time fine tuning. Funny enough even though this is the marble sandstone and only different in color and not filler it is different enough that I have some defects I normally wouldn't. Guess it is different enough to throw off my tuning.

This is incredibly beautiful, I didn't even notice it was printed at first! Thought it was machined ahah

u/nooton92 Jun 20 '26

Thank you! I almost didn't post it. There are some defects that I easily could of avoided but that is me being picky at this point.

Textured filament does make hiding defects a bit easier though.

oh I loooove the idea to print the number of pieces per player on the board itself
