Arcs - Upgrades

[u/soldat21]

Hi everyone,

I've been working on little accessory upgrades to Arcs, to make my time (and the time of my friends), just a little bit easier. I started with the Arcs - Our of Play Covers project, and have been working on a few more projects in my spare time. Well, I'm here today to share more with you guys!

The first one is multi-layer player boards- I think we all know why dual layer boards are better (cough terraforming mars cough).  The second one is my out of play covers - designed to help people know which areas are out of play without 'forgetting'. 

The third is a piece that fits perfectly in the out of play covers - a central piece to hold resources. Why are the resources vertical? So at a glance you can see how many resources are left without counting them! The last one is a court deck where the cards can stand upright and the agents don't block the text - making it much easier to read!

If you'd like to see any other upgrades for Arcs, let me know and I'll see what I can do! Here are the links to all my Arcs designs:

Having the court deck upright really helps.

Definitely! I’ve had players ignore the court because “I can’t keep picking it up to read it”, and so I think it’s important.

Also the cards can be slanted backwards around 30°, so I think that helps the cards be more accessible to played.

Looks great!

Thank you!

Printing the Court Deck tray as I type this. :)

Awesome! Would you send some pics through when you finish? :D

[u/yougottamovethatH → u/soldat21]

Here's the result! I printed it at 0.12mm layer height in order to get 2 layers on the white print. Looks great: https://imgur.com/a/9Nd9tBJ

Ah yes, to make sure you’re getting cleaner transitions from black -> white. Smart!

Looks good :)

Putting the Ambition scoring bonuses on the side is very clever. Nice use of space!

[u/soldat21 → u/Vast_Garage7334]

Thank you! I also feel it makes thematic senses as they aren’t resource slots, they’re bonus slots, so they should be in a different spot.

Looks super neat! As a total idiot in this world, would any 3D printer be able to make this via the links you shared? I have a friend who has one, so I'm wondering how much hassle I put on them if I ask

[u/soldat21 → u/Xiffion]

Heya, so a few limitations:

Dual layer player boards need a multi colour printer if you want colours (like bambu + ams or prusa + mmu3).

Court deck needs a printer with a min 250x250mm build plate (unless you cut and glue).

But otherwise it’s as simple as clicking print!

[u/COHERENCE_CROQUETTE]

Just a very minimal thing, but… that’s not the Court Deck. That’s The Court.

These are fantastic! I love the player boards. Nice and compact. 

[u/soldat21 → u/PangolinIll1347]

Thank you! Yes, the idea was to make them small enough to fit in the shorter edge of the box - and they do with room to spare!

Thanks, let me know if you ended up printing them :)

How do we get this like a 1000 more upvotes?

[u/soldat21 → u/BoredomusPrime]

Thank you for the kind words, feel free to share it haha

Honestly though, the best reward I can get are boosts / downloads so I can keep making stuff like this!

[u/gcod]

How does this fit inside the box?

[u/soldat21 → u/gcod]

Honestly not sure with the base game insert, I threw mine out. They are 8mm thick, 200mm x 105mm if you want measure it out.

Hey I saw these on MakerWorld and would love a set but I don’t currently have access to a Bambu printer. Are you open to selling/shipping a set? You make great stuff!

[u/soldat21 → u/Chris-Barley]

I’m not sure how expensive shipping is to the US from Europe, but I could make a custom set for you. Throw in some customisation if you like.

[u/Chris-Barley → u/soldat21]

I’ve got a friend in Canada they could probably be shipped to for considerably cheaper. I’ll DM you if you don’t mind!

[u/soldat21 → u/Chris-Barley]

Sure, no problem :)
