Terraforming Mars City Tiles

These 3D tiles are designed to replace the City cardboard tiles in the popular board game Terraforming Mars.

For maximum detail, I suggest printing with a 0.25 mm nozzle at 0.1 mm layer height. If you are experiencing stringing, especially on the tiny satellite dishes, printing multiple tiles at the same time may improve your result.

In case you don't have a small nozzle or want to save time, printing with the standard 0.4 mm nozzle is also possible. I successfully printed the tiles at 0.1 mm and even at 0.2 mm layer height with that nozzle.

As an option, you can do a color change between the tiles' bases and the structures on top to achieve a more realistic look. For example a reddish brown for the bases and grey for the structures.
