Assault series

This project is a collection of modular pieces for storing your Assault series terrain when not in use. The pieces snap together, forming a semi-rigid and stackable structure. You will need to mount it to a flat surface and can optionally also attach it to the walls of a holding box.

Note that the project is not affiliated with Saucermen Studios, makes no claim to their intellectual properly and does not include any of their models. If you're interested in those models, see Assault series over on their site.

Design notes

The holders in the Assault series storage has a slightly looser fit than the Prison mines series storage. This is necessary since the pieces are supposed to be pushed together and then stay attached by means of friction, rather than by a connector profile.

Printing recommendations

• Layer height: 0.2mm (important!)
• Perimeter/Wall/Wall loops: 2
• Infill: 10%
• Top layers: 7
• Bottom layers: 2
• Nozzle: 0.4mm (other sizes may work but are untested)
• Supports: Not necessary
• Brim: Slicer defaults

Most pieces will print without a brim. Pieces that are particularly tall and thin (100 mm or taller) or have a very small contact surface with the plate may require one. Prusa Slicer and derivates such as Bambu Slicer or Orca Slicer seem to provide good auto settings for this. All pieces are pre-oriented for printing in the optimal direction.

Please allow the pieces time to cool to room temperature before assembly; some of the tolerances are tight enough that heat expansion is a factor. Glue is not required.

Part reference

Posts

Wall posts

A pair of these will hold one or more wall sections

Junction posts

A pair of these will hold one junction; two if combined with a Paddle post.

Paddle posts

Connects two junction posts like a regular paddle would, but sports an additional double sided post in the middle.

Double sided wall posts

Connects walls on both sides

Double sided junction posts

Connects junctions on both sides

Paddles

Paddle posts

Connects two junction posts like a regular paddle would, but sports an additional double sided post in the middle.

Paddle connector with screw holes

Will connect wall or corner posts together. Has holes for M2 sized recessed screws

Spans

End spans

Used to provide some rigidity to a row of posts. The scew plate versions can be screwed to a wall and fits M2 recessed screws.

Mid spans

Combined span piece and bar piece.
