# Zectonium Prison Mines

Download

This project is a collection of modular pieces for storing your Zectonium Prison Mines 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 Zectonium Prison Mines over on their site.

### Assembly instructions

Paddle
Posts
Snapping paddle in place

Paddles and posts hold Wall and Corner pieces. Paddles snap in place by pushing them into the corresponding hole in the post piece from above at an angle. If you printed the post pieces with brims, make sure to trim them carefully. Each pair of posts require one paddle.

Bars
Spans

Bar and span pieces connect posts to each other and provide stability. Adjust the bar lengths to the size of your pieces; some of the wider pieces, such as stairs, will require 40mm bars. For tthin walls, 6mm will suffice. What makes sense for you depends on what terrain pieces you printed, whether you want your storage to be as tight as possible or offer a bit of additional space for your fingers.

Span pieces provide stability in the same direction as the paddles; they're typically handy at the end of a row of posts, or occasionally in the middle of a row if it feels particularly wobbly.

Connecting two posts with bars or spans require two pieces for standard height (60 mm) posts or three for double height (120 mm) ones.

Slot holder
Stack holders

Flat pieces such as roofs, insets or walkways can be stored either vertically in a Slot holders or horizontally in Stack holders. Much like posts, these are connected by paddles.

### 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.

### Posts

#### Regular wall posts

A single wall connector per post

Single height wall post
Fits one 60mm tall wall section or 2 30mm ones stacked

▼ post_H60.stl

Double height wall post
Fits two 60mm tall wall sections or 4 30mm ones stacked

▼ post_H120.stl

#### Double sided wall posts

Has a wall connector on both the front and rear faces

Single height double wall post
Fits one 60mm tall wall section or 2 30mm ones per face

▼ double_post_H60.stl

Double height double wall post
Fits two 60mm tall wall sections or 4 30mm ones stacked per face

▼ double_post_H120.stl

#### Regular corner posts

These hold the corner pieces. As they won't be fixated by the corner pieces in the same way that wall posts are by walls, consider using mid spans if you find that your posts are leaning inwards.

Single height corner post
Fits one 60mm high corner sections or two 30mm ones stacked

▼ corner_holder_H60.stl

Double height corner post
Fits two 60mm high corner sections or four 30mm ones stacked

▼ corner_holder_H120.stl

#### Double sided corner posts

Has a corner connector on both the front and rear faces.

Single height double corner post
Fits one 60mm high corner sections or two 30mm ones stacked per side

▼ double_corner_holder_H60.stl

Double height double corner post
Fits two 60mm high corner sections or four 30mm ones stacked per side

▼ double_corner_holder_H120.stl

### Paddles

#### Paddle connector with screw holes

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

For 160mm wide walls
Wall type A - the wider ones

▼ paddle_L175.6_m2.stl

For 60mm wide walls or larger corners
Wall type B. Will also fit corners 4, 5, 6 & 8

▼ paddle_L75.6_m2.stl

For two smaller facing corners
Fits the smaller corners

▼ paddle_L60.6_m2.stl

#### Paddle connector without screw holes

Will connect wall or corner posts together. No screw holes; useful if you plan on glueing or just want a faster print.

For 160mm wide walls
Wall type A - the wider ones

▼ paddle_L175.6.stl

For 60mm wide walls or larger corners
Wall type B. Will also fit corners 4, 5, 6 & 8

▼ paddle_L75.6.stl

For two smaller facing corners
Fits the smaller corners

▼ paddle_L60.6.stl

### Bars

#### Straight bars

Will connect posts together in rows. You will probably try a few different sizes of these to see what works out the best for you.

6 mm
Smallest possible bar for connecting two posts

▼ bar_L6.stl

10 mm
Tight fit for walls without large protrusions

▼ bar_L10.stl

20 mm
Comfortable fit for walls with semi-large protrusions

▼ bar_L20.stl

40 mm
Stairs and overhang wall pieces, as well as major protrusions (cisterns, similar)

▼ bar_L40.stl

### 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.

▼ span_end_W75.4_m2.stl

45mm wide distance, for corner posts

▼ span_end_W60.4.stl

#### Mid spans

Combined span piece and bar piece. Useful if you have a longer row of posts. Particularly useful for rows of corner posts, as these get very little stability across compared to rows of wall posts.

### Stack holders

Hold stacks of roof pieces, insets or other flat pieces lying down horizontally. A single stack requires four corners and a cross paddle; use T or X pieces to expand into multiple adjacent stacks.
