Description

This is a 3D tile-set for the board game Betrayal at House on the Hill. It’s an absolutely fantastic game that I’ve had a lot of fun playing over the years so I decided to make 3D versions of the room tiles for fun. My inspiration for this project was this settlers of Catan project. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1238980). I recently printed a Catan set and thought that it would be a good challenge to make a Betrayal set. I created the basic design of each of the general layouts for the rooms in Fusion 360 and then imported them into Tinkercad where I merged them with other 3D models I found from others. I appreciate the great designs I found from the community; I think I’ve listed all of the models that were used/remixed but if you see your model in here and I haven’t properly cited its use, let me know.

This is a pretty time intensive printing project so be prepared if you choose to print a set!

Printing

47 Base tiles
1x of each room tile

Assembling

Each base tile has four slots where magnets can be inserted. These are based of off the hexagon magnetic tiles used in the this Settlers of Catan model. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2525047 There is a solid tutorial and great links there about what type of magnets you can use in the base tiles. Each room should fit snugly in each base piece. You will need a total of 4 * 47 = 188 magnets (3mm x 6mm). Once the magnets are placed, use an adhesive to adhere the room tiles to the bases.

Painting

So probably the most difficult part of this project (for me at least…) was painting everything. I’d suggest looking up tutorials on dry-brushing if you’re not too familiar with model painting. I’m sure if you look closely at the models you’ll find painting mistakes but hey its a dilapidated old house so hopefully it contributes to the theme. =)
