**3D-printed Abalone game set**

An Abalone game set was created, consisting of a game board and the corresponding black and white balls, which were adapted to a Creality K1C 3D printer.

**Game board:**

The design of the game board comes from Thingiverse:

[thingiverse.com - Abalone Board](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1207252)

The design has been modified to be compatible with the specifications of the K1C printer.

**Balls:**

The balls are based on a design by ElNikler from the Creality Cloud:

[Creality Cloud - Balls by ElNikler](https://www.crealitycloud.com/model-detail/629e5e5758fa2378aa1453e8)

They were scaled to fit optimally on the game board, and printed in black and white from PLA with 100% infill.

**Abalone - Background and Game Instructions:**

Abalone is a strategic board game for two players, developed in 1987 by Michel Lalet and Laurent Lévi. The aim of the game is to knock six of the opponent's balls off the hexagonal game board.

**Game instructions:**

1. **Lineup:**

Every player places 14 balls on the first two rows of their side of the playing field.

2. **Trains:**

One, two, or three balls can be moved simultaneously in one of the six possible directions. The movement can be in a straight line or sideways.

3. **Pushing:**

An opponent's ball can be pushed if there is an excess of one's own balls. For example, two balls can push a single opponent's ball, while three balls can push two.

4. **Game objective:**

The winner is the first to knock six opponent's balls off the playing field.

More information and complete rules can be found on the official Abalone website or in game guides.

This project demonstrates how 3D printing can be used to create customized and functional playsets, which require both design and technical skills.

**3D-Printed Abalone Game Set**

A custom Abalone game set has been created, consisting of a game board and the corresponding black and white marbles, adapted for a Creality K1C 3D printer.

**Game Board:**

The board design was sourced from Thingiverse:

The design was modified to be compatible with the specifications of the K1C printer.

**Marbles:**

The marbles are based on a design by ElNikler from Creality Cloud:

[Creality Cloud - Marbles by ElNikler](https://www.crealitycloud.com/model-detail/629e5e5758fa2378aa1453e8)

They were scaled to fit perfectly on the board and printed in black and white PLA with 100% infill.

**Abalone - Background and Game Instructions:**

Abalone is a strategic board game for two players, developed in 1987 by Michel Lalet and Laurent Lévi. The objective of the game is to push six of the opponent's marbles off the hexagonal board.

**Game Instructions:**

1. **Setup:**

Each player places 14 marbles on the first two rows on their side of the board.

2. **Moves:**

One, two, or three marbles can be moved at a time in any of the six possible directions. The movement can be either in-line or side-step.

3. **Pushing:**

An opponent's marble can be pushed if the player has numerical superiority. For example, two marbles can push one opponent's marble, while three marbles can push two.

4. **Winning Condition:**

The game is won by the first player to push six of the opponent's marbles off the board.
