Tile-to-Miniature Base Cutting Die (STL)

Tool and die set that I designed to digitally create my own custom basing from any existing terrain tile sets. Access to and basic knowledge of 3D Builder or similar software would prove advantageous.

“Quick and Dirty” tools to extract and produce round two-tiered bases sized for use with a variety of games using whatever digital 3D tile sets you might have in your collection. These are STL files that can be printed, but would be of little use in the physical realm unless you want to squish Plasticine or something?

Stamps for the following outer and inner cut sizes:

35/32mm

50/47mm

65/62mm

These cutter/tool dies should work for you if re-scale for smaller or larger bases. 25mm MDF basing shown for comparison.

How to use in 3D Builder:

Import tile

Split horizontally keeping top texture of tile and discarding bottom clips

Drop remaining tile to surface and center where you please

Insert>Add>Master Base Cutout at desired size

Move Master Base Cutout to x/y location on tile and drop it through the Z to fully cut through tile

Keep cutout selected, tile deselected, and subtract

Select the outer tile and delete, what's left is your base - Center the base at x=0 and y=0

Insert>Add>correspondingly sized Topper Base cutout - Center the cutout at x=0 and y=0 also

Raise the topper cutout half way up the base (a few mm - depending on the thickness of your base)

Keep cutout selected, base deselected, and subtract

Voila, custom base, repeat Ad Nauseum!
