<div><h3>Cave Mega Pack - revised and enhanced (OpenForge 2.0 compatible)</h3>
<p>The Cave Mega Pack (<a rel="nofollow" href="/thing:4605694">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4605694</a>) by John Scott is great!<br>
However, it has some issues: Most of the remixes have errors (holes, non-manifold) and they do not always adhere to the correct inch based sizes which are necessary to combine the parts with other OpenForge sets - especially the height if you plan to have multi-level sceneries.</p>
<p>So, finally I found some time to revise these nice tiles and correct the main issues:</p>
<ul><li>remeshed all tiles to solid manifold objects without holes</li>
<li>cut 0.5mm from the bottom to make the floors fit more nicely with other OpenForge tiles (Dungeon Stone, Rough Stone, ...)</li>
<li>x/y width and length corrected to inch multiples</li>
<li>z height of walls corrected to 44.8 mm which gives a two inch height on a 6 mm OpenForge base</li>
<li>added two new tiles: 1x1 T-wall and 1x1 X-wall</li>
<li>renamed the files to be more consistent</li>
<li>added low poly versions which can be used in 3D modelling tools (like Tinkercad) to plan your sceneries</li>
</ul><p>Please contact me in case you still found issues.<br>
Happy printing!</p>
<h3>Instructions and Hints</h3>
<p>Use these tiles in combination with Devon Jones OpenForge bases (<a rel="nofollow" href="/thing:2740279">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2740279</a>) or my OpenFLex separate base system (<a rel="nofollow" href="/thing:4616663">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4616663</a>).</p>

Simple Bridges for use with RPG gaming terrain

These are a variety of bridges that work on top of  gaming terrain (3D printed or premade stuff like Dwarven Forge). Useful for when you need a flat bridge, or a surface to set other terrain tiles on top off, or for use with my mine cart tracks I've put here on Thingiverse.

You can stretch them out wider if your printer can handle it.

Note that when I list one as "simple 4in x 1in" - that's the size opening it should fit over. The actual bridge is 115.3 mm long (so about 4.54 inches), giving a little space on either side to rest on the terrain tiles.
