IMPORTANT : To print "pawn.stl", plan a pause in the printing process when about 8 mm remain before reaching the top of the piece. This pause will allow you to change color to recreate the appearance of the pawn, as shown in the images. If your slicing software allows, program this pause directly, using the value indicated, for a precise result without manual intervention.

Optional decoration :
To further embellish your tray, I've included a “Tac-Tik” paint stencil designed for use with spray paint. Its file name is "Tac-Tik_paint_stencil.stl". Apply it directly to the tray for a personalized, professional result.
If you have any questions about the game rules or 3D files, please don't hesitate to ask! I'll be happy to help. Happy printing and have fun!

Tip: For a smoother finish on the top of the game board, I recommend activating in your slicing software the "Ironing" function (for Cura in the Top/Bottom section) on the parts of the game board. Test this function beforehand to determine the right settings for your printer.
