Description

Game Rules

Preparation and Objective

The game is set up so that pieces fill every hole except the middle hole.

The objective is to remove every piece except one, with the final piece ending up in the centre hole. Solitaire is played by one person and is therefore technically not a game at all, but a puzzle.

Basic Play

The player makes successive capturing moves, removing a single piece each turn until is it impossible to make any more capturing moves.

Each turn, the player captures a piece by jumping over that piece orthogonally (not diagonally) from one adjacent point to the vacant adjacent point on the other side.

Therefore, the first turn can be made only by jumping a piece into the middle hole from one of 4 possible points.

Magnetic Peg Solitaire

This version of Peg Solitaire is played by traditional rules. The design is minimalistic with modern touches. The game is easy to print and printable in almost any printer bed size, from an Original Prusa Mini to a CR10 (or even bigger).

The board, pawns, and the cover use neodymium magnets for a safe and precise fixation that allows playing even on a moving car, or simply while lying in bed at home, nevertheless, the magnets are not indispensable for playing on a steady table.

There are two (2) models provided, the first one (Model A), is a set of two (2) color pieces designed to be printed not only in an Original Prusa i3 MK3S & MK3S+ MMU2S but also in almost any printer applying the Z HOP command technique in the Slicer software. The second design (Model B) is a simplified version of the previous one, which uses simple and independent printed parts. In any case, it isn’t needed to use supports for printing or tools for assembling (actually, the only printed tool needed is provided within the components of this publication, it is suitable for both models and must be used to give the appropriate polarity to every magnet). Components must be printed at 0,2 mm layer height and 15-20% infill

Required Components

Printed pieces (check each model).
97 Neodymium magnets N30, D5xH3 mm (+ 12 optional magnets for cover).
Cyanoacrylate (super glue).

Warning 1: every file (STL, 3MF, and G-CODE), has a seat for magnets with a 0,2 mm tolerance, suitable for most printers (allowing some precision deviants to be absorbed). In addition to that, the parametrized editable files are included for making any required adjustment, like employing a different sized cylindrical neodymium magnet.

Printing Model A

Print file Solitaire_Grid-A (filament color 1).
Over the previous component, print the file Solitaire_Board-A using the Z HOP command with Z=0,8 mm height (filament color 2). The skirt and purge line must be removed before starting the print.
Remove the previous component and print the file Solitaire_Cover_Text-A (optional).
Over the previous piece, print the file Solitaire_Cover-A (optional) using the Z HOP command with Z=0,8 mm height. The skirt and purge line must be removed before starting the print (filament color 2).
Print all 32 pawns (file Pawns-U) using filament color 1.
Print the tool (file Tool-U for magnet placing) using filament color 1.

Warning 2: in case of having an Original Prusa i3 MK3S & MK3S + MMU2S, print only the G-CODE files attached.

Printing Model B

Print the file Solitaire_Grid-B (filament color 1).
Print the file Solitaire_Board-B (filament color 2).
Print the file Solitaire_Cover-B (optional) using filament color 2.
Print all 32 pawns (file Pawns-U) using filament color 1.
Print the tool (file Tool-U for magnet placing) using filament color 1.

Warning 3: two different filament colors (one light and the other dark) are suggested to get a good contrast between the pieces, nevertheless, you can choose any color combinations you like.

Warning 4: if you have a textured bed, you can achieve a beautiful finish on the board and cover surface. However, this is not mandatory because a well-made bed leveling is more than enough to have excellent results.
