Emergency Connect4 Kit Card

Quick Fun, Anywhere!

Have you ever been out with the kids, just dying for some fun? Dentist waiting room, restaurant, long car ride?

Well here's an idea! Say hello to Emergency Connect4. Consisting of 5 cards the size of a credit card, you have a ready to assemble game of Connect4.

This print file contains 3 different cards/sprues.

• Sprue A
  • This contains one half of the main game board and one of the side supports. You'll need (2) of this card.

• Sprue B
  • This contains the base for the gameboard and also the legs for the game to stand on. You'll need (1) of this card.

• Sprue C
  • This contains 20 chips to be used for the game. You'll need (2) of this card, each in a different color.

Assembly Instructions:

• NOTE: I recommend pushing the pieces out of the sprue from the back side (less likely to damage the bottom edge), or using side cutters for reduced cleanup.

1. Once all pieces are removed from the sprue, insert the side supports (2) for the main game board into the base (3).
2. Insert the main game board (1) into the base (3). (I found this can be a tad easier if I put the pieces together to form the entire board, then push them into the base together.)
3. Press the legs (4) onto the base (3).
4. Pop out the chips (5).
5. Play!

Disclaimer

I've attempted to thoroughly test the clearances and the sprue attachment points, I've successfully printed this several times in it's current iteration (while it's only my 3rd major revision, I've gone through about 11 iterations to this point). I've found a balance of easy removal from the sprue and ease of assembly that I'm really happy with. If you find any issues, please let me know so I can address them! For reference, I primarily use PLA Matte materials, so YMMV with others.
