In this tutorial I will provide you with all the knowledge and artwork to 3D print Settlers of Catan on a 3D printer!!! I will cover how to print out 3D Blender models on a 3D printer. I’ll also cover how to import vector art from programs like Illustrator and Inkscape into Blender.
You can get Inkscape and Cura here. Here are all of the SVG files that I created for the game. Here is a link to my 3D Printer Review as well as some painting tips.
