Assembling Magnetic Hexes With the Hex Assembler
Added 2023-03-18 14:59:00 +0000 UTCHi all,
The Hex Assembler is ready to go!
This device helps add magnets to the hexes and press the two halves together. While its possible to add the magnets without it, the Hex Assembler makes the process easier and requires less dexterity.
There is a version for both the 1-inch and 1.5-inch hexes. Note: the Hex Assembler is only compatible with Singularity Hexes (with the corner cutouts), not the traditional hexes.
Check out the video at the top to see it in action.
The files for the Hex Assembler can be found in the Singularity Games Patron Drive -> Singularity Boards -> Magnetic Hex Board -> Hex Assembler folder.
In the folder you will find three files for the 1.5 inch assembler and three files for the 1 inch hex assembler as shown below:
