Cave Set - Dungeon-X By Lord Zsezse Works

A truly cost-effective, print-yourself dungeon that is spectacular but doesn't require any additional painting work and you can set it up in no time!

How it works:

- Inkjet print the walls
Print out the wall pieces and cut them out easily along straight lines, then fold them in half.

- 3D print the columns
Print out as many as you need (You'll find half-tall columns for the half-tall walls, too)

- Assemble them
Push the walls into the columns.

That's all, enjoy your Cave system!

And reuse the parts, building different layouts every time!

The columns are 3D-printable and they look nice even without painting (not a single one was painted in the photos), the walls and columns were designed by the graphic artists of Lord Zsezse Works and Black Scrolls Games for the best result.

Content:

You'll find an "Information and Cave Walls" PDF, featuring five different wall styles such as plain, dripstone, mushrooms, crystal and vines.

There will be some cut-out doors at the end of this PDF file if you want to change them.

Base Maps
This section provides floor plans for your cave system in various styles for smaller rooms or larger areas.

Half-tall walls 
They are designed to make your game more playable by keeping miniatures and players visible. You can mix these with the 2” tall walls to add doors or create backdrops with those taller walls. We’ve also included 1-inch tall 3D printable columns in the folder.

Paper columns 
If you prefer paper walls over 3D printed ones, this PDF is for you. They might not be as strong as 3D printed columns, but they’ll still look great on your table. Also, more crafting and gluing are required. 

3D printable columns
Additionally, you'll find the 3D printable columns with three thickness options for paper walls, as seen in the free set.
We recommend printing a standard version for a test, then adjusting the fit as needed.

Downsides
We are not trying to trick you, the modularity and the fast-placable structure have some downsides.

No levels: Sorry guys, this design will not let you stack levels on each other, simply nothing can hold the paper base from below. 3D printable raised levels, building it on a box, or a thick cardboard base could do that; however, it is your turn to craft something you need, our goal was only to make a system you don't have to spend days with before using.

Large areas can be wobbly: While smaller structures are quite sturdy, larger areas can slightly move on the map, depending on the papers and how many walls you use to support the structure. You'll find an example on Kickstarter.

Preparing time: Printing the universal columns takes ~20 minutes each, and 12 custom columns will last 8-9 hours on an Ender 3 machine with our settings. You will need around 40-60 columns for a larger structure and the time of printing can be a downside. Same thing with the preparation of paper walls. While we added cutting marks to help you cut out the walls and it contains mostly straight lines, it still takes some time. However, you have to do these only once and the time you spent with it will surely pay off! :)
