This is a set of 3d printable bases and pegs for supporting ships for the game A Billion Suns. This set of pegs is compatible with all my ABS fleets that I've designed and published, but can be used in any fleet with a 3mm hole in the bottom. A file to use as a boolean to create your own peg hole in a 3d model is included.
The pegs are 3mm square and come in a variety of lengths to allow for different ships to be mounted at different heights. This allows for a more dynamic looking fleet, and can help ships fit closer together when needed. I deliberaly chose a square profile to help ships stay oriented facing front.
The pegs with the angled tops are for fitting multiple small craft on the 3 hole bases to form a small wing of ships, fighters for example, in a more dynamic pose. I've also included some peg toppers that can serve a similar purpose, with a 3mm hole in the base to mount on top of a peg.
Since 3d printers can vary a bit in final dimensions, especially FDM printers, I've also included a set of slightly undersized pegs at 2.8mm.
The bases include a 180 marker (the sun/star shape) and a V groove for the firing arc. There is a small notch at four points, with an extra marker for the front to make it clear which way the ship is pointing. Some of the larger bases come with 3 holes in a line, to help support the larger ships that use these bases. I also included single hole versions as well in case your ship design doesn't need 3 holes.
Notes: I added some pegs with flat tops to glue to the bottom of ships without existing holes.
