Vault Assault is an exhilarating 3D printed board game where players embody daring vault crackers on a high-stakes mission to break into a vault and seize its golden riches. With up to four players, aged 8 and above, this game combines strategy, cunning, and a touch of sabotage as participants place gears strategically on the board to connect to the vault and release the coins inside. The thrill intensifies as players navigate challenges, aiming to outmaneuver opponents and avoid triggering the alarm that could end the heist abruptly.
Vault Assault challenges players to think ahead, adapt their strategies, and skillfully manage their gears to outsmart their rivals and become the wealthiest vault cracker.
Building this project is a great oppurtinity to learn a bit about gear mechanisms and improve your understanding of how gears can work with each other to achieve more complex goals. So making this game is not only fun, but a learning experience! Now to get started with what you are going to need:
The entirity of these parts, can be found exclusively on Maker World. I have pre-crafted two different print profiles there with the correct settings, orientation, colours and layout. One profile is the multi coloured version (as shown in the images in this Instructable) but that will require at 3D printer which can print with at least 2 filaments. The other profile is designed to be a quicker print and will work with any 3D printer with a build plate at least 20cm x 20cm. As well as the crafted print profile I have also included the raw STEP and STL files for all the parts should you need/want to make any alterations!
