Hyperspace tile shell

A snap-together shell for Hyperspace's elongated hex tiles: holds each tile flat and interlocks with its neighbours.

Made with the Hexagon shell tool. Open it in the editor to adjust any size.

  • Tile shape: short edges 68.6 mm; corners 142.6° at the points, 108.7° elsewhere
  • Grid spacing: 134.9 mm to the neighbours above and below, 189.7 mm to the diagonal ones
  • Elongated shells fit together one way round only: keep every notch facing the same way
  • Footprint: 199.9 mm × 135.7 mm, height 4.0 mm
  • Pocket: 130.6 mm for a 130.0 mm tile
  • Snap interference: 0.25 mm per side
  • Interlock: each face leans 0.54 mm; a tile lifts 0.75 mm before it catches
  • Feet reach 0.87 mm under the neighbours: lay the grid in a sweep, and take it apart the same way
