Giant Crib Board

This crib board is about double the size of a conventional crib board and designed for ease of use having larger pegs and tapered peg holes. I thought it would be nice to have a bigger board with bigger pegs to play on when space permits.

I already have a lot of regular-sized boards so I really did not have too much interest in just making another board. But making a bigger board also meant I could print larger more durable pegs. But I should warn you, this was about 100 hours of printing.

The base of the crib board is designed in two parts that permanently snap together. They will fit onto a 300mm print surface. Then the tracks are inserted afterwards to create a very rigid final board. It is easier to understand when you see the images below that show the print arrangements.

Once printed, all the parts snap together and I did not intend for it to ever be disassmbled.

Where to Get My STL Files

Thangs.com

I am now posting all of my new designs on Thangs.com and plan to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Some of my older designs may not have been migrated over yet so if they are not available on Thangs.com please check on Thingiverse.

Use, Licensing, Comments and Feedback

My primary distribution site for my design files is Thangs.com. Thangs.com is, in my opinion, leading the way in promoting designers and competition amongst designers which in turn fuels the growth of high-quality 3d printable designs for the benefit of our entire community. However, as a result, some of my designs are only available for free for 1 week from when first posted, so please download them when you see a new file available that you are interested in. Also, please like and save to help me with the competitions.

I do not permit the use of my designs for commercial purposes (i.e. you can not sell my design(s) or products printed from my design(s)) without first acquiring a commercial license from me. On Thangs.com I offer membership accounts for access to all my design files as well as a membership for commercial licensing which allows subscribers to sell printed products using my designs.

I welcome comments and feedback as we as requests for customization of designs. I will do my best to accommodate those requests.

    I believe the file is scaled wrong. both base plates are over 290mm.

      Sorry, my blog was written wrong. It requires a 300mm bed to print. The crib board is enormous. Each half is 290mm long. Sorry.

      I do have on my list of things to do, to make a new version of this that is folding and I can aim to make it smaller. But no idea when I can get to that.

      No worries. I might just try scaling every thing to 80% and see how that works.
