These are simple creations to fill a niche problem. There are many war games out there that are expensive to play and as such many turn to paper craft to fill there need to play a game they love without going broke. These 3D printable objects was designed to make sure the perimeters of a given size are accurate but be very frugal on the cost of materials.

The result is a boarder with no core, but that is where the magic happens. Fill it with what you need or have. Play doh, clay, hot glue, or anything really, but my personal favorite is cheap foam core. Cut a line in the foam place your paper mini and done [maybe some glue].

There are 4 sizes I have made so far, just because I design as needed:

25mm base
32mm base
40mm base
170x105mm base

Each base has a slight angle to keep the material to stay inside the shell. Personally I like to think of this being printed upside down, leaving the thicker end up, mainly so rough cut foam doesn't show.

FYI: Foam core is poster boa
