We are the students of Passerelles Numeriques Philippines, Class 2019.
During our 3D training summer class, we have 3D printed a Filipino board game called "Game of the Generals".
GoG is an educational war game invented in the Philippines by Sofronio H. Pasola, Jr. in 1970. Its Filipino name is "Salpakan" and it is designed for two players, each controlling an army, and an arbiter or the referee to decide the results of the challenges. It can be played within 20 to 30 minutes depending upon the players.
Sharing with everyone our work so that they could also print their own Game of the Generals.

Notes:
Types of Plastic : PLA (Polylactic acid)
Printing Tips:
You can just simply download our design and import it in Cura but if you want you can make your own design from scratch( Sketch Up).
Before saving your file, you must check first the layers of your object in Cura to avoid errors while printing.
Calibrate your printer properly .
Always keep the build plate of the printer clean.
Do post processing after printing the object for better results.
These are the materials that we used in the post processing : cutter, ruler, shoes glue and the sand paper.
We used the shoes glue to paste the printed game board squares in the game board.
This is the finished product.
We designed every piece in Sketch Up, export in STL format and import it in CURA. Then, save it as gcode.
Below are the pieces that we printed and their time duration to print :
42 pieces
19.7mm x 13.8mm x 22.2mm
2mm thickness
Color: 21 black and 21 white
Printing duration: 10 mins. per piece
Game board Squares
Color yellow
20mm by 25mm
0.4 thickness
1mm spacing
Printing Duration: one hour
Game Board at the same time Game Box
Wooden type design
The objective of the game is to eliminate or capture the Flag of the opponent, or to maneuver one's Flag to the far edge of the board (the opposing back rank), subject to the following conditions.
The Flag, if challenged, is eliminated by any opposing piece, including the opposing and challenging Flag.
If a player's Flag is eliminated by a challenge, that player loses the game.
The Flag that challenges the opponent's Flag wins the challenge and thus also wins the game.
When the Flag successfully reaches the opponent's back rank, it has to survive one more turn without being challenged before it can declare a victory.
If a Flag reaches the opposing back rank and there is no adjacent opposing piece that can challenge it, the Flag wins the game immediately.
If a Flag reaches the opposing back rank directly adjacent to an opposing piece, and that piece does not challenge the Flag immediately on the opponent's subsequent turn, then that Flag wins the game.
Any player may reveal his Flag at any time and for any reason; play can then continue; most often, a player reveals his Flag after it has already secured victory at the opposing back rank.
These are the pieces that we have printed.
We design the pieces in Sketch Up but you can simply download the design from Thingiverse.
Import the file in Cura and check the layers before saving the file.
3. We have printed the first 6 pieces of the Private .
4. We printed the remaining 15 black colored pieces all at once. Same procedure with the white pieces. We used the following parameters in printing the pieces.
5. The last thing we have printed is the Game Board Squares that would be pasted in the Game Box. Since we need 72 pieces of the squares, so we printed it by batch. There are four batches and each batch contains 18 pieces.
6.We did not print the Game Board at the same time Game Box instead we created it out of wood.
