While every Tak player appreciates the skill and craftsmanship required to design and produce a beautiful wood or leather Tak board, the tools, time, and materials required to make such a board can put one out of reach from most community members.
An alternative and comparatively more accessible method of crafting a beautiful set is with a 3D printer. Many local libraries or “maker spaces” have the equipment available for low-cost and - after learning to use the machines - requires less effort to create a board and pieces.
Here are three 3D Tak designs that you can download and use for free!
