I will warn you, printing the donkeys in 4 colors with separate colors for each will take a long time and waste a lot of filament. If you wanted to print a set of donkeys and don’t want to waste as much filament, I’d recommend giving every donkey the same cloth color and printing all 11 on one plate.

i may want a scratch board upgrade. How did you figure out the right size for the grommets? I want to make sure that it fits correctly. The holes seem pretty oversized.

Which board do you have? If it is a fineni board, I think standard 4.5mm grommets should fit snug:

I’ve got this one. https://a.co/d/2rByEvv

It’s 23.6” x 11.8”.

The issue I’m having is that the drill holes are 1/4 inch large. So 2 things:

1) I think the plates might not fit well.
2) I’m trying to get the horses to fit more snug (they fall over easily).

Ah, yeah that is a different board. I haven't found grommets that fit with that board. I think if you added holes in lanes 2 and 12, you'd likely need to leave the wood exposed. However, I believe I can alter the scratch plates, racers and launch pad to all work. @TricycleClub and @Salmonblaster both have boards that have larger holes than the fineni boards and I was able to increase the size and locations of the posts to make things work with their boards:

I'd need to get some measurements from you if you were interested, but I think we could make it work. Just message me if you are interested. Thanks.

I just messaged them both to see what boards they have and to see what they did about the horses fitting more snuggly. I’ll dm about dimensions once I figure out if I’m keeping this one or moving on to another one that’s more standard.

I realized these are visible in the background of the pic in the previous post so I figured I should give some context. I also designed printable cards to use with the game, complete with racehorse-style names based on some of the donkeys... er, I mean players... from our home game:

They crack me up and are actually playable. But they take way too long to print due to the need for a smaller 0.2 nozzle to show detail, and they aren't perfectly identical due to minor printing inconsistencies from card to card. I'd never use this kind of printable card for regular poker, but they work for donkey races due to the pure randomness/lack of strategy of the game.

I posted this file on the makerworld link above as well if anyone is interested in printing a set.
