Battletech bases in the dimensions of Catalyst Games bases.
Files included are the normal hexbase design, hexbase with magnet slot, hexbase compatible with Ironwind base cutout, double length hexbase for large vehicles, and a lowpoly file for custom bases.
Recommend printing them upside down so the supports connect to the flat top side, it is possible to print them without an angle but I've found my printer to struggle with lifting each layer. Using this formula Arctan(layer height/pixelwidth) in degrees you can find the optimal printing angle to achieve a smooth flat surface for the bases. For my printer settings it would be Arctan(0.025/0.051) in degrees, entered into google to get 26.114 degree angle.
