Entry #1:
Push the separator between the tiles to create a bit of a gap, and either push away from you, or twist it slightly to widen the gap. This tool functions as a wedge. Print this on it’s side to increase its strength.
Entry #2:
Lay the tiles texture side up, and align the 3-pronged side of the separator with the corresponding holes on the tiles, then push down on the flat sides of the tool. For the 1x1 and 4x4 tiles the process is pretty much the same. The 1x1 tile only needs one of the tool’s external prongs inserted, while the 4x4 tile needs the process repeated for every repeated 3-hole pattern along the tiles’ junction.
The 1-prong side is used to make removal of tile inserts (pillars, walls, etc) easier, preventing the damaging or snapping of the pins.
Entry #3:
Stick the center peg of the tool into the center square (not rectangular) hole between the two tiles, or at the edge of 1-wide tile bases. Push in to separate the tiles at the seam.
Print at 0.2mm and 15-20% infill
Entry #4:
Put the prongs of the separator on the seam of the tiles and push down on it. Due to the wider dimensions on the tool, it just pushes the plates apart. I have printed it with 10% infill and 02 layer height and it worked great, but for a sturdier print I would suggest 25% infill and a lower layer height like 0.16 or lower.
Entry #5:
Use the prongs in the wall slots to effortlessly split tiles and connectors. Alternatively, push the horn on the back down into a hole to split the parts. (See pictures below)
