Flip multiple mechanisms simultaneously with a locking adjustable-length link!
As a bonus, it also spawns a mechanical tile to incentivize making connections across the board. Retrofit your mechanical tiles to be compatible with a Mechanical Link by printing new flippers provided in this pack. You can even chain Flip-Flops with multiple Links!
Card Rules Text Forbidden; On Play: Overwrite this with a linkable mechanical tile of player's choice from the pool. If able, connect any duplicate mechanisms with Link. Ongoing: Connected tiles and Link are a Combo. On Destroy of Linkage: Return Link to its housing.

Print/Assembly Instructions Step 0: Check remixes of this for other community made Linkable Flippers. Print 1 of each 'Link' file, no supports needed. The Top, Middle, and Bottom should be in a contrasting color to your board. Print at least 2 of each flipper you want, supports required. Step 1: Slide the Top and Bottom into the Middle. The set screw holes must touch the Top and Bottom when fully extended. Step 2: Install two M2x4 screws into the holes (slightly longer is fine). Make sure they are tight enough so the link doesn't collapse or extend when in motion on the board. And make sure they are loose enough so a player can tinker with the length. Step 3: Click-fit the lid onto the housing and place an assembled Link inside.
Remixing Tips I created and tested linkable versions all available mechanical tiles as of the time of upload, but unfortunately, they were either non-functional or not fun. If you're interested in creating a linkable flipper, cut out a centered ø4mm x 7mm hole and add side holes if possible. Make sure to remix the original maker of the mechanism and this so others can find it.
