Slay the Spire Enemy HP Overlay

Why make another enemy HP tracker?

When I get a game…I always check to see what I can print to make it better, or as a box insert, or certain utilities that make playing the game more enjoyable. I didn't really like the other options that people came up with to solve this problem. I also needed an excuse to learn to do modeling. Thus, the heavily over-engineered enemy HP overlay was born!

Problem

• Enemies with more than 10 HP were annoying to track on the cards
  • Sometimes I even had to pull out the boss HP tracker
• I also disliked how easy it was to bump the table and mess up the game state

Some of the other ideas to solve this problem just felt incomplete to me. It was very jarring to see the numbers on the card, but use another number to track the cube not be directly adjacent to the number.

Objects

Boss Overlay

This is the version that I prefer to use all the time. It doesn't intrude on any text on the bottom section of the card, ever. However, it doesn't cover up all of the HP on some cards - I prefer this myself. I also broke the numbers and letters into separate objects to make them easy to print in a designated matching color.

Overlay

This is very similar to the boss tracker that comes with the game. I dislike that it covers up juuuuust enough text at the bottom of some cards. But I made it, and some people might be fine with that. So here you go!

Card Tray

This needed to give enough support to the overlay, and also not get in the way of flipping the card over during play. I tried really hard to get just enough balance there.

Printing Guidelines

The model is designed to print with a 0.2mm layer height. The surface detail for the numbers really seems to want a small nozzle for the details, my 0.4mm nozzle can't quite get there for my liking.

Print 16 card trays and 16 overlays.

Multi-color 

If you decide to use multi-color to print, I prefer when the overlays are ironed on all top surfaces.
