MTG — Pact Reminder Token (YOU WILL PAY Scroll)

A medieval scroll token for Magic: the Gathering that says exactly what it needs to: YOU WILL PAY.

Use case

Magic has a small but vicious family of cards that let you cast something now and pay for it next turn — and if you don't pay, you lose the game outright:

• Pact of Negation (free counterspell, then 5UU upkeep)

• Slaughter Pact (free instant-speed kill, then 2B upkeep)

• Intervention Pact (free damage prevention, then 3W upkeep)

• Pact of the Titans (free 6/6, then 4R upkeep)

• Summoner's Pact (free green tutor, then 2G upkeep)

…plus delayed costs from Suspend, "at the beginning of your next upkeep" triggers, and any other "I owe my opponent something next turn" situation.

When an opponent casts one — or when you cast one and they try to forget it — drop the scroll on the table in front of the responsible player. It does the reminder for you.

What you print

55×80 mm slim slab — slightly smaller than an MTG card (63×88 mm) so it fits next to a sleeved card without crowding the play area. Raised half-cylinder ridges at the top and bottom evoke the rolled ends of a parchment scroll. YOU / WILL / PAY in raised Luminari lettering across three lines.

Two-colour: parchment body + ink letters.

• combined.stl — ASCII multi-solid (body + text) for Bambu Studio's Split to Parts. Recommended.

• body.stl — filament A (slab + roll ridges) for single-colour fallback or filament-swap workflow.

• text.stl — filament B (raised letters) — drop onto the body if printing parts separately.

Bambu AMS workflow (recommended)

1. Import combined.stl into Bambu Studio.

2. Right-click the imported object → Split to Parts.

3. Two sub-parts named body and text appear, locked at exact coordinates.

4. Assign filament A (parchment) to body — cream, ivory, or light tan.

5. Assign filament B (ink) to text — black, dark brown, or sepia red (pictured: dark forest green body + copper ink).

6. Slice. Print flat on the bed, no supports.

Why a combined STL with named solids? Bambu's "Add Part" rearranges coordinates — the letters would land off-centre. A single ASCII STL with two named solids + Split-to-Parts preserves the exact alignment.

Single-colour fallback

If you don't have AMS, print only body.stl (a blank scroll) or combine it with text.stl as a single-colour print — the raised 0.6 mm letters are still legible without the colour contrast. Or pause-and-swap filament at the layer where the letters start (z = slab_t = 2.0 mm) for a manual two-colour finish.

Print settings

• Bambu Lab P2S (or any 0.4 mm FDM)

• 0.2 mm layer height, 3 walls, 15 % infill

• PLA Basic

• No supports

• Print front face UP on the bed (letters and rolls on top)

• ~3 g per token, ~15 min print time

Full parametric .scad is included. Variables at the top of the file control:

• Slab dimensions (slab_w, slab_h, slab_t)

• Roll ridge diameter + inset

• Text font, size, line spacing, line content

• Letter raise depth

Want a different reminder text? Change text_lines (currently ["YOU", "WILL", "PAY"]) — works for any 1–4 short lines. Suggestions to steal: ["END", "STEP"], ["LOSE", "LIFE"], ["PAY", "OR", "DIE"],

["Fetch", "Land"], ["Con-", "Cede"].
