Outlaws Bacta Vial - Star Wars FFG Stimpack counter remix

Stimpack counter for Star Wars RPG by Fantasy Flight Games

Introduction

First of all, thanks Nordic_Rex for a great model. Idea for making some kind of counter for Stimpack usage was floating in my mind for some time now, but I do not have artistic skills to create something from scratch.

Keep in mind, that due to limitations of my skills and the shape of the original object, I was able to fit only 5 states into the vial, so number of Stimpacks can't be 0 (completely red). In this case I'd, as a GM, just take the vial from the specific user if he uses up all his stims.

Print instructions:

For each vial it's necessary to print:

• Vial Middle x1

• Vial Bottom x1

• Vial Top x1 - optional color change might be necessary to first the color of Vial Middle

• Bacta x5 - each print should change color at different height. There are also small dividers added, which I printed in the color of the Vial to make the counting better, but it's not necessary.

Assembly:

There are holes prepared for six round 6x2 magnets.

1. Print all parts

2. Fit single magnet in the Vial Bottom

3. Using significant force, fit Bacta columns into Vial Top (I used vise, every column eventually snapped into place without any sanding or postprocessing)

4. Place 5 magnets into holes in bacta, keep in mind their orientation so they are pulled to the magnet in the bottom part.

5. Put everything together, align top part so that single column is visible through the window, hold it firmly and glue bottom to middle. Remove top part so it won't be accidentally glued with other parts.

6. If done correctly, top part should rotate freely inside the vial, jumping between states of the counter.

I hope the model will work nicely, I printed it on MK4S with MMU3 and everything seems to work fine.
