Replacement Potion Counters for Die Wandelnden Turme (The Wandering Towers) board game

Problem statement

It turns out that the cardboard potion counters for The Wandering Towers are not resistant to having half a bottle of soda spilled on them…  This was the main motivation behind creating these replacement counters.

They are proportioned similar to the stock counters, although as a symmetrical shape.

Files provided

• Zaubertrankflasche.f3d - Parametric design file
• Zaubertrankflasche.3mf - Manufacturing file

Slicing/printing recommendation:

• Colour change:
  • If you use the default scale in the manufacturing file the model is 2mm thick, so choose a layer height that allows you to divide the model in half horizontally
  • Slice the bottom half of the model in the primary colour of the potion you desire
  • Slice the top half in a subdued colour representing the empty potion bottle
    • The little wizard hat label is recessed so that if you slice the model in this way, the primary colour will show through as the wizard hat shape.
• Nozzle: I used a 0.25mm nozzle with a 0.1mm layer height
• Build plate: I used the Prusa textured plate for the nice effect on the primary colour side, but any should work.

NB.  I know the design file is a hot mess… sorry!  My CAD experience is limited to simple mechanical parts made out of nice simple geometric shapes, which fits nicely in my simple brain!

PS. In picture 1 there are some replacement towers that I have designed as well, you can find them here if you're interested.
