Description
A four digit life counter with a small compartment inside, a screw on lid and detents for the number positions.
It is part of a design family, so you do have a few options if you want it a bit different:
For multicolor printing and convinience, a 3MF file is provided. There are several modifiers present, deactivate or change them to get your desired outcome.
Recommended for printing is a layer height of 0.16mm and a 0.4 mm nozzle, but up to a layer height of 0.2mm and a 0.6mm nozzle the results have been surprisingly good as well.
The optional text on the lid or Axle (like HP & XP) simply is added via the text shape tool of the slicer. Any font you have installed is possible.
Material at one's discretion, I opted for PETG and 25% infill.
Scaling it down is possible, smaller than 60% and the tolerances may be become a problem.
If not already printed as multicolor, nail polish or model paint works well to highlight the glyphs. For text on the axle or lid a manual filament swap is advised, using the text shape tool to emboss your text may also be an option.
There may be improvements and modifications based on feedback given here.
Maybe, take a look at my other designs ;-)
