Coin Factory

Ever struggle to find the perfect coin or token for your game? It can be a real challenge to discover what you're looking for. That's where this customizer comes in - it's here to solve that problem once and for all. You have the power to create coins/tokens tailored to your exact needs. Size, shape, and borders are all up for grabs when it comes to customization. You can even add text onto the coin (this requires you to download an OpenSCAD file and compile it on your own PC). Creating a coin with rounded corners is definitely possible. Inner and outer border settings are separate, giving you complete control over how smooth those corners are as well as how far the smoothing will go. Big shout-out to Gige for coming up with this idea - thanks for sharing! Using smoothing can make printing a breeze by eliminating sharp corners altogether. To achieve this, just set subdivisions to a high value (20 is a good starting point) and smoothing to a low value (4 works well). Easy peasy. After some trial and error, I discovered that setting both inner and outer borders to a width higher than the perimeters really helps with bridging. For example, using 2 perimeters with a nozzle of 0.4 will result in a thickness of around 1mm. There are plenty of settings to play with - give them all a try! Disabling the bottom border makes for an incredibly easy print. To handle the bottom border, make sure bridging is working properly on your printer. Text support requires a newer version of OpenScad, so you'll need to download the coin_factory.scad file and work on your computer. Settings are located at the top of the file - just press F5 for a preview, F6 for rendering (be patient), and then click on the STL button in the toolbar to export. Update (2017-08-04): More premade coins added! Update (2017-08-05): Rounded corner support is now live, thanks to Gige's great idea! Update (2017-09-05): Take a sneak peek at our upcoming features - text and elliptic shape are on the way. I'll be updating the customizer soon. Update: Text and elliptic shape features are coming your way!
