Cosmic Encounter Star Organizer

thingiverse

This is my version of a Cosmic Encounter ship revolver and planet holder. Pass these out to your players and have them flip the whole thing upside down, and you're basically ready to go. This was inspired by this Thing, which I can't figure out how to properly credit as a Remix origin: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2390899 I found this one to be expensive on filament and unpleasant to interact with. Not to mention the planet hold tabs felt flimsy to me. So I remade it with my own changes. I offset the planet prongs and beefed them up, got rid of unnecessary material on the outside and bottom with cutouts, made it just tall enough to do its job. I also have the grip adjusted on the planet prongs so they don't tear up the planets when you take them out. Overall, this uses a lot less filament, which means it prints faster, too. And I think it's a lot more visually appealing, not to mention much more pleasant to load, with more ways to enjoy unloading them. I've painted mine because I only had grey, black, and white filament at the time. That was very easy and pretty fun to do, with just some painter's tape and acrylic paint pens, and it definitely makes them pop.
