DND Nickel bases

thingiverse

Remix of awesome miniature bases made by Valandar, see here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3067745 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3314896 I added a circular cutout in the bottom that will friction-fit a US nickel. The hole in the middle is so that a nickel can be popped back out with the help of a paperclip or SIM removal tool. #### Tolerances On my standard Ender 3, these print with a range from just barely tight enough to hold a nickel to so tight that I have to snap one in with a pair of pliers. But most are just right, and a nickel can be easily snapped in and out without falling out during use. If these don't print with quite the right fit for you, you can probably just scale an entire base STL file by 1-2% to get a perfect fit on your particular printer. If you want to properly scale just the hole, I've included my blender file, which is kind of a mess. #### Other I also included a Nickel Outer Ring to put around existing on-nickel minis so that everything will have the same base diameter. **EDIT 4/2/20** Added Nickel_outer_ring_flat.stl. The original nickel outer ring model was rounded on top to make it look nicer, but in practice this just led to an unreliable fit. The flat version is full height of a nickel, snaps on more reliably, and can be glued underneath models that already have a flat base to easily convert them to nickel bases.
