Easy Print Compass Rose (DnD/Tabeltop Games)

thingiverse

I decided to create a custom compass rose for my DND setup because none of the existing options met my expectations, so I took matters into my own hands. Some designs looked impressive but were tedious to print, while others were simple to print but lacked visual appeal. I aimed to strike a balance between ease of printing and aesthetics by designing a model that requires no supports, prints in one piece, and needs zero post-processing. Additionally, this design is straightforward (only pointing to North) rather than cluttered with all four cardinal directions. The compass rose was printed using CC3D silky gold filament and turned out stunning, looking equally impressive in white. This design scales well, making it easy to print larger versions if desired. A minor weakness of the original attachment point for the N is that it's somewhat fragile; therefore, I created a reinforced version with a slightly enlarged surface area to secure the N in place.
