Keyforge Key Token - Multipart

BIG UPDATE Mar 2, 2019: Now that I've got my own 3D printer, I've been making iterative tweaks to the design behind the scenes and it's resulted in a v3 update. The new design uses a solid puck instead of fiddly inserts, which are now replaced by a ring that sandwiches between the forged and unforged sides. There are two versions of the insert: one solid (v3_SolidInsert) and one hollow (v3_HollowInsert). The hollow one reduces material needed and has space for a 1.5" steel washer to add weight to the key for a much better feel in hand. I tweaked the aember design (v3_NewAember) so that it's flush with top of the key and a little chunkier, making printing them a LOT simpler by creating sprues like on a model kit. No supports needed, just orient the files properly. For v3_NewAember, I had to enable "Print Thin Walls" in Cura to get the sprues to print correctly. Everything in the pictures was printed on my Ender 3 Pro with Hatchbox PLA. I used Silver for the key body parts; red, yellow, or blue for the inserts; and yellow for the aember. I tinted the aember with an orange sharpie and did a black wash on all the silver parts. V3 Instructions: For ONE key - Print v3_ForgedSide, v3_UnforgedSide, and v3_MidRing in whatever color you would like the body of the key to be. Print v3_HollowInsert if you want a weighted key or v3_SolidInsert in the key color (Red, Blue, or Yellow). Print v3_NewAember in whatever color you'd like your Aember to be and clip the sprues off. IMPORTANT NOTE: You will probably need to enable "Print Thin Walls" or the equivalent in your slicer to get the sprues to print. The insert should fit snugly into the key, but if it doesn't, don't worry - it's just a minor adjustment. UPDATE Aug 30, 2018: I received the print of this my friend made and the tolerances are WAY too tight, so the file needs to be modified. Because of the way I designed the insert, it also needed supports to print (at least on his printer), and cleanup was a pain because of how shallow it is, so I think I'm going to redesign how the colored insert for the forged version works. I also don't like how thick the piece was overall, so I'm adjusting the design in that regard. UPDATE Aug 23, 2018: I've posted a make of this file https://www.thingiverse.com/make:529285 that a friend fired off for me to test fit and sizing and such (he's mailing it to me so I can check it out in person). Pretty happy with how it looks, though. Used the image of the key from the manual to create a vector (Photoshop and Vectornator Pro), then used that to model from scratch in Fusion 360. This is my first 3D model ever, so I claim no level of quality on this. For a set for ONE player, you will need 3 each of Forged and Unforged. The Forged Insert is the colored insert for the keys, and in the manual, they are red, blue, and yellow, but you can print them whatever color you would like, 3 total. The Aember is designed to be used installed in the forged side as well as tokens while playing, so you would print 6 sets total - three to attach, three to play with. I would love feedback and to see how this looks when printed up.
