If you download this, please "love" or "collect" it! UPDATED 5-3-2019: Alternate +1/+1 and -1/-1 tokens now available! See pictures. New versions are named MtGCounterNeg1Neg1.stl and MtGCounterPlus1Plus1.stl. I also made some minor tweaks to make the counters look better for 2 color printing. Use layer height of 0.2mm and set your second color to start at the 14th layer. Here are stackable counters designed for Magic: The Gathering. There are Faced counters, which illustrate things like life, power, toughness, mana, loyalty, energy, abilities, etc; and there are Basic counters, which are stacked under Faced counters. For example, let's say you want to add 3 Energy. You take a Faced Energy counter and place 2 Basic counters underneath it. This way, you only need a few Faced, and you can use the Basics to add +1 to all sorts of things. Faced counters include: Mana (Swamp/Black, Plains/White, Mountain/Red, Forest/Green, Island/Blue, Colorless) Loyalty, Experience, Energy, Charge, Time, and Poison Power/Toughness (Power, Toughness, and P/T [+1/+1]) Negative (to turn Power and Toughness into negative values. [-1/-1]) Keyword Abilities (Flying, Trample, Haste, First Strike, Reach, Menace, Lifelink, Hexproof, Indestructible, and Vigilance.) Amonkhet Series (Treasure, Brick, Exert, and Embalm) Life (5 and 1). Used in conjunction to track player life. To begin a game with 20 life, take a "5" counter and place two basics underneath it. Take a "1" counter and place four basics underneath it. When stacking Basics under Faced counters, I recommend using different colors, so they stack easily without having to pull hard to get them out. The counters are designed to fit together perfectly. The circle coming out of the top of Basics should print approximately 8mm diameter. The hole in the bottom should print approximately 8.4mm diameter. To get a good fit: In Slicer, I recommend printing perimeters first. In Cura Standalone Version, I recommend tweaking horizontal expansion. How I Designed This I designed the faces by finding Magic the Gathering images and tracing them with Bezier curves in Sketchup. In some cases, such as the numbers and letters, I took pictures of Magic cards, imported those images into Sketchup, and traced. I did not use anyone else's CAD files to make these. Then, I adjusted the facings for optimal printing. In many cases, this meant enlarging portions to be at least .4 or .8mm (so a .4mm nozzle would print the small details). I went through several iterations in size and tolerance to get these just right. This is licensed under Creative Commons -- Attribution -- NonCommercial. I don't really like using the NonCommercial clause, but I feel I have to here because most of the symbols on the facings are the intellectual property of Magic the Gathering owned by Wizards of the Coast. They own the copyright on most of the symbols. That being said, you may not sell these counters without first getting permission from Wizards of the Coast. The abilities symbols that I used to make some of the counters were designed by Pamela Ansman-Wolfe for Duels of the Planeswalkers. As for the design of the counter itself and the stacking mechanism / concept (i.e. everything BUT the symbols), you could consider these aspects licensed by me under Creative Commons - Attribution - Share Alike. Print Settings Printer Brand: Printrbot Printer: Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: .2 Infill: 100 percent (for weight) Notes: I HIGHLY recommend printing at .2 layer height. I can't guarantee good results with .3 height. I designed the counters to print perfectly without any problems. The circle coming out of the top of Basics should print approximately 8mm diameter. The hole in the bottom should print approximately 8.4mm diameter. To get a good fit: In Slicer, I recommend printing perimeters first. In Cura Standalone Version, I recommend tweaking horizontal expansion.
