Modified & Scaled Gloomhaven Standee Life Counters

thingiverse

I tweaked these from chanson836's stands, which I believe he modified from someone else. I didn't like how the modifier attributes hid behind the cardboard standee, making them harder to see. So I started by modifying the top piece and lowering a few pieces to make the overall stands about a millimeter shorter than the original. Then I printed a bunch using variable settings in Simplify3D. Next, we played a game of Gloomhaven, and noticed that the bases are significantly larger than the hex spaces on the boards of the game. As the game went on, it became a tight fit. We also realized that when viewed from the side, the health figures were hard to read. So I went back and scaled them down 91% to make them fit tightly inside the hexes. Before doing so, I modified the gap that holds the standee so that the cardboard wouldn't be pinched. I also chamfered the top plate to make it a little easier to read from the sides. The plastic gets pretty thin here, so be careful when printing, removing, and using. Here's an important note: the numbers print pretty small as it is, and at 91%, I suspect they basically can't print at all. To make mine (and to make all of my board game components), I use a .2mm tip. The difference is amazing. I suggest using .2mm tips for the parts of this stand, especially if you want the smaller-scale versions. They're cheap, and with some minor settings tweaks in your slicer software, there's little required to print with a smaller tip. Last thing: you might need to play with sizing of the ring and the base to get yours to turn the way you want them to. I had to make the parts fit much looser than the original. If yours spin too easily, try sizing them up 2-3% or so, starting with the base, and then modify the ring to make it fit the base. Try not to modify the top or the standees may not fit properly. I've included both the full size and scaled-down versions, just in case. Enjoy!
