Paper Miniature Base

prusaprinters

<p>I needed bases of different sizes for my printed miniature figures. The gap is sized for the thick paper I use on my figures. I apply a small amount of superglue along the bottom edge tab I cut in the paper, then slide the tab in to the base.</p><p>When printing arrays, I use two colors with the top four layers set to 0.1mm (the rest 0.2mm). &nbsp;I've found that two layers at 0.1mm tends to give a better result than one layer at 0.2mm. &nbsp;The included .3mf and .gcode files have a color change at the appropriate layers.</p><p>Need to store these? &nbsp;Try one of my <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/261487-tabletop-token-boxes">Tabletop Token Boxes</a>!</p><p>Arc module by chickenchuck040 found here: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1092611">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1092611</a></p><p>Pictured miniatures from Printable Heroes: <a href="https://printableheroes.com/minis">https://printableheroes.com/minis</a></p><p>Update 2019-10-10: Added option to create a round bevel around the upper edge.</p><p>Update 2019-10-15: You can now create arrays of bases with indexed numbers on the surface using the customizer. Lowered default resolution from 200 to 100 to reduce compute time slightly (still very slow with lip and array enabled).</p><p>Update 2022-08-18: I've been using a thinner 2mm base vs the original 3mm, so I've uploaded print files for those variants. &nbsp;Updated scad generates indexed arrays in a logical order.</p><h3>Print Settings</h3><p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p><p>Prusa</p><p><strong>Printer:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>I3 MK3S</p><p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Supports:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>No</p><p><strong>Resolution:</strong></p><p>0.2</p><p><strong>Infill:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>20</p><p><strong>Filament:</strong> Prusament PLA&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Notes:</strong></p><p>I didn't need a brim for these since they're so short that they finish printing before they cool enough to lose adhesion. YMMV.</p>
