Star Wars Armada - Squadron Dashboards - connectible

thingiverse

EDIT: 2019/05/18 - I decided to separate the Ace and Squadron bases into individual components to make the entire set easily connectable to a common base. This option uses slightly more plastic and requires more magnets than the fixed AceSquadron_Dashboard.stl and Squadron_Dashboard.stls. Alternatively, you can print multiple Squadron_Dashboard_Base.stl's and as many Squadron_LeftHand_Base.stl, Squadron_RightHand_Base.stl and AceSquadron_Base.stl's as needed - with magnet spacings remaining consistent. Building on top of spugnoids excellent Ship dashboards for Armada, I created these Squadron dashboards to complement the game. Two unique dashboards are available: one for Aces and another for regular squadrons (capable of supporting up to 4 squadrons of the same type). My goal was to minimize tracking on the game board; each dashboard features an activation slider, two slots for standard 12mm Dice to track health, and a slot for the squadron ID token to identify the corresponding model. The Ace squadron dashboard also includes two slots for Defense tokens. Corresponding dials with IDs are then attached to the squadron miniature base. A 3mm diameter rod of length 7mm is required to prevent the activation slider from falling out; I utilized spare perspect rod and superglued the Squadron_Top onto the dashboards. To make it easy to remove unused squadron trackers, I employed the 3mm diameter magnet idea from my connectable remix of spugnoids ship dashboards. These (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007JTKMA8/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) magnets were used. Additionally, I included a sheet of numbered discs that can be stuck onto cardboard and used on the squadron bases themselves to make identification easier. A 1 1/4" circle punch is required to cut them out (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0090JVF7E/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza#). Alternatively, you can use existing dials and a second squadron ID tag, but simply not use them to track health.
