Talisman Global (Rotating) Turn-Counter and Time-keeper

thingiverse

This is a 'Global' dice-counter and Day/Night keeper for the Talisman board game with 'Blood Moon' expansion. It holds two D6's. We place it with the rounded edge to the board, and the square part facing the player keeping an eye on the game flow. It allows 2 simultaneous counters, to keep track of turns for an event involving multiple players, for example. You place the card in the holder, turn the pointer of the dice holder to the player that triggered the event, and start counting. It also has a slot in front of the Day/Night switch, allowing you to put a card in it, which should be discarded when dawn or dusk appears, for instance. For this design, I used three things: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1939478 - Used stone texture AND https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:764352 - Used dice holder, cleaned and closed bottom, added hole in center and pin to match AND https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2341075 - Used card Slot profile I made a 'Night' and a 'Day' 3D object of the original card design. These go into a holder. Designed the hole and pin, tested rotation, then made the base to keep it all together. PrintStuff: You might want to print Day/Night in different colors. Print the Diceholder twice. No supports needed. For Cura, enable 'Expand skins into infill' preference (to avoid holes where walls meet). Tested print on Prusa MKII. Assembly: Diceholders: First put pin through hole in bottom of the dice-holder. Then use a dice inside it to press it into the hole in the base. Day-Night: The Day-Night Holder has small print-supports that need to be removed. Use plyer or cutter. You can glue the '3D cards' in the slots of the holder. Then push down the lot on the pin in the middle of the base (you might need to do a run-in, by turning it a few times left and right, so it slides more easily). I am extremely grateful that people share stuff so others can change it. If you're keen on this principle, don't go making money off what people share for free! Enjoy!
