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

myminifactory

This is a comprehensive dice-counter and day/night keeper for the Talisman board game with Blood Moon expansion. It holds two D6's securely in place, allowing gamers to keep track of turns during events involving multiple players. To use it effectively, simply place the counter on the board with the rounded edge facing towards the game surface, and the square part positioned to monitor the game flow. The device allows for simultaneous counting of two dice, making it an ideal solution for tracking turns in complex events. For instance, you can place a card in the holder, turn the pointer to indicate the player who triggered the event, and start counting. One notable feature of this design is the slot located in front of the day/night switch. This slot allows gamers to insert a card that will be discarded when dawn or dusk occurs. The device also includes a small hole in its center, which is accompanied by a pin that matches perfectly with it. The creator of this design drew inspiration from several sources, including: * A dice holder (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:764352) * A stone texture (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1939478) * A card slot profile (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2341075) To create the day and night 3D objects, the designer used the original card design as a starting point. These objects are then placed in a holder, which is designed to keep them secure. The creator also made sure to test the rotation of the device and designed the base to hold everything together. For printing, it's recommended that you print the day/night components in different colors and the dice holders twice without supports. To avoid holes where walls meet, enable the "Expand skins into infill" preference in Cura. The designer has also tested the print on a Prusa MKII and recommends using this setting for optimal results. For assembly, follow these steps: * Insert the pin through the hole at the bottom of the dice holder. * Use a die to press it into the hole in the base. * Remove any small print supports from the day-night holder. * Glue the 3D cards into the slots of the holder. * Push down on the entire assembly using the pin in the middle of the base. You may need to perform a few trial runs to get it sliding smoothly.
