Tokens

thingiverse

Based on a recommendation, we implemented a token system with our kids. When they complete chores or tasks we want to encourage, they earn tokens that can be redeemed for privileges or lost if they misbehave. Initially, checkers from the dollar store were used, but it became complicated as it wasn't clear which tokens belonged to which child. This is my 3D printed solution. Each token features a child's initial and the colors are closely aligned with their favorite hues. The tokens have similar dimensions to the original checkers (23mm diameter, 3mm height, 0.5mm lettering height). The blank token was designed in Fusion 360. I added the letters using OpenSCAD as it is easier to center them there than in 360. Since I only have a single extruder, I use the M600 command and Prusa's color print utility to add the second color. I manually move the command down in the gcode to improve the print quality of the output. These are my first multi-color prints.
