Twilight Imperium Wormhole Gates

thingiverse

Here are some minis I designed to replace the wormhole cardboard tokens, for better visibility and for coolness. Took a Stargate token that I found somewhere on Thingiverse, forgot which one exactly, there are a bunch that are similar, shrank it, and added a base. At first I was trying to decide between different base style, but then decided to keep all 3, so that each color gate has its own unique base style. Of course, you can make them all the same. Print two of the Half Wormholes, glue them together, and then glue into the base. I also sandwiched circular cutouts from a sheet protector as a thin layer between the 2 wormhole halves, so it looks a little shimmery from one side of the wormhole to the other. You can also use cellophane, saran wrap, etc. I printed 5 in green, 5 in orange, and 4 in purple. This accounts for the maximum number of tokens you may need (3 player setup with the POK expansions, Ghosts of Creuss , and the alpha/beta ion storm all active). EDIT: Not shown or printed, but you can also print out a blue one for the Creuss home system, I also designed holders for them to fit into the excellent insert designed by Fabmastersz https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4677648 For the holders, I printed 4 (one for the alpha gates, one for the beta, one for the gamma, and one for the Ghosts of Creuss player to have one of each type). If you print 4 of the long ones, 2 side by side will extend from one edge of the box to the other. I had to print 2 long ones and 2 shorter ones and use of of each per side, since I designed a strategy card holder that takes up a little space so the wormhole holders could not extend all the way to the edge of the box. See pic, it makes more sense. You may not have this extra space if you use the design by Fabmasterz however (I used the remixed lidless faction card holders by baford25 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4781952, which may be why there was a little extra space, so I figured why not put it to good use as storage for the strategy cards I also designed some extra even smaller compartments, labelled miscellaneous storage, where I can store other things like legs for fleet stands and such.
