Update 2021-06-25: Added alternate bases.

This is remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4631883 by tomasotwo.

These are 3D banners that replace the cardboard tokens included in the board game War of the Ring.

I have split the originals into separate files as well as cut the banners in two so that they can be easily printed using FDM.

I have also pieced together a blank banner for Free peoples and Shadow respectively that can be printed and used on the political track. This wasn't a perfect solution but the small artefacts will not be noticeable once printed.

Print both sides of each banner as well as one base and glue everything together. For the blank political track banners I scaled them to 70% in my slicer software so that it would take up a little less space on the board.

I have also provided alternate versions of the bases. I was not happy with how the original ones worked so I made new ones with adjusted dimensions as well as room for a washer underneath. It is hard to overstate how much of a difference this made to the stability of the banners.

There is a large and a small version for army box and the 70% scaled political track banners. The larger one uses a washer that is 18mm in diameter, 1,5mm thick and has a 6,5mm hole. The smaller version uses a washer that is 15mm in diameter, 1,2mm thick and has a 5,3mm hole. Sorry, I have no idea what imperial equivalents of these washers would be. But I have included my Fusion 360 project for anyone to adjust to what they can get hold of.

Photos show my test prints of a political track banner printed with a 0,25mm nozzle as well as a shadow army box marker printed with a 0,4mm nozzle for comparison. Neither banner had been glued so they are a bit crooked.
