Pokeball to store PokéPawns: generic-use pokemon game pieces

My Son love the PokéPawns from Thing 2271264. So I decided to Remix the Pokeball from Thing 411193 to store the PokéPawns in it.

Update:

I added more Pokemon. These are to be printed with the Base.

I also added a holder for a standard 16mm dice.

Instructions for Pokeball =========================

You will need:

All 6 printed parts

Super Glue

A small spring ~1.75 cm long (you can find these in ball point pens and mechanical pencils)

Sandpaper

An extra piece of 1.75 mm thick filament ~2.75 cm long

We printed all of the parts using a 0.2 mm layer height and 10% infill. We used support material for all of the parts. Make sure that you carefully remove all of the support material and sand down the rim of the lid (this is important to get the lid to lock correctly).

Instructions for PokéPawns

Before printing all the pieces, print base-lock-test to make sure the piece-locking mechanism will work with your printer settings, and to figure out how big to print the base for each piece. If you can rotate the cylinder freely inside the hole, you'll need to print the base slightly larger. If you can't fit the cylinder inside the hole at all, you'll need to print it smaller. The goal is to be able to fit the cylinder into the hole (some twisting may be required to find where it inserts), then twist it a bit to lock it into place.

Print one of each of the pokemon, and six of the bases (resized if necessary, as determined by the test above). At this size, mew's tail looks much better when printed with supports.

Use superglue (Loctite Superglue Ultra Gel Control works great) to attach the pokemon to the bases, and to attach the the pokeball halves to the lid of the box--they fit into the holes in the lid from the inside of the box.

Paint some eyes on the pokemon to give them a bit of life.
