Rupees / Rupies

In all the Zelda games, rupees have been the currency of Hyrule. They are gems of different materials denoting different values but all sharing the same cut.

The denominations changes a lot in the early games. I think, it is now settled to the following:

• Green = 1
• Blue = 5
• Red = 20
• Purple = 50

Other values are still changing colors frequently.

Variations

The classic rupee has a pointy cut. But you could turn the stone 90° and make a "flat" version. Or, you may cut it roughly the same size and create a “round” gem. Both alternatives are present as STL and 3MF files.

My Intention is to use them for board games. Therefore, I also created variants with embossed monetary values … only for the classic shape. But with the SCAD file you can make whatever comes to mind.

Printing

Depending on your printer and where the slicer places the start of a layer, you may want to use supports. All my G-code files use supports.

I think they look best when printed in PETG because it is usually translucent.
