Problem statement

It turns out that the cardboard potion counters for The Wandering Towers are not resistant to having half a bottle of soda spilled on them…  This was the main motivation behind creating these replacement counters.

They are proportioned similar to the stock counters, although as a symmetrical shape.

Files provided

  • Zaubertrankflasche.f3d - Parametric design file
  • Zaubertrankflasche.3mf - Manufacturing file

Slicing/printing recommendation:

  • Colour change:
    • If you use the default scale in the manufacturing file the model is 2mm thick, so choose a layer height that allows you to divide the model in half horizontally
    • Slice the bottom half of the model in the primary colour of the potion you desire
    • Slice the top half in a subdued colour representing the empty potion bottle
      • The little wizard hat label is recessed so that if you slice the model in this way, the primary colour will show through as the wizard hat shape.
  • Nozzle: I used a 0.25mm nozzle with a 0.1mm layer height
  • Build plate: I used the Prusa textured plate for the nice effect on the primary colour side, but any should work.

NB.  I know the design file is a hot mess… sorry!  My CAD experience is limited to simple mechanical parts made out of nice simple geometric shapes, which fits nicely in my simple brain!

PS. In picture 1 there are some replacement towers that I have designed as well, you can find them here if you're interested.
