Description

The final word in squad organization and identification.
 

Description

Included:

  • A 1-color variant dial cover
  • A 2-color variant dial cover
  • 2 target lock tokens (open)
  • 2 target lock tokens (filled)
  • 1 small base ship identification ring with no arc on one side and a single arc on the other
  • 1 medium/large base identification ring with one arc on one side and a double arc on the other

The turret arcs have a tab that engages with the ship's peg. This keeps the turret from rotating freely, but allows you to easily turn the turret with the brush of a finger. All of the pieces slide in and out of the sides, top, and bottom of the dial cover. The target locks and be reinserted in any orientation and have an extremely satisfying click when they engage. Flying a small base ship? Use the medium/large base identifier to mark the pilot card. Do the opposite when flying a medium/large base ship. There's a hole in the dial cover to allow the faction logo to show through. The maneuver dials easily pivot in and out of the dial cover, but don't fall out no matter how hard you shake it.

Printing Advice

I've included a gcode file which I use for printing on my own printers. I've also included a 3mf file that has all the settings I've discovered are best from printing hundreds of them. Some highlights:

  • Use 100% infill. Anything else is probably too weak.
  • Use at least 2 perimeters, preferably 3.
  • The 2 color variant requires 2 color changes. The skirt is required to avoid oozing getting stuck between layer changes.

This design is the result of many iterations and over a hundred hours of work. I hope you enjoy playing with it as much as I have enjoyed making it!
