Life Counter

thingiverse

This is a 3 digit HP/Life counter for RPGs or whatever you like. It ranges from -99 to 899 which is a pretty wide range but it can be extended since you can add as many digits as you like (I've included the .123dx files so you can modify it easily). You only have to add more number rings and extend the pentagonal shafts. The tolerances are quite forgiving and there should be no problem in printing it. For the assembly two elastic band are required (ora a single big one). They will keep the pieces together AND highlight the right line of numbers to read. (See next sections for details). Print Settings Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2 mm Infill: 10 Post-Printing Parts Assembly Materials needed: Two elastic bands (ora a single but big one) Electrical tape (optional, see "Additional notes") Step 1 Put the rings in the base with the longer pentagonal shaft. The first ring is the one with the spacer on its right (and has a "-" instead of a "9"), the middle one is the ring with no spacers and the last is the one with the spacer on the left. (If you added more rings make sure you took into account the spacers correctly). Step 2 Insert the second base part in the first one. It should be easy to take apart if needed. Step 3 Add the elastic bands as shown in the picture. Additional notes If you think the rings moves too freely you can put some electrical tape (or whatever sticky and rubbery thing you can think of) on the pentagonal shaft so it can add some friction. This way it should stay pretty firm.
