This is a pentagram token for use with boardgames or similar. I designed it for The Others: 7 Sins. It comes in a few different flavors. If you don't care and just want to start printing, I recommend pentagram-token-standing-minimal_supports.stl. Read on for full description.
Behold, the ultimate pentagram boardgame token. I had a lot of fun trying to come up with a nice looking pentagram token that was also printable. It was really hard to get it right. The devil is in the details... ...sorry.
It comes in a edgy 3d-looking version, and a flat version. For printability, there are two main approaches, the standing (complete) version, and the separated version that requires super-gluing the pentagram to the base.
3d version
pentagram-token-separated-with_support-fixed - Printable as is, requires gluing, but will have a nicer circle and star shape, at the cost of making one side of the star rough. This one will have the nicest result overall but needs some sanding on the supports side after printing.pentagram-token-separated-no_support-fixed - As above, but supports are not pre-modeled.pentagram-token-standing_no_support - The purest model, and least printable. Requires adding supportpentagram-token-standing-minimal_supports - Adds minimal support so it is printable, but will have some overhang issuespentagram-token-standing-full_supports - adds full support so it is very printable standing.
Flat version
pentagram-token-standing-straight - Should print ok, some overhang issuespentagram-token-separated-straight-fixed - Flat version for glueing, should have the least artifacts of all versions, but no 3d effect :(
