Chaos orb, split for easy printing
Print Profile(2)
Description
This is a Chaos Orb, a very useful currency from the popular and addictive ARPG Path of Exile! In-game, this will reroll a rare item with entirely new affixes! IRL, it will not. Maybe. There's a good chance none of my clothing is rare enough.
I took the original model, parted the larger outer shell from the inner portion, trimmed off the excess and set a registration block that runs through the whole model.
“Why remix this when there are so many others out there?”
The original model on Thingiverse was too difficult to print for me, and all of the other remixes I could find went for an entirely supportless experience. That's great and all, but I didn't like how they would leave a seam right down the middle of the smaller face. My version does need a small support on the nose of the center piece, but it's very unobtrusive and even the default settings left the print looking fantastic. The profile I've included has the supports painted on and the setting in place.
Printing at 100% should result in a press-fit assembly. The silk filament I used (Polyalchemy Elixir “Gold Rush”) grips quite nicely. As all of the surfaces are internal, some CA glue would not hurt. Printing any larger will make the tolerances loose, but that is easily remedied. The default arrangement will fit on the A1 mini without issue, please let me know if I need to make any other print profiles.
Update 6/28/25: I've uploaded a profile that has the individual models broken out into their own plates for easy reprinting. There is also a plate with an alignment block that is slightly smaller to print if the original alignment block gives you trouble. If you resize the model more than slightly, you will need to remake the alignment block to fit. When models are scaled, the 0.2mm or 0.4mm tolerances I've built in will also get scaled, leading to a tighter or looser fit. Since the block is such a simple model, just measure the hole in the center piece and scale the block to be 0.2 or 0.4mm smaller. Please let me know if you run into any problems.
