Description

This sleek life counter is designed to fit perfectly into a card box alongside your deck, thanks to its card-sized dimensions. It utilizes a Geneva Gear mechanism, creating a unique "clockwork" effect. Every tenth life point added or subtracted changes the constellation symbols displayed, offering a visually dynamic experience with moving stars.

Features:

Support-Free Printing: No supports required, making it easy to print on any FDM 3D printer.
Compact Design: Thin and card-sized to fit seamlessly in your deck box.
Geneva Gear Mechanism: Works like a celestial clock, changing star constellations as life points are adjusted.
No Glue Needed: The assembly snaps together easily; a bit of lubricant helps the gears rotate smoothly.
Single Filament Change: Unlike similar models that require multiple filament swaps per layer, this design is simple and user-friendly—just one filament change is enough to achieve the stunning dual-color effect.
Post-Assembly Tip: After assembly, twist the counter to ensure all parts fit snugly. The mechanism may feel tight at first but will loosen up with use.

No, there is a color switch in third layer. You must select two diferent color. It is just not visible on BambuHandy preview. You can see it is multicolor in other posts.

Printed from the Bambu Handy app using the provided profile and the case doesn't snap shut. Looks like the posts are too tall. Any suggestions?

"Hammer! 😄 Just kidding – the model is fine, it’s been printed by 20 people (including me), so there’s definitely no issue with the design. If the snap isn’t clicking in, try applying a bit more force. It’s also possible your filament was slightly damp, which could make the snaps tighter. Good luck, hope it works out!"

I love it! It's a very well-conceived model, it fulfills its purpose, and you also give it a special touch with the drawings

Truly awesome. The box closure clips are excellent, the rotation is a bit stiff but when it all comes to life it's really cool

Any chance of getting one of these for 4 people

@CaedesCZ

Do you mean a single tracker with four dials for four players? Unfortunately, that wouldn’t fit within card size anymore — it would have to be significantly larger.

@victhebum

Replying to @CaedesCZ :

Yeah I know it would be bigger but I like this style of 1 wheel to move both numbers instead of 2 wheels

@CaedesCZ

Replying to @victhebum :

“Hmm, well, I’ll think about it — a bigger counter could already be a real astronomical clock. :-)”

Hello, Can you confirm if the model is in two colors?When I load the model into Bambu Studio, I don't see anything being printed in red.Thank you for your response.

The designer has replied

@CaedesCZ

Yes, the model is truly dual-colored. The colors will appear in the slicing preview, as the color change occurs by swapping the filament within a layer. Unlike traditional painting, this approach has the advantage that the printer performs only a single cut.
