Custom Helper Token

[cunning laurel]

I 3D modeled a helper token to use instead of coins. I traced the helper icon from the helper cards but I made the sleeping design myself. I love how it turned out!
Recommended print settings:
100% infill
0.2 mm layer height (0.1 might be a little better but unnecessary)
Dimensions should be 24.3056 x 24.3056 x 3.5 mm
Print upside down (active side facing down)
Filament swap at the beginning of layer 10 (assuming 18 layers, and printing upside down)

For those interested in how I made it, it was quite a unique process.
I don't really know how to properly 3D model, so I made the designs in paint.net and converted them to Minecraft schematics. Then, I imported them into a Minecraft world to make the 3D design with World Edit, then I used Mineways to convert the Minecraft build into an STL. Because it was a massive build (750x750x96 voxels) the uncompressed file was 711 MB. I used my slicer's built in compressing feature to get it down to 986 KB.

This is so cool!! Would you be able to make an .SVG .EPS or some other vector version of it? I don’t have a 3D printer but I do have access to a laser engraver at my workplace!

the sleepy version is absolutely adorable and very fitting

Hmm, I might be able to figure out a vector software and make a vector version if you'd like Comp

[cunning laurel]

I'd be cool with that yeah

[cunning laurel]

I too have a laser engraver and the software I use (Laser GRBL) has an option when importing PNGs to "Vectorize" them

Oh if you don’t already have it I can do it. Not like a priority to me so i probably wouldn’t get to it before the weekend is over, but that would be a 10 minute job for me if I sat down to do it

Someone else might beat me to it

Absolutely insane way to make the model lol I love it

[sterile granite]

Damn it I was thinking of doing this but I was away from my computer. Looks amazing though

[cunning laurel]

I'm not stopping you from making one yourself

[pallid wadi]

Yeah! There can be more than one design out there too!!! I saw someone else making one kind of based on the Pokémon TCG coin designs!

[cunning laurel]

I made a new topic specifically for posting about custom coins, so now anyone can show theirs off

This is truly diabolical and I appreciate you so much for explaining it and making these tokens

@cunning laurel if you need anything else modeled in 3d like this I can help out if it’s too much of a pain to do the Minecraft modeling roundabout (which I love)

[cunning laurel]

That's awesome I appreciate it

[sterile granite]

If you make more designs, I’m pretty sure you can put PNG files in tinkercad and export it as an STL

I made a Ouioui piggy bank that held one penny a while back with it

[cunning laurel]

Omg

[cunning laurel]

I gotta see that
