Double Sided Victory Point Chips for Race For The Galaxy
Victory point chips for the following games:
These VP chips are double-sided and can be printed using a single extruder printer by changing the filament twice during the print. First I designed them with numbers in the center of each chip, but then decided maybe they would look better closer to the design of the original game component. In the end I liked the chips without text better because there are more imperfections in the printed numbers, but I have provided both models here.
Quantities
As a reference for the number of chips you will need, here are the original quantities from the games:
| Game | 10's | 5's | 1's |
|---|---|---|---|
| Race for the Galaxy | 4 | 6 | 18 |
| 4 Race Expansions | 3 | 5 | 3 |
| Roll for the Galaxy | 5 | 8 | 20 |
| New Frontiers | 8 | 7 | 25 |
| Jump Drive | 20 | 12 | 52 |
| Total | 40 | 38 | 118 |
Dual Color Printing
In order to print these chips in multiple colors I used Cura with the Filament Change post processing script:
- In the Cura main menu, select Extensions, then Post Processing, then Modify G-Code.
- Click Add a script and select Filament Change
- Assuming that you are printing with a layer height of 0.2 mm, enter 6,11 in the Layer field.
- Close the dialog.
- After slicing the model, be sure to use the Preview feature to confirm that the correct layers were entered in the post processing script. Tip: if you change the Color scheme in Cura to Line Type it is easier to see when the appropriate layer transitions occur.
