3D model description
Roll your healing potions in style with a set of Healer's Dice!
What are Healer's Dice? These are custom dice used for rolling your character back up to health using 5E rules. These dice are numbered 2-5 to eliminate the need for extra addition with the various levels of healing potions, except for the supreme healing potion. If you happen to nab one of those in game, just roll all 10 dice and add 10 to the total (or use a wish spell and send it to me).
The fine folks over at The Arcanist's Armory have licensed the use of their Rod of Asclepius as well as the Healer's Dice name to be used on this case. What better way to transport and display these awesome dice than a printed version with matching logo and printed instructions, all in the form of a mini medkit! Every party's cleric could use some of these!
There are three versions of the box. One is plain, with no logo on the outside of the box. The other two versions have the Rod of Asclepius and Healer's Dice on the outside with choice of vertical orientation (which direction you want the logo when the case is closed).
The insert inside of the lid contains the instructions for using these specialty dice, and also keeps the dice in place when the box is closed. This piece is printed separately, and then glued inside of the lid.
Examples:
-Regular potion, roll 2 dice
-Greater potion, roll 4 dice
-Superior potion, roll 8 dice
-Supreme potion, roll 10 dice and add 10
There are 2 versions of the insert which will work well printing in 2 colors. One option has raised letters, and the other has recessed letters (I used a pause-at-layer-height gcode script to do this). The slots for the dice are tapered to mimic the radius of the dice and allow for easy removal during play.
The tolerances are pretty loose in the hinges and clasp. I only used supports under the bar that the clasp locks down on. You definitely DO NOT want supports in any of the hinge areas.
This box was based on work done by SarahRice (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3354983), but heavily modified to be specific for these specialty Healer's Dice.
3D printing settings
I used the following printer settings:
-Layer Height: 0.12mm (box)
-0.20mm (lid insert)
-Infill: 20% (less will probably be okay, I wanted them a little hefty)
-Supports: No*
I used supports on the box ONLY under the bar where the latch locks. If your printer will bridge that okay then it may not be necessary. Keep supports out of the hinge areas!
I printed all of my test pieces in a few different colors and brands of PLA with no problems. The hinges are rather loose feeling, and didn't give any problems when I removed the part from a cooled print bed. If you plan on printing the recessed letters insert, the + sign might get a little muddled with a 0.4 nozzle. Once in a while on my slicer program, I would notice that in preview mode after slicing that the box would show the skirt only around the latch and buckle. I dropped the entire piece 0.1mm below the print surface, resliced, and got the expected skirt around the entire piece. I'm not sure what caused this, but it's something to be mindful of.
