Shield
54 × 74 × 15 mm. A peaked heater with a beaded rim, a raised cross and fleur, and six bezels under the chief. Lay the 74 mm side along the longer edge of the bed.

A shield, a crown, a sword, and a helm. The shield, crown, and sword also come in a one-inch size. The full-size shield, the full-size crown, and the helm each have six sockets, one for each subject in a set. The gem is a stone with a long peg: the peg drops into the piece and the stone stays on top, the same way a star post sits in a Mario board piece. The one-inch shield, the one-inch crown, and the sword are solid. The sword follows the sword on the game page: a long blade, curled quillons, and a crown pommel.

Gem
13 × 13 × 19 mm. One stone. Print it six times, once in each subject color. The peg already points up.

Star
18 × 17 × 17 mm. The clear-crown prize. Same peg as the gem. Set it in front of a finished piece, or park it in the rack.

Gem rack
54 × 36 × 16 mm. Holds six gems between rounds. Two rows, so it fits the bed.
Download the rackHow a gem docks
The hole is 5.6 mm across and 13 mm deep, with a little extra room at the opening. The peg is 4.8 mm where it meets the stone and narrower at the tip, and a slot lets it pinch. Press the peg in until the stone sits on the surface. About 7 mm of the stone stays showing. The one-inch shield, the one-inch crown, and the sword have no socket. Those pieces are solid.
Print one gem before a whole set and try it in a socket. A tight peg can be filed. A loose one can take a dot of glue. If you change the scale in the app, change the gem and the piece by the same amount. A scale of 1.25 means 125%.
On a Toybox
- The bed is about 70 × 80 × 90 mm. These files stay inside that, with room for the brim the app draws around the first layer.
- PLA, a 0.4 mm nozzle, and 0.2 mm layers. None of the pieces need supports.
- The gem and the star print peg-up. Turn them over to play. The crown prints on its band.
- The printer has one color at a time. Swap filament so the six gems match the six subjects, then print the piece in a plain color.
- One player needs one piece and six gems. Four players need four pieces and 24 gems, because each player earns their own.
- The app slices the STL. A gcode file from another printer will not match this machine.
Other piece ideas
The helm is already here so a fourth player can have a different piece. The one-inch shield, crown, and sword are the pieces that move on the paper board. Two more are worth a later print: a castle gate for a finished piece to stand in, and a banner with one socket as a subject marker. A picture die needs finer detail than this nozzle holds. The die in the app, or any spare die, covers the board.
