Nidavellir replacement gems

These are replacement gems for the boardgame Nidavellir by GRRRE Games. They have the same footprint as the original cardboard tokens, but have a raised centre to have a more gem-like look. The bottom edge is still a 2mm straight wall to nicely slot into the player boards.

I printed the blue gems (1-5) with Translucent Light Blue PETG (32600) since I had no translucent PLA at hand, I do think the Ice Blue (13610) would look great.
I unfortunately did not have a translucent yellow/orange (13410 for PLA or 32300 for PETG) available for the sixth gem, so I printed it in PLA Silk+ Gold (13405).

It was a tough choice for the infill pattern, because I wanted to imitate a gem, but did not like the cubic or Honeycomb patterns, so I went with Gyroid.

The main print profile uses a dynamic layer height that prints all gems in about 2h42m, to get a smoother finish on the top. The fixed layer height of 0.2mm takes about 2h50m and looks rather crude (see final picture).

All components were designed in OpenSCAD using a parametric, code-driven approach rather than traditional 3D sculpting software. The shape of the gem was made by tracing a picture of the original cardboard token in GIMP and exported as an .svg file for OpenSCAD.
