Victory point chips for the following games:
- [Race for the Galaxy](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/28143/race-galaxy)
- [Roll for the Galaxy](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/132531/roll-galaxy)

- [Jump Drive](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/205597/jump-drive).
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.
