Designer's Description

I have made some simple cubes for Terraforming Mars based on the original icons of the resources of the game. I did not really like that all the resources were represented by the copper-silver-gold resource cubes in the original game as it is confusing for new players. These ones should look better.

The top and bottom side do not have an icon, to keep them simpler. I used ironing on the top surface to make it look better. A smooth plate on the bottom surface should complement it nicely. I was considering printing the top/bottom as silver color to denote the different denomination of the resources, but just different palettes I believe looks better. For my own print, I have used a variety of colors - i wish i had Plum for the Energy, but instead used dark blue for the x5 because I didn't have anything else with a better fit. Also perhaps copper-silver-gold PLA Silk would be good for the megacredits, but I don't have any and I am not sure if they can print with 0.2 nozzle.

All in all they are generally straight-forward to print. Don't print too many at a time as you may have adhesion issues if the print time exceeds ~8 hours or so - if you do, consider enabling a brim.
