If you want to print this in Bambu Sparkle Onyx Black, you can use ironing with 60mm/s speed and 30% ironing settings. This print profile is for printer with larger beds (e.g. A2L, H series…) and require no assembly after printing. Use the other profile if you have a smaller format printer (e.g. A1, P series…).

This variant is for smaller format printers (e.g. A1, P series). The 3-tile piece of the fracture holder is too big to print on smaller beds and thus it needs to be split in 2 halves. You could glue it together, but it's not strictly necessary as if you place it over my galaxy map frame pieces it will stay in place. NOTE: If you want to print this in Bambu Sparkle Onyx Black, you can use ironing with 60mm/s speed and 30% ironing settings.

Designer's Description

💫 Twilight Imperium fracture systems holder for galaxy map frame

This is a holder designed specifically for my TI map frame with tiered interlocking components. If you have Thunder's Edge expansion, and use the map frame system, then you could add this to your map to hold the fracture systems as part of the map frame.

It supports any height and the 3 pieces could be put on different heights as well. For the 3-piece one, where Styx is, you may need only 2 frames to support it.

You can orientate the holders in different ways if you have limited space on your table, while keeping the distance between inner systems compliant with the game rules.

🏗️ Printing advice

To use this model, please refer to the main model and print the bases you'd like to use at the desired height. Also refer to that project's page for tips & advice on how to print & connect the pieces together.

You can use Bambu Lab Sparkle filament for a more “galaxy / starry night ” look. For the fracture specifically I inverted my usual scheme and used the red sparkle for the main pieces and black for the tile holders. It worked well although I came to realize the red version of this filament is not completely opaque and has a hint of translucency which didn't bother me after all.

Normally I use the red sparkle for the trays for anomalies.

If you print the model using a sparkle filament, 60mm/s at 30% worked well for me in the ironing settings.

Note: if you print this using the smaller print profile the 3-piece fracture tile holder had to be split into 2 halves to accommodate the smaller print bed. This does not change the model, and you shouldn't need to glue the two halves together as they'd sit in place into the bases from the main galaxy frame model.
