Betrayal at Baldur's Gate Character Tile Tracker
You will also need:
- 8 3x2mm circular magnets (Unaffiliated link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B5GGSK3F)
- 8 46x1mm metal rods
- some craft glue
- pliers (optional, but useful for snapping the magnets into place)
I liked the designs I found for the Player Card holders, but none of them allowed me to slide the arrow back and forth (there is a "Windowed Claw" version I saw, but that's more rotational than sliding) so I made my own :) This will also work for Betrayal at House on the Hill since you aren't limited in the placement of the arrow, though I think the arrow length is a tad short in which case you can use the ones in https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5828014 which this is remixed from
Fair warning: it is a little bit of manual labor post-printing, but I personally liked the results so I hope some of you will enjoy it as well.
Directions:
Print 4x of the `Border Piece` and 4x `Magnetic Arrow` for every 1 `Border` as shown in the pictures.
For the `Magnetic Arrow`s, the magnets on the underside are friction fit but if you find yours to be too loose, a small dab of craft glue will hold them in place. A set of pliers helped me immensely in snapping the magnets into place.
Feel free to make the `Border Piece` a little longer (1-2mm at most) if you find yours has a gap. I intentionally left a tiny gap because my printer tends to have some pretty bad elephant's feet depending on the print resolution, but they should fit fine without too much hassle.
For each `Border Piece`, I bent some paperclips into straight (or as straight as I could get it) pieces and cut them into 46mm long rods that I then slid into the holes and glued into place. You could get away without glueing them, but I found that the glue helps to keep them near the surface of the print and there is less rattling around, but ymmv if you're not jerry-rigging some metal rods out of paper clips. Lastly, apply glue to the bottom (the side where you insert the rods) of the `Border Piece`s before putting them in their respective places on the `Border`.
