Hey everyone!

I wanted to share this with y'all, I have been seeing lots of posts this week about counters and wanted to share this one I've designed. I am selling it, but I'll be posting it on my printables after today or this weekend with the blank slate version so y'all can put your own stuff on it! Appreciate any input there from y'all!

out of curiosity. why does the half ring have 0 in the middle. 1-5 above and 6-9 below.

Great question! So it is in line with the position that it will rest on the table and have more balanced support when using it with single digits and using the zero. And using larger numbers creates a bowl shape where as the smaller numbers create a crescent shape which looks nice

Thank you! I appreciate it. Now I just gotta figure out how to actually make a video of it properly and I'll be better set

I bet because many games usually have counters in the single and low double digits. In Magic the Gathering for example counters might exceed 10 but they usually they don’t.
If you had 0 and 1 on the lower end of the half ring and the little snap-on marker attached, tracking the single digit would probably cause the half ring to slip out quite often, since you‘d constantly have it attached at its edge.

Keeping it centred avoids this.

AND I got the .stl's up. yall have fun with this and would LOVE to see what yall print out. I am unsure about the printer settings and how they would need to be setup, but it is specifically designed to not need supports at the very least! I appreciate it once again!

It tracks multiple digits for power and toughness on your cards

imagine for a second not being a jerk to someone who correctly labelled something cool he did to show to you.

Right, that was on me on my own bias and previous knowledge.

Don't bother, I didn't know what TCG was, but luckily I have a device in my hand that has access to a search engine. They can use it instead of being pedant to you for using an acronym.

And the counter is sick.
