I wanted to make a set of POGs and Slammers similar to those made famous in the kid’s game of the 90’s. The history and gameplay can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_caps_(game).
I used the dimensions found here: https://georgestephanis.wordpress.com/2017/08/01/the-dimensions-of-pogs/. A thickness of 1.3 mm for POGs didn’t allow for a lot of room to play with a 0.4 mm nozzle. And I wanted smooth surfaces on the tops and bottoms (you know, like POGs) so no indentations or protrusions. With that in mind, I didn’t use the normal practice of layering and filament changes to get multiple colors with a single extrusion head. Also, the design couldn’t go all the way through in order to differentiate the sides in the game. So, it all sounds perfect for the MMU.
POG thickness is 1.3 mm (Slammers are 6 mm thick and slightly wider) with the design itself being 0.6 mm using 2-5 colors. If the design were any thicker, it showed through the back too much with some colors. Any thinner and the design could be less vibrant. To get smoother designs when printed, I flip to print the design first on the bed. Print with a starting layer of 0.2 mm and then 0.1 mm layers after that for a total of 12 layers. Slammers were printed the same way with just more layers. I used 100% infill on POGs and Slammers which helps the Slammer weight to match the dimensions linked above.
There are 66 POG designs split up into 6 “Prints” of 11 POGs each to spread the files out and hopefully make it easier to find designs. There is a different Slammer design in each “Print” for a total of 6 Slammers. There is a separate “Print” with a canister to hold POGs and Slammers and display trays that hold 1 or 5 POGs.
The attached text file lists the POG and Slammer designs in the various “Prints”. 14 of the 72 designs are remixed (some not from Prusa Printers) with credit shown in the list. The rest are mostly free clipart available online or something I created.
