Some of the raw materials you’ll need

One FFG dial upgrade Colour printer Some 8mm disc magnets 2" / 50mm round dome stickers Superglue [Optional] 2" / 50mm MDF or acrylic discs

Step 1

Open up your preferred image editor and create a circle that is 2" / 50mm in diameter.

Find your desired image online. Make a copy of it and import into the image editor.

Fill the circle with the image, and crop/adjust as necessary.

Print it out. Photo paper works best, but plain paper will do fine.

Any image(s) you like!

Step 2

Stick a dome sticker over the top of your printed image. It should fit perfectly.

Cut it out with scissors (or if you have access to a round cutter, that will be easier).

[Optional] Mount the cut out image onto your MDF or acrylic disc.

They make for great super-sized tokens too

Step 3

Cut out a piece of cardboard that is the size of the insert for FFG’s dial upgrade. You can even use the dial markers if you like, but you may prefer to keep those!

Glue a pair of disc magnets onto the card, so that it fits snugly into the dial upgrade. Make sure both of the magnets have the same polarity. This bit can be tricky if you don’t hold onto the magnets carefully!

The key part — connecting your dial covers to the dial

Step 4

Glue a pair of disc magnets onto the back of your MDF / acrylic / printed out disc, with corresponding polarity and position to match the dial upgrade kit.

This bit is fiddly! Don’t be surprised if you end up supergluing magnets to each other. Make sure you get the polarities right

Step 5

Repeat for as many dials / covers as you like!

The result should be a batch of discs that mount readily onto your FFG dial upgrade kit, ready for you to swap at a moment’s notice for whichever faction or pilot you’re playing. With just a handful of FFG dial upgrade kits, you now have infinite customisation potential for every game you play.

Enjoy!
