So one shield is that long gear/turbine/thing?
That'd be a yes. It's a model of the Shield generators from Hoth in Episode 5.
Awesome rating: Too dang High!
Practicality rating: 5 of 10. Those are probably too large, considering that there will also be damage tokens and dice camping out on those cards.
What did you use as a reference to create the file for the printer?
Found the original file on thingiverse and added the base in 123D Design. Yeah these are a rough draft i will make them smaller once im happy with them. But never need more than 3 shields right?
personally i would use a single hub for each point of shield many hubs can be set side by side to mark the total number of shields.
