    A second print for terrain for Star Wars: Legion, this was a long one coming in at 27 hours with a resolution of 0.15mm.  Model is by SableBadger, hosted on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2894409, specifically model #3.  As before, pictured with a Pathfinder figure for scale.  The print turned out very nice, though there was a…

    Taking advantage of my recently leveled printer bed to print out some terrain pieces for use in Star Wars: Legion.  First up in a power generator, using the design by Sablebadger on Thingiverse.  This is printed in my normal grey PLA, with a 0.15 mm layer height and 10% infill.  I didn’t have any stormtroopers…

    As anyone who has used a 3d printer knows, leveling your print bed (aka Tramming – aligning the flat print surface so it is equidistant from the print head at all times and locations) is one of the most critical steps to setup and to insure a well produced part.  In my experience, it has…

    After a bit of downtime on the printer last week, I have it running well again, so I have started working on expanding my terrain pieces.  First up was a couple more large format tiles for the True-Tiles set, specifically a pair of 4×4 flagstones.  With our Rise of the Runelords campaign, the rooms have…

    It has been a long road, but I would say we finally managed to kick off our Shadowrun campaign yesterday with a success.  Being played entirely online thru Roll20, this is a new experience for all the players, not only with the technology but also the game system and settings.  Due to numerous real-life challenges,…

    Another trip to Toledo, another round of updates to my work on our trophy for the upcoming Magic: The Gathering tournament.  Last time, I applied a base coat of black to the overall model, making it appear to be a large lump of tar.  This time, it was drybrushing the stone base with different shades…

    The title is a bit of gibberish to those unaware, but this past weekend, before my trip, I managed to make time to try to upgrade my 3d printer to use the ADVi3++ firmware.  Basically, this means upgrading and re-flashing the firmware of the built-in controller board and LCD panel with the ADVi3++ software –…

    This weekend is our next scheduled attempt at starting and kicking off our Shadowrun campaign – after numerous false starts.  I know the characters are done, and the laptops and headsets are ready to go, now I just need schedules to cooperate.  And admittedly I need to review my planned notes, so I remember at…
