Fueling the Rebellion
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.

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.

ADVi3++ upgrades

by
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 –…

Shadowrun (perhaps)

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…
