Had a number of recent projects this week that have been working the printer quite a bit. Not only am I working on my first printing and painting video, but I have been collecting a number of time lapse videos for other projects. The wife also tasked me with me with making a Boy Scout…

Microphone stand

by
After reviewing a number of tutorials on YouTube video creation, I ended up ordering an Amazon branded microphone stand, as an impromptu camera stand. This is a cheap option, and my concern was its ability to support and handle the weight of a camera. It arrived, and after some testing, I am rather happy with…

In our latest session, the group continued the mystery of the dwarven Vekker brothers, and what fate they found some 70 years prior in the mountains.

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…

Leveling (Tramming) the Monoprice Maker Select Plus
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…
