  • Rise of the Runelords, Chapter 5.1 – The Sinkhole

    If you have been a following of my on again off again podcast/video format, first of all thanks, but second I am likely going to discontinue that effort.  Realistically, it is a lot of effort to prepare the videos every other week, and the very small audience I seem to be reaching just isn’t worth…

  • Fun with Facebook

    Apparently something changed in my configuration, and my linked post to Facebook yesterday changed the site url from http to https.  This of course led to a warning when that link was followed, that the certificate was invalid (since I have no SSL configured), rather than opening the site directly.  For various reasons, it is…

  • Etsy

    With the latest 3d printer design, I decided to dabble a bit into the Etsy scene, and see if this machine might be able to pay for itself somewhat.  If you play Star Wars: Armada (or eventually other games), consider stopping by and placing an order.  Or just take a look at what I have…

  • Star Wars: Armada – squadron trays

    As I continue to tinker with the 3d printer and create miscellaneous tools for various games, I created what I believe is a fairly nice tool for Armada, specifically around the use of Squadrons.  A common issue is that when you have to adjust damage, it is difficult to adjust the model, without moving other…

  • Batman

    Got a bit bored printing boxes for game storage, so I decided to print something fun, and ended up with a bust of Batman as a desk decoration.  Final print is about 6 1/2 inches tall, which sizes well for my desk.  It was printed from a Thingiverse design, with a 0.15 mm resolution and…

  • Star Wars Armada

    We attempted a Star Wars: Armada game as part of our bi-weekly TableTop group (Huber Tabletop), which met with mixed success.  Since there was a lot of interest, I had decided to up the typical fleet size from 400 pts to 800 pts, so that we could easily handle multiple players per side.  What I…

  • Fun with Plugins

    Spent some more time tinkering with plugins on my OctoPrint environment for the 3d Printer, and ended up loading a new plugin or two.  In particular, I added one called OctoLapse, which provides a much more consistent and stable timelapse for the printing.  Basically it enforces a standard location for each snapshot, and allows a…

  • Zombicide: Black Plague token holder

    As I tinker with 3d printing, I have been coming up with a few miscellaneous designs.  One of my more useful ones is a token holder for Zombicide: Black Plague, which I created a few days ago.  Zombicide, like many games these days, has a lot of miscellaneous cardboard tokens.  They are challenging to organize…
