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…

Zombicide, like many games these days, has a lot of miscellaneous cardboard tokens. They are challenging to organize…

Farewell, Gwenivere
Yesterday the time came for my long lasting best friend and pet Gwenivere to pass away. She was my first “on my own” dog, and a steady companion since she was just a puppy some 17 years ago. For a Labrador, she had a very long and filled life, she never gained weight that is…

Painting Aid
Spent some time working with the 3d Printer, and building some tools for hopefully helping with the miniature painting. In this case, it is a handle system, which should make it easier to hold unpainted figures, maneuver them around for better angles, and still be easy to swap out for bulk painting of several figures. …
