    Fixing the Anycubic Kobra 2 Max

    Sometime last year, I acquired the large-format 3d printer from Anycubic, the Kobra 2 Max. The intent was for large prints, jobs that I couldn’t handle on my aging Prusa MK3s. With a build volume of 420x420mm, this handles about 4x the volume. The hope was further efforts with life-size droids, perhaps some cos-play helmets,…

  • The Treant

    The Treant

    With my recent focus on painting efforts, I had a bit of a break from the dwarven warband, and opted to paint up a large Treant, specifically Ohro the Tree Shepherd from The Beholder Miniatures. I am intending to use this piece for a special Mordheim scenario, king of the hill style battle. You may…

  • Dwarf Treasure Hunters (Mordheim) – Grimnar Ironhand

    Dwarf Treasure Hunters (Mordheim) – Grimnar Ironhand

    Continuing my painting tutorial series with a Dwarf Noble model, and the start of a new Mordheim warband – the Dwarf Treasure Hunters. As my warband leader, Grimnar Ironhand provides the stubbornness and strength of the dwarves, ready to face any challenges that may come their way. I tried a few alternate techniques this time,…

  • Dog Tags update

    Dog Tags update

    Managed to cut and clean up a bunch of the acrylic, and then start to assemble the various components. Overall, I am happy with the look and format. However, there is notable flaws in the laser engraving of the acrylic – I suspect my settings are too hot for both engraving and cutting. Quite a…

  • Bolt Action Scoreboard

    Bolt Action Scoreboard

    Finally caught up (a little) on my product development, and posted out Bolt Action Scoreboard on Etsy (soon to follow here). This includes both a digital download option, as well as the physical laser-cut design, depending on the customer’s capabilities. With the weather starting to warm up, it will be nice to get back into…

  • Bolt Action “Dog Tags”

    Bolt Action “Dog Tags”

    With our recent Bolt Action attention, and my efforts at painting the figures, I have been pondering ideas for various game aids. I already have easier to read order tokens, movement sticks, and clear area of effect templates. What I have been missing however is Pin markers, and markers for Indirect fire tracking. The default…

  • New options for my Wargame Widgets

    New options for my Wargame Widgets

    Based on customer feedback, I added a new line of colors to my 3d printing and have expanded the Wargame Widget line of unit markers. I am now stocking slightly less common colors of purple, orange, yellow, brown and gray, in addition to the original red, blue, black, white and green. This gave me motivation…

  • Legion Points of Interest

    Legion Points of Interest

    I have a set of basic 3d printed marker “disks” that we have been using for Star Wars Legion since the 2.6 update. These are functional and work – they are highly visible with the green on the white background design. However, they are also just flat tokens, and rather boring. After the first few…
