    A while ago, I posted a wax stamp handout I had created for our Pathfinder campaign – some formal writs of authority the group was granted. At the time, I ended up with a compromise solution – a basic store-bought stamp of a generic pattern and “flexible” wax. The result was workable, but not quite…

    Running some further experiments with 3d printed Miniatures for gaming. There are a number of online sites (most notable HeroForge), where custom minis can be designed thru a website. At the end, you can choose to have the figure professionally printed, or you can download the STL file for self-printing. However, since a home printer…

    Starting preparations for our annual Thanksgiving Magic: The Gathering tournament, which admittedly isn’t until late November. However, there is a bit of preparation I need to do, not the least of which is prepare, build, and paint the trophy for this year. I expect I will use the same model, obviously updating the year, but…

    For the last several weeks, the 3d printer has sat idle and quiet, waiting for the next projects. Some of the reason was that I was a bit overloaded with the rush to finish the Pathfinder boxes (which was nearly so urgent since the game was delayed), but since then, it was just being overly…

    As a commemorative for our successful completion to the long running campaign (assuming the weather and schedules allow for our final session), I have been working on a collectible for each of the players. This is based off a design from Thingiverse for a dice case, which can also store a pencil and have a…

    With our current Pathfinder game reaching high level characters (currently 17, approaching 18), it is becoming a much more common occurrence for 15 or more dice to be rolled at once for various spells and effects. As a result, several of the players have gathered large piles of dice to make the rolling a bit…

    I decided it was time for a better brush holder, to store my painting brushes, as part of my organization efforts with my paints.  20 hours later, and a 3d Printed brush stand is completed.  Unfortunately, now I see I have several slots left open, which of course makes me want to fill them, even…

    I am thinking it may be time to re-tune the basic extrusion details within my printer.  Although the printing is running well, and very reliably, I have been having challenges with filament tracking and estimates.  Using the FilamentManager Plugin for Octoprint, I can enter a spool of 1000 grams, but according to the numbers, I…
