    Football season is upon us, and that means my younger son is hard at practice with training for his now 5th grade team.  One of the volunteer duties of the parents is that one person is asked/volunteers to film all of the games, for review by the coaches and players.  Not too hard, but something…

    Got a bit distracted this week, while the kids were off at Cub Scout day camp.  We ended up being in charge of the pack flag, which has resulted in a number of crafty solutions.  The flag is a very large one, much larger than prior years, so first we had to find a bigger…

    Continuing with my efforts from yesterday, 3d printing support posts for Star Wars: Armada terrain. I have been batch producing pieces for the support posts.  A typical set of 5 posts takes about 3 hours to print, so thru the day I have finished a couple of batches and have a growing collection of pieces. …

    Continuing my builds of Star Wars: Armada scenery, I am trying out an option to 3d print more pieces.  Previously, I had a solution for the various cardboard templates (asteroids, gas clouds, space stations, and debris), and I have model solutions for each piece.  What I was missing with the support rod for each, to…

    Continuing with my design for a space station model for Armada, I have what I believe to be a finished set.  Might end up throwing some paint on it, but the setup already looks pretty good.  Posted is a picture with an ISD Interdictor for scale and comparison.  Note that the base of the station…

    Continuing my efforts at 3d Armada terrain, I printed out a set of stands for the game, that match the existing published cardboard pieces.  In these cases, I can mount a peg (possibly plastic, likely a thin wooden dowel), and then the plan is a set of lava rock stones.  May or may not paint…

    It seems my experiment with Etsy isn’t working out as well as I had hoped – fundamentally I have not sold pretty much anything as of yet.  Perhaps my price point is too high, there is very little interest, I just don’t know what I am doing, or likely, there just isn’t much trust in…

    Starting to dabble a bit more into 3d printing for fun and profit, with my first commissioned parts for a friend.  My recent successful prints have given me confidence that I know what I am doing, and can repeatedly succeed on the print jobs.  So my first effort is a printed set of parts, for…
