  • SW: Armada Squadron plates

    3d Printer has been running overtime recently, building up my stock of SW: Armada squadron plates.  I have these up for sale on my recently deployed Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/Halfling13Hobbies) site.  Currently I have my listed ship time as 1-2 weeks, primarily so that I didn’t get surprised by a large order before I could create inventory. …

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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. …

  • Star Wars Armada ship tray

    Branching out my 3d Printing efforts into accessories for other games, and have settled on a design for an organization tray for Star Wars Armada ships.  Basic design, you have the ship card, plus a number of tokens and dials, which of course tend to move around and get confused.  This design hopefully will allow…
