  • True-Tiles, second batch

    In preparation for the second wave of my True-Tiles printing, I have been batch printing a lot of bases, while I wait for the little round magnets to arrive today.  I believe I will need more square bases to fully re-finish the prior tiles, but I will be doing those once I have fully tested…

  • 3D Printing viewing

    I doubt I had anyone actually bother to watch my 3d printer in action, and if you had, then you likely found that the performance was certainly lacking.  As an alternative, I have now instead configured it to run through my YouTube Live channel, with a streaming option instead.  This provides far better quality, which…

  • Skulls

    With the acquisition of the 3d Printer, my son’s big ask was for a prop for use during our gaming sessions.  Since he is currently playing a Necromancer in our Pathfinder campaign, he of course wanted a skull to show off.  And since I am always up for a challenge, we opted for not just…

  • Printing and more printing

    Finished up a second batch of tiles on the printer while I was out of town this week, then upgraded the little Raspberry Pi computer that manages the printer itself.  Now I should have sufficient space to at least do a timelapse of future prints, and potentially even stream live to YouTube.  Still a bit…

  • True-Tiles Batch 1 painting

    Managed to take time to paint up the first set of True-Tiles, consisting of 10 doors, 4 flat tiles, 5 single wall tiles and 5 corner tiles.  Total time, about 4 hours.

  • 3D Printing View Port

    Are you mesmerized by an active 3D printer like I am?  Can you stare for hours watching the robotic arm move back and forth as it slowly builds a model millimeter by millimeter?  If so, then I have a fun little new option with my printer – a live feed that runs pretty much all…

  • True-Tiles – first batch

    Finished printing a first batch of True-Tiles from the demo set, and my project this week is to paint and drybrush them this week, so they are ready for our next Pathfinder game.  Set includes 5 corners, 5 single-wall sections, 4 field tiles, and 10 doors, which gives a decent start.  From here, I need…

  • Maneuver Sticks

    I haven’t played any games in a while, but I continue to collect and try to play Star Wars Armada.  When we last played, one of the maneuver sticks used for the game was a bit damaged – one of the gear “clicks” became a bit soft, making it hard to lock it into place. …
