    Months ago, I posted a video or two I titled “Behind the Brush” – short demonstrations and examples of the painting techniques I used. Very primitive and basic but accomplished their simple goal. However, they didn’t get much traction, I suspect mainly because they were so basic. With my recent efforts to do more talking…

    Haven’t posted in a bit, mainly due to lots of distractions. If you have been following the YouTube channel, I have been posting some content over there a bit more frequently as it applies to the videos. I am happy to say the channel continues to grow, though that isn’t the focus of this post.…

    Successful repair operation to replace the extruder fan on the Prusa i3MK3 3d printer. As previously reported, I was receiving sporadic temperature failures, which eventually lead to complete failures whenever the first layer was completed. The screen indicated either a TMC overtemp error, or a Crash Detected. In reality, it was neither. Instead, it was…

    Been dealing with a problem with my 3d printer, the Prusa i3MK3s that I have been running for the last couple of years. Up until recently, it has been running very well – solid prints, reliable operation, no major issues. In recent months, I did have an issue with bed adhesion to the removable build…

    In an effort to find a more cost-effective base coat paint for use with Contrast paints, we spent some time this weekend finding several similar shades of spray paint to the official Citadel Wraithbone. At this point, I have an official can, and 3 alternatives ranging from 50% to 75% cheaper. Assuming they work and…

    Continuing the work and printing on the life-size B1 Battle Droid, which is now able to stand on its own. Central body pieces are still printing, then I can tackle the arms and hands, but the main structure is intact. Total height to the top of the head is about 6 foot 4 inches, taller…

    Updating on my 3d-printed life-size B1 Battle droid, which is slowly taking shape. I have completed the head, and most of the torso, after several days of printing. All the parts go together remarkable well, and ample use of super-glue is holding strong. I am currently working on finishing up his blaster rifle, which can…
