Fixing the Anycubic Kobra 2 Max
Sometime last year, I acquired the large-format 3d printer from Anycubic, the Kobra 2 Max. The intent was for large prints, jobs that I couldn’t handle on my aging Prusa MK3s. With a build volume of 420x420mm, this handles about 4x the volume. The hope was further efforts with life-size droids, perhaps some cos-play helmets,…

With my recent focus on painting efforts, I had a bit of a break from the dwarven warband, and opted to paint up a large Treant, specifically Ohro the Tree Shepherd from The Beholder Miniatures.

New paint rack
—
by
I have been working on a re-design of my painting station, trying to put most of the various pieces up on the wall (using designs by Multiboard). As part of this, I realized that my existing paint racks where rather over-sized. They worked well to store paints, but the angle and size meant that there…

Managed to cut and clean up a bunch of the acrylic, and then start to assemble the various components. Overall, I am happy with the look and format. However, there is notable flaws in the laser engraving of the acrylic – I suspect my settings are too hot for both engraving and cutting. Quite a…
