• 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • We attempted a Star Wars: Armada game as part of our bi-weekly TableTop group (Huber Tabletop), which met with mixed success.  Since there was a lot of interest, I had decided to up the typical fleet size from 400 pts to 800 pts, so that we could easily handle multiple players per side.  What I […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • Yesterday the time came for my long lasting best friend and pet Gwenivere to pass away.  She was my first “on my own” dog, and a steady companion since she was just a puppy some 17 years ago.  For a Labrador, she had a very long and filled life, she never gained weight that is […]

  • 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.  […]
