    Still struggling to find a format for the creation of YouTube content, after numerous challenges and setbacks.  I have found that game play videos are simply too long and involved to make good content – they are rather dull to watch, take forever to edit down, and I don’t have the gear to make them […]

  • Paladin (with beer)

    Decided to test the limits of the printer, and attempt to print a custom gaming miniature.  In this case, it is a paladin, wielding a sword and beer.  Resolution was set for 0.1mm, and there was a lot of support material, but overall I am happy with the quality.  The picture certainly highlights the roughness […]

    A second print for terrain for Star Wars: Legion, this was a long one coming in at 27 hours with a resolution of 0.15mm.  Model is by SableBadger, hosted on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2894409, specifically model #3.  As before, pictured with a Pathfinder figure for scale.  The print turned out very nice, though there was a […]

    Taking advantage of my recently leveled printer bed to print out some terrain pieces for use in Star Wars: Legion.  First up in a power generator, using the design by Sablebadger on Thingiverse.  This is printed in my normal grey PLA, with a 0.15 mm layer height and 10% infill.  I didn’t have any stormtroopers […]

    As anyone who has used a 3d printer knows, leveling your print bed (aka Tramming – aligning the flat print surface so it is equidistant from the print head at all times and locations) is one of the most critical steps to setup and to insure a well produced part.  In my experience, it has […]

    After a bit of downtime on the printer last week, I have it running well again, so I have started working on expanding my terrain pieces.  First up was a couple more large format tiles for the True-Tiles set, specifically a pair of 4×4 flagstones.  With our Rise of the Runelords campaign, the rooms have […]

    It has been a long road, but I would say we finally managed to kick off our Shadowrun campaign yesterday with a success.  Being played entirely online thru Roll20, this is a new experience for all the players, not only with the technology but also the game system and settings.  Due to numerous real-life challenges, […]

    Another trip to Toledo, another round of updates to my work on our trophy for the upcoming Magic: The Gathering tournament.  Last time, I applied a base coat of black to the overall model, making it appear to be a large lump of tar.  This time, it was drybrushing the stone base with different shades […]
