• Starting to dabble a bit more into 3d printing for fun and profit, with my first commissioned parts for a friend.  My recent successful prints have given me confidence that I know what I am doing, and can repeatedly succeed on the print jobs.  So my first effort is a printed set of parts, for […]

  • For many months now, I have had an active Patreon account, which I am suspending for the time being.  Fundamentally, I like the idea, but I just don’t have enough interest in my content to actually receive any subscribers.  And honestly, I don’t generate enough content to actually justify a subscriber.  Perhaps in the future, […]

  • 3d Printer has been running overtime recently, building up my stock of SW: Armada squadron plates.  I have these up for sale on my recently deployed Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/Halfling13Hobbies) site.  Currently I have my listed ship time as 1-2 weeks, primarily so that I didn’t get surprised by a large order before I could create inventory.  […]

  • 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 […]
