    Finally managed to get the trophy for this year’s Magic: The Gathering tournament to print properly. Previously, I had broken the model into 4 separate pieces, in order to minimize the printing challenge. Although it printed well, this also meant there were several very noticeable seams in the final assembly. This year, with some more…

    Finished the printing of the pieces for the ancient red dragon, and did a bit of quick assembly. The pieces are still rough, and could use at least a coat of a primer, if not a full painting, but overall I am rather happy with the results. I included a Valeros figure for reference. The…

    Second attempt at a custom wax stamp, and second failure – though there is notable improvement. With a much more robust handle and base, the PLA did not warp and melt this time, which is an improvement. And with some internet suggestions of oiling the surface, the wax did not stick as much. However, the…

    A while ago, I posted a wax stamp handout I had created for our Pathfinder campaign – some formal writs of authority the group was granted. At the time, I ended up with a compromise solution – a basic store-bought stamp of a generic pattern and “flexible” wax. The result was workable, but not quite…

    Running some further experiments with 3d printed Miniatures for gaming. There are a number of online sites (most notable HeroForge), where custom minis can be designed thru a website. At the end, you can choose to have the figure professionally printed, or you can download the STL file for self-printing. However, since a home printer…

    Starting preparations for our annual Thanksgiving Magic: The Gathering tournament, which admittedly isn’t until late November. However, there is a bit of preparation I need to do, not the least of which is prepare, build, and paint the trophy for this year. I expect I will use the same model, obviously updating the year, but…

    For the last several weeks, the 3d printer has sat idle and quiet, waiting for the next projects. Some of the reason was that I was a bit overloaded with the rush to finish the Pathfinder boxes (which was nearly so urgent since the game was delayed), but since then, it was just being overly…

    As a commemorative for our successful completion to the long running campaign (assuming the weather and schedules allow for our final session), I have been working on a collectible for each of the players. This is based off a design from Thingiverse for a dice case, which can also store a pencil and have a…
