Revisiting Batman
—
by
Sometime ago, I printing a 3d model of a Batman statue, on my prior printer. Since then, the model fell a few times, and the PLA was damaged. With the new printer, and my Marble filament (which I am liking quite a bit), I figured it was time to revisit this print and re-create it.…
Craters and Pools

Traveling again thanks to my day job, visiting the Toledo area (as usual). This definitely causes an impact on my hobby activities – video editing is reduced to my laptop’s capabilities, and 3d printing is a bit more problematic (though still possible thanks to Octoprint). Currently working on some more terrain in preparation for our…
Big Norm

by
A side benefit of using customized STL files for miniatures – I can have some fun with them and print oversized options. In particular, our first character, Norm, I re-printed as a 300% collectible statue for my son. This takes advantage of the detail of the model, and gave me a chance to try out…
Cryptex

A side project I have been working on for a week or two now as a future prop for our gaming is this Cryptex design. The original files are available on Thingiverse, both the remixed version (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3090603) and the original version (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3074829). I used Hatchbox Black PLA for the interior mechanics, and Prusament Galaxy Silver…

It has been a while since I have tried to do timelapse videos of my 3d printing, but with the new printer, I am attempting to make a return to this format. As part of the replacement, I upgraded the Raspberry Pi to version 4b, and added a v2 Raspberry Pi camera. In general, the…
Watch Tower Assembly
—
by
Over the holidays, thanks to the new printer, I managed to finally finish printing the various individual pieces for the Watch Tower project. The last big piece was the roof tile – all one single piece and a rather long print. With my old printer, I just didn’t trust it enough to risk that length…
Norm, the goblin rogue
New printer, new projects. The first such major effort is a re-attempt at printing custom miniatures for our gaming group’s Pathfinder stories (and potentially others). With the old printer, this was not a practical option – the resolution was simply not there, and it was far too unreliable. With a Prusa i3 MK3s however, it…
Selling the 3d printer
As part of the holidays this year, I am upgrading my 3d printer to a new Prusa I3 MK3S, which is expected to arrive some time today. I opted for the kit version, which will give me a project to work on while I am off of work for a bit. However, this leaves my…
