  • Magic: The Gathering 2019 Tournament

    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…

  • PLA temperatures

    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…

  • Rise of the Runelords Collectibles

    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…

  • Dice everywhere

    With our current Pathfinder game reaching high level characters (currently 17, approaching 18), it is becoming a much more common occurrence for 15 or more dice to be rolled at once for various spells and effects. As a result, several of the players have gathered large piles of dice to make the rolling a bit…

  • Need more brushes

    I decided it was time for a better brush holder, to store my painting brushes, as part of my organization efforts with my paints.  20 hours later, and a 3d Printed brush stand is completed.  Unfortunately, now I see I have several slots left open, which of course makes me want to fill them, even…

  • 3d Printing Tuning

    I am thinking it may be time to re-tune the basic extrusion details within my printer.  Although the printing is running well, and very reliably, I have been having challenges with filament tracking and estimates.  Using the FilamentManager Plugin for Octoprint, I can enter a spool of 1000 grams, but according to the numbers, I…

  • Magic: The Gathering, Tournament Trophy

    Wrapped up and finished the first place trophy for our upcoming tournament, by adding the final details.  Likely will still add a coating of sealant, just to help protect it a bit, but it is otherwise complete.  Overall, I am happy with the results, and the design works well.  I may adjust it a bit…

  • Star Wars: X-Wing Organization (revised)

    Continued to tweak and adjust the organization trays I have been working for X-Wing, and I think I have a solution design at this point.  Ended up not being as thin as I had hoped, but everything fits, and more importantly, the upgrade pieces connect well.  Going to test it out a bit in an…
