Dice Towers
Following another kickstarter (Fate’s End Dice Towers), I have a growing collection of themed dice towers in 3d printer formats, ready for printing and creation. This was more of a fun collection, rather than a truly useful or practical effort – but with kickstarter, there are lots of inexpensive projects. Each design is a set…

Earlier this year, in an attempt to streamline my 3d printing efforts and avoid frequently changing PLA spools, I was convinced to try a large-spool format. Specifically, I opted for the 5 kg spool of grey PLA from Gizmodorks (gizmodorks.com). This was in comparison to my previous use of 1 kg spools, typically Hatchbox brand.…

However, it has required quite a bit of adjustments to the configuration, in order to run “well”. I continue to have challenges with supports, especially…

Not only is it fully supported and the “official” answer for my i3 MK3s Prusa printer, but it has some advances in the recent version that my prior option (Simplify3D) simply doesn’t have. In particular, the latest…

Squadron organizer
First draft of the design for a squadron organizer for X-Wing, validating the sizing and wall structure. I am happy with these measurements, though the small holes at the top (intended for magnets) are a little too small. The rest seems to be good on the first attempt. My next stage is to work out…
