  • Crafting the sticks

    Continuing with my efforts from yesterday, 3d printing support posts for Star Wars: Armada terrain. I have been batch producing pieces for the support posts.  A typical set of 5 posts takes about 3 hours to print, so thru the day I have finished a couple of batches and have a growing collection of pieces. …

  • Have 3d Printer, will print

    Continuing my builds of Star Wars: Armada scenery, I am trying out an option to 3d print more pieces.  Previously, I had a solution for the various cardboard templates (asteroids, gas clouds, space stations, and debris), and I have model solutions for each piece.  What I was missing with the support rod for each, to…

  • Space Stations (updated)

    Continuing with my design for a space station model for Armada, I have what I believe to be a finished set.  Might end up throwing some paint on it, but the setup already looks pretty good.  Posted is a picture with an ISD Interdictor for scale and comparison.  Note that the base of the station…

  • Asteroids

    Continuing my efforts at 3d Armada terrain, I printed out a set of stands for the game, that match the existing published cardboard pieces.  In these cases, I can mount a peg (possibly plastic, likely a thin wooden dowel), and then the plan is a set of lava rock stones.  May or may not paint…

  • Space Stations

    I have been working on trying to enhance the materials for Star Wars: Armada, and have been focused recently on the scenery pieces – the space station and asteroid markers.  With the game, these are simple cardboard pieces, which work, but are not as nice as the full 3d ships and squadrons.  There was a…

  • Etsy update

    It seems my experiment with Etsy isn’t working out as well as I had hoped – fundamentally I have not sold pretty much anything as of yet.  Perhaps my price point is too high, there is very little interest, I just don’t know what I am doing, or likely, there just isn’t much trust in…

  • SW: Armada Squadron plates

    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. …

  • Etsy

    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…
