Filament Choices

by
As I have been getting further and further into 3d printing, I have been experimenting with a number of different colors and brands of filament. In general, I have not found much significant different in quality for PLA between options, but for consistency, I have been tending towards the same ones each time. If curious,…
Printer gaps

by
I have tried numerous possibilities, and I still can’t seem to resolve what appears to be the final quality issue with the 3d printer. As you can see in the picture, I am getting gaps in the print at the start of the layer on the outer wall. It isn’t consistent by layer, but of…
A (mostly) successful print
My continuing efforts to 3d print and craft a set of dice boxes for our gaming group managed a bit more success yesterday, with a successful print in copper of the customized box top. I have been having quite a bit of challenge with the cutout on the lid, which is printed first – the…

In an effort to try to generate an active and valid Amazon associates account, it is necessary for me to drive 3 purchases thru Amazon, of products I provide links to. This in turn generates a small bit of income for my site, sharing a commission at no cost to the buyer with me. Admittedly,…
Assembly and painting for this weekend
Continuing to mass produce the tiles and bases, keeping the printer running non-stop. At this point, I have another big set ready for assembly, right as another batch of magnets arrived. Paint is ready to go as well, really the only piece I am missing now is more super glue. Should be enough to fill…
