  • Revisiting the Tower again

    In my ongoing effort to 3d print terrain for gaming, I am continuing to evolve the previous tower project. I was able to print all of the files, enough to assemble a piece-meal tower with component parts – all of which fit well and had good quality. That was shortly before the holidays, and my…

  • Printer corrections

    Since I received, built, and have been using my new 3d printer, one of the challenges it has faced is the reliability of the filament sensor. Admittedly, this is one of the big selling points for the Prusa i3 MK3s – the filament sensor auto-detects filament and can pause a print when it runs out,…

  • Norm, the goblin rogue

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…
