3d printing   Leave a comment

3d printing has taken over all of my hobby time . What with actual printing FDM or resin . Fixing and maintaining said printers . The resin printer is very tricky and messy but produces great figures when it feels like working.

Then whatever is printed needs to be painted and based !

Last week I printed a plinth for a statue and a marder 3 tank . Before that I printed and painted up quite a few Germans do we could play the chain of command scenarios in the campaign book . So I painted up several machine guns and crews plus a squad of volksgrenadiers as well as some snipers , officers, a medic and assorted tokens for the patrol phase .

Also some buildings for fantasy gaming such as an orcish slaughterhouse a dwarven building and grand entrance way .

The big issue is getting to be where to store this stuff. I have loads of great buildings and figures that I would like to print but especially with the buildings am holding back because I have no space to keep them safe . I have lots of orcish and Rohan style files that I could print but would need to learn how to cut neatly do as to fit on my plate . Also World War Two buildings .

Obviously these are great none problems to have of course !
