Whoops I seem to be hooked by this 3D printing malarkey….
I printed the Tiger 1 over night but the rest was today….

A sock ruler for my good Lady, A Hufflepuff crest for my eldest, a pile of markers for our One Ring RPG… I have left it printing 2 panzer 38t and a couple of MKIII.
I suppose the novelty will wear off soon.
The nice thing is all of the above STL files cost nothing. So quite a bargain.
The one thing I will do this week is credit the designers for everything, something I have meant to do but have forgotten so far. 😬
The white bit on the barrel of the Tiger is a mix of superglue and bicarbonate, sets like rock… some knacker tried knocking the barrel off. Tomorrow I may attempt to finish the Graveyard Scatter.
been printing for nearly a month, and the novelty hasn’t worn off, in fact I looking for things just to print! Looking good so far, glad you got the issues resolved!

Still at the paranoid stage, but things seemed improved. Longest print was my daughter’s HufflePuff crest that took over 4 hours.

Great to see you still enjoyiong it so much. How much do you reckon the, say, Tiger cost you to print?
Cheers,

That is very cheap- what about the electricity used? Does it add much to your utilities bill?
30p a 15mm tank… it’s really cheap.
Cheers,

Have you thought about printing a 3d printer then you could do twice as much? 😉

I certainly see the appeal of being able to magically summon miniatures!
