Decided to run some DnD 4e for a change, so I printed a crapton of Dungeon Blocks and painted them up.
4e is such a fun system and playing around with dungeon lego was a highlight. I'm usually not one for props, but I'll probably print minis for the players next.
@rasterweb day 4 of my staycation, more #3DPrinting, baking banana bread, laundry, and I may attempt to organize the chaos table in the kitchen. Oh! And I get to meet with my tattoo artist for a design preview! That’s something more fun haha.
Couldn't find any super basic standing 10x15cm picture frames so I'm making my own. Also gives me the excuse to play around with Wood-PLA filament. :blahaj:

If you scroll Mastodon often enough, you'll find plenty of detailed examples of "the banality of evil."
But I think this may have topped them all.
Someone created a #3DPrinting of #LEGO bricks made with tiny spikes, so they're extra painful to step on.
This video pretty well shows how important good part cooling while printing is. The #BambuLab#X1C isn't that good doing this job. The #QIDI Q1 Pro does it way better.
I finished a new three color print today… contemplating doing a whole series of balls. Another relief print on handmade paper created with 3D printed printing plates.
My boss got sick of me bringing in prints from home off my Bambu Lab printer and comparing them to our Enders so he said “Fuck it!” and ordered two Bambu Lab printers for the office. #3DPrinting
#3Dprinting has revolutionized manufacturing in a variety of ways, and now researchers are learning how it can improve the performance of energetic materials – like explosives and rocket propellants
Yesterday was, at ten hours, my longest ever print. Just begun what, if it goes OK, will be my longest print at sixteen hours.
Will post updates as a thread so you can mute it easily 😉
(I also need to change that matt - I have another, but any tips for getting the old one off the glass?) #3dprinting
As I keep thinking about this... A few days ago I stumbled upon the micronics SLS 3D printer which they promise to deliver for 3k$. So far they've released two videos about the printer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLqSaEiXzIU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SupuCvfviWQ
While they videos are a bit janky and the machines are clearly still in early prototype level, this does look quite interesting. #3dprinting
New video from Micronics... They're surprisingly open about some details about their printer. Also, they're about as far with the development of a product as I thought they might be.

I'm proud to announce the first public release of #Thrixels, my system for #3DPrinting pixel art! After several months of work, I think it's finally ready to inflict on other people - please give it a go if you're interested, and let me know how you get on with it.
I placed some activated alumina dessicant in with my spool of Carbon Fiber Nylon a few hours ago, and yeah so far it is working far better than silica gel. We'll see where things are by the end of the weekend. I might finally be able to print.
Not shown, after taking the first photo, I barely had the Polybox open for a minute, when it shot up to 30% humidity. I imagine that recovered quicker than the other 4%.
Darn! The Polybox moisture levelled out instead of going lower. Overall the activated alumina is working better than silica gel, but it's clear I'm going to need to bake my carbon fiber nylon filament to get it low enough to print. I'm also going to have to see about a dehumidifier. #3DPrinting
I realized there were still some Silica Gel packets in the base of my Polybox. I pulled them and poured maybe 2 cups of raw activated alumina beads into the base (I got a huge bag of them off eBay). That should help, but I'm going to see what my options are for affordable heated moisture boxes that can hold a 3KG spool (or two). #3DPrinting
That's a really good idea! I saw this on Amazon, a little 3d printed canister for activated alumina that uses one of those round moisture sensors as a cap. I already have some of the metal Slice Engineering canisters, but I think I'm definitely going to make some of these at some point.
This doesn't solve my wide heated dryer box need, but I love the idea of socketing a combination dessicant and sensor into more sensitive filaments (like nylon and PC). #3DPrinting
