Thus ends my run of board game related 3D printing posts. But don’t worry, I’ll have more eventually. Maybe even very soon. I don’t report on every fix and repair I have to do on my printer these days. I like to report when things are “done” and I feel like I’m in the middle of a lot of repairs …
Pocket Imperium Part 3 – How it plays
Part 1. Part 2. Where you can download the ships. I do tend to get the cart before the horse at times and I focus more on the silly things like tiny little ship tokens and tuck boxes to store them in, but how does Pocket Imperium play, and how has playing it effected the making of it? Not actual gameplay. This …

New Ship Tokens
Download the new ship tokens on PinShape. I had such a great time making tiny ship tokens that would fit inside a 1cm square, that I decided to make a bunch more and refine the ones I already made. I drew inspiration from classic sci-fi, video games, Japanese anime, any my own imagination. I’ve had other projects like this where …
Pocket Imperium Part 2 – Lessons from a failed tuck box
Do not spoonerize that title. For those not familiar with the terminology, like me 2 weeks ago, a tuck box is just one of those boxes that holds cards, so called because you “tuck” the top in to keep it closed. Last time I designed some tiny ship tokens with the intent of using these tokens to play an 18 …
Printin’ and Playin’ Pocket Dungeon Quest part 2 – Big Honkin’ die
My last post is one of those that I kinda just want to leave there in hopes that more people will find it. If you haven’t read it, go do that, and share it with whoever you can because it came at considerable effort and, I feel, is going to change the way I approach 3D printing in the future. …

Want to get something 3D printed but don’t have a 3D printer? Have an idea you’d like to see made real? Seen something 3D printed and just got to have it?

How the other half lives
TL:DR If you don’t have a 3D printer, 3D printing is a lot harder than I thought it would be. A convergence of sorts occurred that motivated me to produce a print the way someone without a 3D printer would do it, and I have to say to anyone I poo-poohed the challenges of 3D printing without owning a 3D …
Another segment on 3D Printing Today
I’m a little bit behind, but there’s another segment of mine on 3D Printing Today episode 53, this one is about the seperate command in Blender, basically. For some reason the audio on this one sounded like I was phoning it in. No, seriously, it sounded like I was on a phone. not sure what was up with that. Maybe …
Printin’ and Playin’ Pocket Dungeon Quest part 1 – Coolest dice/box ever
I’ll admit that I backed Pocket Dungeon Quest because it nailed all the right buzzwords for me. “Roguelike”, “cooperative”, cheap “print and play option”. Sign me up for that print and play option right there. So when I got my pdf of the the game I printed it at my local print shop, cut out the pieces, and folded me …
