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. …
3D printing without a 3D printer on a budget
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? If you go to services like shapeways or sculpto you might have gotten a serious sticker shock. But don’t give up, there is an alternative. Recent adventures (featuring Rodney …
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 …
Province. Sometimes giving up is the right answer
A while back I tried my hand at making a storage solution/playing surface for the micro game Province. My goal was to make something travel size but that you could play the game on and what I game up with was only marginally successful on both counts. The resultant board was too big to carry in any pocket but a …
Pocket Imperium Part 1. Huh, that worked
Sorry for the relative silence the past few weeks. I’ve had things I’m working on, but nothing in a finished, reportable state. I’ve also been having troubles with my printer (as usual) and I’m waiting until I fix them to report on that. However I’m getting a cascade of projects finishing up all at once, so this week expect at …
Hard Case for Coin Age
I may have an unhealthy obsession with Adam P. McIver’s Coin Age. First I came up with some 3D printed coins, because using quarters, nickles, pennies and dimes was too confusing for me, and the paper ones weren’t available. of course those coins needed a chest to carry them in..And now… I had the bright idea to make a little …
Black gear skull on a big-boy 3D printer
A while back I printed gear skull and it’s been sitting on my desk at work for a while. At work they decided to use the same print to show off their fancy Stratasys 3D printer, only they made theirs in black. And wouldn’t you know it, the parts are interchangeable. It shouldn’t be a surprise considering they used the …
