We’re planning to build a “Tiny Home Theater” setup in our basement over the holiday, so while taking some measurements and drafting up some possibilities in Autodesk Inventor, I decided to take advantage of our 3D Printer and make a Continue reading 3D Printed Home Theater Basement Model
A buddy of mine from the Star Citizen community was about to pay a visit to Ilfonic Studios, the team that is behind a lot of the FPS gameplay mechanics for the game, and we wanted to send them a Continue reading 3D Printed Star Citizen Caterpillar and Cutlass Spaceship Plaque
As part of a small gift package I sent to the Star Citizen community team at CIG, I took one of the small Drake Caterpillar models that the boys and I created in Autodesk Inventor and 3D printed a cool Continue reading 3D Printed Star Citizen Caterpillar Plaque for CIG
My youngest is a big fan of the 5 Nights at Freddy’s games. Fun little “scary” arcade style game where you play the role of a newly hired manager of a kid’s pizza and arcade center like the old Chuck-E-Cheese Continue reading 3D Printed 5 Nights at Freddy’s Model

Here’s my first attempt at 3D printing a large Star Citizen space ship. In this case it’s an RSI Aurora. Didn’t come out too pretty and took a lot of cleanup even though I sliced it up nicely before printing. Continue reading 3D Printed Star Citizen Aurora Spaceship Model
It’s good having a brother who’s smarter than me sometimes. Particularly when it comes to electronics. He made some very nice upgrades to the 3D printer, including a glass-covered print bed for easier model extractions and an improved print head. Continue reading Solidoodle 3D Printer Upgrades

Here’s a painted printed creeper. The filament takes paint much better than we thought. We’re just using standard water-based hobby store paint… so there’s plenty of options on the cheap out there.
We finally got the solidoodle up and running. Ran into some minor scaling issues with the software making it very difficult to download models and print them correctly. Sometimes they were too big or printed out much to small. About Continue reading Solidoodle 3D Printer First Print
