The Loose Association of Wargamers

#1 son is currently eyeing up a 3D-P, but he has just moved into a new flat and wants to install it in a large walk-in cupboard with no external openings (ie windows), one internal door, and zero ventilation. The Baroness and I are currently trying to persuade our child genius that he will become very unwell with this set-up.

Plans for an empire of 3d printing currently on hold while I figure out why it didn't adhere to the build platform...

Could be the initial exposure time for the first few layers?

That's one of the possibilities, I've changed that and put it back in for another go. Fingers crossed. Thanks for the help. I'm a complete tyro at this 3d stuff so all assistance gratefully received.

As my Mars has yet to be used in anger due to problems getting a decent place to use it, anything I know is currently purely theoretical

Well - my second go failed as well. So it's back to re-levelling, and trying a different print. Fingers crossed again...

This is why I am happy to pay people to print!

I tend to agree. I’ve been thinking for a year now about getting one, and most of my mates have one and rave about it. But it’s a hobby all in itself and I suspect will steal time for painting and gaming which is already at a premium. Not to mention printing stuff that just adds to the plastic pile.

I might give in one day. Who knows

I agree with Jeremy

Yep I really did just say that

So what’s on the braai today Simon? It’s a slippery slope...
