Finishing Chocobos

With some long prints running, and the house low energy (as everyone is sick, but so be it), I had a chance to finish up a few Chocobos. The three Chocobos at various stages of painting: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dwyer Devices (@dwyerdevices) And two finished Chocobos: View this post on…

Bestiary – Goblins

For the adventure through the sewers we’d been using cardboard tokens for Goblins. Earlier attempts to print goblins (sliced with Slic3r) failed spectacularly, but I wanted to try again slicing with Cura to see if we couldn’t get something that worked. It was a success: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dwyer Devices (@dwyerdevices)…

Bestiary – Bulette

Minions of a dangerous foe have a captive Bulette barely contained in a cage deep in the Undermountain. Nearly berserk with rage, the Bulette is likely as dangerous to the captors as to the adventurers. Post print this model was relative easy to clean up, with support material holding up the bulk of the body: View this post…

The table is modeled after our dining room table: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dwyer Devices (@dwyerdevices) The…

Cleaning up printed sections took a fair amount of effort, as did filing down the wing joints to properly attach…

Glowing Moon

I’ve seen a lot of 3D printed glowing moons for sale on various Etsy shops, and all over Instagram, and wanted to print one for the 10 year old for Christmas. After a few failed moon prints I finally found a design that would work. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dwyer Devices (@dwyerdevices) Pre-scaled…

High Detail Printing – Great Buddha

The Scan the World collection on MyMiniFactory has some great pieces spanning world history. For a number of reasons, this scan of the Great Buddha at Kamakura caught my eye.

Dragon/Snake Bracelet

A simple braided bracelet with a dragon/snake motif, printed in Red Copper PLA. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Dwyer Devices (@dwyerdevices) I’ve seen the design variously referred to as Celtic, Nordic, Viking, or Asian influenced, depending on who printed the bracelet or wrote about the design. The bracelet required a fair…
