Undermountain Dungeon – Print 2
We’re building another dungeon, this time the Undermountain. The Undermountain is a series of tunnels and rooms that once belonged to a dwarven stronghold, but have been taken over by an ancient wyrm and its devout goblin worshipers.

A token to celebrate 1km of printed filament. Granted, I’m a few hundred meters beyond 1km at this point, but still.
