I recently tried to respond to a comment on this post by Tangible Day, but once again, there is a glitch in the Matrix. The comment in question is the first one on the post, made by Sandra McCall, and the response I tried to post is as follows: If by "creator," you are referring…
Crowdfunding a New Shop
As much as I'd like to buy a a brand-new ultra-high-resolution 3D printer and begin making wargaming miniatures in-house tomorrow, the Form 3 doesn't ship until July. Therefore, I have plenty of time to set up a new website for selling miniatures, perhaps an Etsy shop for selling jewellery, and maybe time for getting a…
Should I Open an Etsy Shop?
Short answer: yes. Why did I bring this up? Well, enough Shapeways shop owners were already using Etsy to sell their products (including one of my customers), but then Etsy changed their policy to squeeze out non-partner manufacturers, of which Shapeways was not one - until today. I'm not sure what I'm going to sell…
A Point or Two About 3D Printing – In Russia / Пункт или Два иро Трёхмерное Печатание – в России
As you may know, Shapeways is a fairly large company with designers and customers all over the world. As such, they ship to every country... except Russia. I suspect the reason is because, even though the company is based in New York City, it's actually chartered in The Netherlands, which is a member of the…
Third CAD Tutorial
I've just finished uploading my third CAD tutorial to BitChute! In this lesson, I show you how to make this: This is a Carthaginian quadrireme hull, minus any oars or masts. This particular design is based on the Marsala ship, which was discovered off the coast of Sicily in 1971. I had a request to…
My New 15mm Challenge
Relax, relax, this is a self-imposed challenge. See, I recently uploaded my 37th tank model in 6mm (1/285) scale, and I noticed that I have the exact same number of historical tanks in 15mm (1/100) scale as fictional tanks. Well, one of them (specifically, the Bolo Mk 33) isn't in 15mm scale, but it's the…
I’m on BitChute!
I've done it, I've FINALLY DONE IT! I've completed my first CAD tutorial, in which I discuss my construction of the SU-100Y over five videos spanning 3 and-a-half hours. Links are below to each of the parts. Part 1: https://www.bitchute.com/video/k1nwJyjzfeVN/ Part 2: https://www.bitchute.com/video/7QZF4cR77P2a/ Part 3: https://www.bitchute.com/video/UCWIqxAiYkvl/ Part 4: https://www.bitchute.com/video/8TNKUwAZCdLu/ Part 5: https://www.bitchute.com/video/QtbR45HWwb79/ I hope you…
Update on the Tank Collection and Database
I have been playing around with my tank database a lot today, organising it and dreaming up lots of projects to include, as well as sorting out the various requests I have yet to complete. Below is a screenshot of the tank collection as it currently is, however, this no longer includes everything. I have…
Oh Shapeways, I Love You, But You Vex Me
Remember my alto clef coffee mug? Well, you can't have it anymore, or at least not until I find another porcelain or ceramic 3D printing vendor, seeing as Shapeways isn't doing it anymore. At least for now. When I first started on the site, they offered several types of distinctly non-porcelain ceramic, but after problems…
The New Batch
After a few tweaks to some of my latest tank models, I got the updated models and took pictures. From top to bottom, the Tiger II, T-10, and Object 279. They all had to be fixed: the T-10's machine gun was falling off and the A model main gun (with the fume extractor) was completely…
