3 new techniques! I'm so happy to be back crafting again :) Dirt tiles update 4

Hi Guys!

Massive update video here covering not only most of what I've been working on/will be working on (all crafted) but also letting you all know the focus of the channel is and always will be crafting.

3d printing has taken more time than I'm happy with, and I'll be doing what I can to reset the balance as soon as I can - starting this week which will be 100% crafting...which I am looking forward to so much!

I recommend watching this one in the background or with a ...

More stuff! Holiday thank you throwback poll - for questgivers too :)

Hi guys,

While I finish up some crafting stuff to show you guys the things coming in the next video, I thought I'd thank everyone for their patience while I was on my annual holiday with a bonus throwback 🙂

This is on top of this month's throwback, and will drop in your library at the start of next month when the poll is done. Multiple choice SHOULD be enabled, but vote for your favourite first just in case 😄

It's also a throwback for Questgivers (you'll get the no...

Mini update - back to crafting!

Just so you guys know, I'm working on crafting stuff right now and have quite a few cool updates on the dirt tiles video, which will now be the dirt and grass tiles update video :)

Very exited but more to test before showing it off, just wanted to let everyone know it's being worked on!

Fabio is still on STL duty, I've rediverted time to crafting while he's busy and I have the chance, long term I really want to get back to more crafting than 3d printing, that is the goal!

Two new releases finished and uploaded!

Hi Guys!

As promised, two more releases are ready for anyone who supported in November or December! If you're newer here you can either wait for these to drop in as a throwback (recommended) or pick them up on MMF if you really want them sooner (with the 50% discount if you've been supporting for 3+ months)

There are 4 more packs in the works with Fabio right now, plus when I get the...

January Campsite release ready :)

Hi Guys!

January supporters should now have access to this campsite release, a lot easier than making little tents all by hand 😄

Magnet options are in the description of the files on MMF, and as usual if you weren't supporting in January you can either wait for this to roll around as a monthly throwback, or pick it up on MMF (I recommend waiting for your 3 month 50% patron discou...

Floor tile STL magnetisation guide

Hi guys,

Just the magnetisation guide for the floor tiles, including some thoughts on crafting these from foam if you were so inclined :)

More STL previews - dirt tiles update 3!

Hi Guys,

Another preview update video, we're making a lot of progress getting caught up, pretty soon I'm hoping to be ahead, then we can settle back into focusing more on proper videos :)

Farm STL Magnetisation guide

Hi guys,

just a quick little video showing off where the magnets etc go on the farm release pieces :)

Update video also coming soon!

Quick Poll about MMF notifications

Hi Guys,

Just thought I'd check as I've been somewhat torn on the matter - do you guys appreciate the monthly heads up in your email that your files have been shared on MMF, or would you prefer not?

Just so I can get a feel for community mood and send/not sent notifications accordingly...

Sept/Oct 23 Releases Finished! Farm scatter and printable floor tiles :)

Hi guys!

As promised, here are 2/5 of the 'almost finished' releases, anyone who was a patron in September 23 will get the September release, and anyone who was here in October 23 will get the October release - there will of course also be throwbacks on top of this when they come around, and they are now on the MMF page where you can grab them with the 50% patreon discount for 3+ mont...

Lab STL release updated with round tables and new shelves!

Hi guys,

Today should be a day of updates and releases! First up, I've added the new round tables with lab specific tabletops, and the new wall shelves, and the new shelf with backboard (much easier to assemble!) to the Lab release itself, so if you have that old release you just got new stuff :)

STL Modular Shelf Tutorial

Hi Guys!

Finally got this sorted, I ended up needing to reprint some pieces to do this with as my first ones got lost...somewhere!

As for the other STL packs we have 5 packs very close to completion, we're aiming to get those released this month for everyone who was supporting during those months (sept-jan)

I've also been working more on the dirt tile indenting stamps 'making mistakes so you don't have to' lets just say! More on that when I have more data, ideally I'll be...

More STL and dirt tile previews! Dirt tiles update video 2

Hi guys!

Another update video for you today, feel free to skip ahead to see the STLs :)

Getting on with more test printing today, we have 3 releases that are borderline ready to go!

Bonus Throwbacks for Dec/Jan/Feb! Because I messed up dates 😅

Hi Guys,

The February Throwback (Lab, pictured) is now shared on MMF, and when doing so I noticed something - I've been sharing the throwback to the month AFTER the vote instead of the month OF the vote for the past few months 😅

SO, to undo my little booboo, I've left those accidental throwbacks as is, and added the throwbacks you should have had in those months!

Basically if you supported in those months you just got a free throwback 😄

The March throwback i...

Pipe Accessory Tutorial

Hi Guys,

Just the tutorial on how to use the Pipe STLs here, and why I did them as STLs not crafted :) You CAN do them crafted as I mention, but it's just a lot more time consuming and I didnt have the time to do it!

Lab tutorial coming soon, I just have something to finalise for it :)

Preview of new STLs, and a look at the new magnetic dirt tiles! Dirt tiles update video 1

Hi guys!

A long overdue update video here, which was intended to be short but I ended up showing off new STLs for like, half a hour!

So yeah, hopefully nice background while you craft or something 😂

Tutorials for the pipes and lab tables/shelves are ready and just need editing too! Coming soon.

STL clarification for those who think something has been removed - it hasnt :)

The monthly STL releases still are shared with patrons for the months they support in.

So november supporters will get the november pack, plus whatever the throwback was in november, plus the welcome pack.

The new MMF store thing is just if people want to access specific stuff sooner than they would get from a throwback :)

We ARE also behind on our monthly releases currently but catching up rapidly (2 releases a month currently) - those late releases are shared with patron...

STL Access update - new ways to get the STL packs!

Hi guys!

So I wanted to have a quick chat about the STLs. I've been aiming to improve their availability for a while, but new videos and catching up with STL releases were my top priority because I really wanted to deliver for you guys, especially during/after my medical setbacks.

As you probably know, I provide 'catchup' for the STLs that Fabio and I create for the system through throwbacks - so you guys could vote for the pack that you wanted the most.

I wanted th...

Double Release! Finally finished the Modular pipes, interior doors and door stamps :)

Hi Guys!

As I mentioned I've been hard at work on catch up with the STL releases, getting a little magnetisation of dirt tiles for the bonus video done in any time where I can't make STL progress 😅

But it's paying off! The Modular pipe releases are both now complete and available on MMF to those who were patrons in July/august, and will be in the next throwback poll for newer patrons :)

A tutorial video on how to use these (or ideas for crafting rather than p...

Early Access: How I 3D print in the cold and minimise failures.

Hi Guys!

The 3d printing insulation video is ready! It references both the brewing belt method and my own methods for keeping prints at a good temperature for printing.

I've yet to sort out the pinned comment etc, but I wanted to upload for you guys as it's a question I get asked a lot so I'm hoping it'll be useful!

Also, thoughts on a thumbnail? I forgot to take one so its either an image of the inside of the new insulation box, or I leave it with the goofy pic of me as ...

Video is with the editor! 3D printing insulation update 1

Hi Guys!

Just a quick update while I had the talking head setup all out, I've been busy plugging away at reorganising and updating my workspace, as well as getting this next video ready for the editor :)

The big goal now is to beat my 3D printers into submission, as they have become...tempermental - not great for test prints!

Once they're all functioning I'm hoping to up the speed I can test print at, fingers crossed...

Early Access: Diagonal Wall Video!

Hi Guys!

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas (or seasonal holiday of your preference)!

I'm burning by way through the to-do list I have left over from last year and that has built up over the period, part of which is finally getting this video uploaded! The jigs mentioned are also attached :)

Liam did a great first job editing it, we've had to do a bit of back and forth with him getting used to my process, but I'm happy with the final result, I think it still feels like ...

Christmas Update - Diagonal Update Video 3!

Hi Guys!

I wanted this update to be me releasing the diagonal tiles video, and though it is completely ready, I can't actually do that right now, frustratingly! Why is explained in more detail above :)

There is good news though, we have two videos that are complete or near complete, 4 STL releases that are half or very near complete, and I managed to make my workspace more efficient for next year on top, so with any luck, I can increase my pace a little (he says, blind to the in...

May/June Releases ready! Will be in the next throwback poll :)

Hi guys!

We've finally finished the test prints of some of the releases we've been working on, the modular tables and shelves of the laborator, and the marketplace scatter set!

just to be clear, these have been shared with anyone who was supporting in those months, and will be in next months throwback poll for newer people!

The marketplace is very straightforwards, the lab is a LITTLE more complex and comes with jigs to assemble the modular shelving. There WILL be a tutor...

November throwback shared now on MMF :)

Hi guys, 

Just a heads up, the November throwback that won the noble patron poll is now uploaded for you all, and the new noble patron poll for December is live now :)

And with that, I'm going back to recording in the frigid garage :D

Diagonal update video 2 - Getting an editor and upcoming 3d printing insulation video!

Hi Guys!

Just managed to get this done at the end there today, just a general update on how things are going, what's coming up and what I've been doing since I came back from holiday :)

Enjoy my rambling, if that's your thing 😅

I'm Back :)

Hey Guys!

Just a heads up, I am now back from my holiday, I've updated MMF access for people and I'm working with fabio on STL designs, replying to messages and generally catching up :)

I did manage to catch flu on saturday, so that was a fun holiday-ender/way to come back to work 😄 but that aside, I am feeling more refreshed :) Gonna wait a few days to record talking head to make sure I don't look a state though 😂

Plenty more coming soon, including hopefully a big ...

Update - I'm taking that holiday I keep putting off...

Hi Guys,

First things first, here's some shiny pics of the upcoming diagonal walls project, I'm very happy with how they came out and can't wait to share the video with you all!

As some of you might be aware I am terrible at taking time off, and I continued to push ahead with this project despite being heavily burnt out by the sewer videos. I thought I could get a small video like this out before I planned to take a recovery holiday over my birthday.

Well, last weekend my...

Questgiver Welcome Pack

Just so new people dont have to wait for the MMF manual upload for the always available stuff, the welcome pack I'm aiming to keep uploaded here :)

Diagonal Tiles update 1 - STL previews and castle visit inspiration!

Hi Guys,

Got this update done before I released the public video but ended up with a stomach bug before I could post it 😂

Big update on upcoming STLs and the upcoming video, as well as some inspiration from a castle visit I went on at a weekend - let me know what you all think of that at the end there, I'd love to know if it's worth doing on future historical site/forest etc visits for D&D/terrain inspiration, or general curiosity :)

Almost finished the crafting o...
