My uncle gave me 2 boxes of paint and glue today. This is all going to be organized and checked for dry paint / glue. Needless to say I am incredibly giddy with excitement at all these supplies haha. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #paint
Paint, paint and more paint. Some are brand new and some are open. Most are barely used. Look at all this paint! Bottles of scenic cement and epoxy putty. Never used scenic cement before but I'll definitely try it now haha. Paint, paint and more paint. Some are brand new and some are open. Most are barely used. Look at all this paint!

I saw this really cool star wars ewok village made with trees and random bits and decided to make something similar. I want a raised tree village with ladders, shops and more! Excited to start this project! #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #3dprinting
Branches that I scavenged from my local park. They are the perfect diameter for what I am going for. Branches that I scavenged from my local park. They are the perfect diameter for what I am going for. Here are some of the 3dprinted parts. These slide onto the branches and create a deck. Some have openings for ladders and others don't. I am going to have bridges and so much more connecting all of these together.

Some garden beds and more stone pillars. Stella is going to make all the vegetables for garden beds along with some ivy for the pillars. I always love collaborative projects. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #3dprinting #painting
Garden beds of various sizes. All of them have been painted and have coffee grounds as dirt. Large Garden bed. Painted and have coffee grounds as dirt. Stone pillars with flocking.

Working on some more books and bookshelves. Decided to do some different colors and I like these so much better than my old ones. I needed a lot more of these because we are working on having a library done soon! #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #3dprinting #painting
3dprinted books in various colors and piles. These are for scatter terrain for tables, shelves, floors and so much more. A bunch of bookshelves filled with books and some with potions! These shelves are much more colorful and look fantastic in my opinion. A bunch of bookshelves filled with books and some with potions!

We have been kind of silent lately. Had some personal stuff going on and haven't been able to post a lot, but we have still been working on stuff and trying to still take plenty of photos and videos. We should hopefully get back to a regular posting schedule soon #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #3dprinting
Huge lot of 3dprinted projects. Bookshelves, stools, end tables, books, miner equipment, and so much more!

I'm painting A LOT of "wood grain" today. Some older projects and some new projects. Figured I would just do them all at the same time. Efficient but tedious.... Remind me to do something with more color next time. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #3dprinting #painting
A bunch of 3dmodels I have made. All have wood grain that need to be painted. Lantern posts, garden beds, beds, end tables and a desk oh my! A bunch of 3dmodels I have made.

My construct is complete and on their base! Now I just need to finish painting. I just threw on the black coat over everything that needed it. Zoey even modeled for a photo to show the scale of it! #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg
My construct made from an old VCR and random electronic parts. Next to them is Zoey and two of our other characters that Stella has made. Look at my construct! They are made of pure metal and plastic! Close up on the base. Everything needs to be painted after this base coat. Close up of the backside. Just needs a few coats of paint after the base coat dries.

We are moving / doing maintenance on our 3dprinters. We had them downstairs, but decided to move them into the new DND room. Now everything but my CR10 is up and working. A heated bed issue needs some soldering. #dnd #dungeonsandragons #ttrpg #3dprinting
3 of my ender 3 printers. Two have been upgraded with a direct drive extruder. This printer has been giving me nothing but issues for months. It's getting a direct drive upgrade, the bed is warped a bit so the z stop needs to be moved and the magnetic print bed is damaged so I'm going back to the default bed. This one is all nice and calibrated. Currently printing my direct drive upgrade for the one on the left My main printer I use for TPU. It already has a direct drive upgrade and loves to randomly give issues.

My son is very large and needs a large base. Thinking of something like this but with tons of "electronic junk" on the base. Thoughts? #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg
Junk construct needs his base. He is held together with metal, electronic scraps, hot glue and dream. Junk construct needs his base. He is held together with metal, electronic scraps, hot glue and dream.

This is my first time ever doing something like this. I'm quite happy with how it's coming out. I was going for a mech / construct look and I think it is definitely starting to take shape. It needs a bit more detail and then it needs to be painted. What do you think? #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg
Front view of my little kitbash construct. They need a bit more detailing and some paint but they are looking quite good so far. Side view of my little kitbash construct.

I had this VCR that was destroyed during shipping so I decided to harvest it for parts. I am going to make a mech for Stella's #dnd campaign. I have a good base so far but I need some more parts. #ttrg #dungeonsanddragons
Various pieces of the VHS player after I harvested it for parts. I have some leg parts, the cockpit, feet and some other random parts so far.

Here are the dirt and dead grass tiles I have been working on with the newly painted rocks. After everything I can say used coffee grounds work great and pre painting the tiny rocks saved so much time. Zoey is inspecting my work in the back. I got 3 legs up. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #3dprinting
3dprinted dirt path tiles. This time with coffee grounds as the dirt. Works quite well and smells great! 3dprinted dirt path tiles. This time with coffee grounds as the dirt.

Update on the rocks. Paint thinned down with a bit of water works quite well. Use a hairdryer to speed up the drying time. This entire container of rocks was done in 20 minutes. Still need some dry brushing and highlights, but this saved so much time. #dnd #ttrpg #painting #dungeonsanddragons

Trying out a new method to paint these tiny dollar store rocks. It's a bit messy but you can paint tons of these at once. Zoey is sleeping at the moment so I could take these photos uninterrupted. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #painting

It's Stella's birthday today! We are playing DND all day today. Starting off right in an encounter with 8 cultists represented by slimes! #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg
DND all day! Our party has encountered some cultists that we have been having a problem with for some time now. Surrounded in a small building they portaled in and caught us off guard.

Going a bit crazy over here. I haven't been able to print a figure that I was able to few times before, but I was able to print this no problem. It keeps sticking to the FEB in the Vat so I replaced it and leveled the bed and only half the print stuck to the bed.... #dnd #3dprinting #ttrpg
A successful print of some gems that I use for my DND table. I have no idea why these printed but my other file didn't that I have printed multiple times......

We have been saving coffee grounds in the inn for a few months now. We figured why not try them out for dirt like in these tiles below. Definitely needs some paint / rocks. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg
Coffee grounds as dirt for 3dprinted dirt path terrain tiles. More full dirt tiles. Dirt paths with grass edges. Grass still needs to be done along with the paint for the dirt.

We had a bit of an issue today. Print failure turned into a resin spill....cleaned up, recalibrated and printing again. Now we keep our fingers crossed that my sacrifice to the craft gods was enough. At least the counter is extra clean....... #dnd #dugenonsanddragons #ttrpg #3dprinting
Resin printer just cleaned, calibrated, and ready to retry the print. Fingers crossed. Just a clean countertop. You know what not just a clean countertop, an extremely clean countertop. This thing looks almost brand new now. It's practically pristine.......from where all the resin poured all over and made a huge mess.

We have some new family here at the Pug Tail Inn. Meet Arachne and Zovollid. Arachne is burrowed at the moment, but Zovollid is relaxing in their new home. I don't want to disturb them so these are the best photos I can get at the moment. #spider
Tarantula habitats. Homemade habitats made out of plastic bins with coconut fiber a water dish and bark for them to hide under. Zovollid's habitat. They love their new burrow and enjoy hanging out on top of the bark. Arachne's habitat. They love their burrow, but love exploring just as much. They have been making their new burrow deeper since they have more room in their new home.

I was cleaning out one of the rooms in the inn and came across these.....I'll have to talk to Zoey about this, but how did she manage to hide all this. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #spider

Working at an inn has its perks sometimes. You gather quite the bit of waste yes, but you can repurpose it into new things. Like these bottle caps here. Find one with a pattern you like and you can use these for fey seating, a small pathway or even a tabletop. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg
Bottle caps with a cool pattern. I believe it's Nantucket brewers. Got these from an old job and saved them to repurpose them into crafts. Bottle caps with a cool pattern. I believe it's Nantucket brewers. Got these from an old job and saved them to repurpose them into crafts. Hundreds and hundreds of bottle caps. Got all these working at a restaurant awhile back. Figured I could use them for something eventually and hoarded quite the lot of them haha.
