Topic: Jrnyfan's Custom Plastic Diorama Playsets

One reason I like this place is seeing folks willing to help other folks if they have problems. Bravo Dark Knight 4516.

I am hoping in the near future to get a group of folks together for a round table on 3D Printing and hope I can convince you, Casey from GM, and Jrny Fan into just getting together to shoot the bull about the trials and tribulations of working in this medium.

You guys have already been such a boon to even helping folks get started and I really appreciate all of you taking the time to share.

You guys are pioneers.

Sjefke I used the same term on our podcast with Brian as a matter of fact. I so agree!

Had to get that picture of the new canon on the front page too. That looks great Jrny Fan!

I've looked through the posts here and can find what printer you are using, mind sharing (I am very seriously considering buying one)?  Amazing prints by the way.

[jrnyfan]

I don't know if pioneer is the right term -- more like mad Star Wars scientist?!

Had fun on the podcast!!

My printer, C3-DO, is a Printrbot Simple metal. I purchased the assembled version -- for such an intricate thing, I didn't want to take the chances of something going wrong during assembly. Do some reading / YouTube viewing about setting to use in Slicer software. I really have to say this thing has been super easy to use and start getting some decent results. It can only get better the more I refine the process.

Finished the weekend with a light panel print...

[Clonehead]

The panels look great! That ds gun is sweet!

[Tamer]

Wow, that light panel looks perfect. More comments on the front page.

Good luck with that, it seems the GM guys don't like talking to anyone these days.

Very nice work!!  I've been so wrapped up in our projects that I've been forgetting to keep an eye on yours here!  I also jumped in on your FB page.  We're considering adding a 3D printer in the not-terribly-distant future, as well.  (At least one.)  So, I'm interested in your trials and travails with yours from a professional standpoint.

Always a pleasure watching your creations come to life.

Wow, you are really getting there. So close now.

Back to the front page.

Nice, I see the detention block escape on the left, is that the deathsquad commander pit in the upper right? Also was wondering if you're basing the dio off the old Palitoy Deathstar toy?

[customjedi]

It never ceases to amaze me what you can get that InstaMorph to do. Another great playset well on its' way!

[jrnyfan]

While I'm not specifically going for the Palitoy Death Star (I didn't know it existed until the early 90s), it can't help but parallel it from the circular design.

Fit test for the detention walls. Also designed a circular computer unit - it's printing right now. WIll be interesting to see how it compares to the Instamorph versions I made for the throne room.

[Tamer]

hand version vs. printed version. It will be an interesting test.

Your latest update is back to the front page. You just have to smile whenever you walk by this now.

After your successes with 3d printing it has me wondering if you plan to revisit any set pieces from your other play-sets?
