Once again a 3d printing display and demo with printers at work will be on hand at Hurricon held in Orlando, Florida last weekend in September. Many examples of plotted files will be on display so you can see first hand whether taking the plunge peeks your interest. We will be more than happy to share what experience we have….and eager to hear yours.
Ever wonder what the impact of 3d printing will be on your favorite hobby or how it will change the economics of wargaming. While the industry is replete with purveyors of all your war gaming needs the future is on the horizon where we might be making our own 3d files to print or purchasing one of the many Kickstarters….not to mention the growing number of files the community is sharing for free. With a $20 USD roll of filament you would be amazed at the number of items you can print.
Need to print up some terrain? Files for buildings, bridges, roads, rivers, redoubts, dungeons, fortifications… entire towns and trappings are available for every genre. Someone out there has a file for that obscure vehicle or variant you need for a one-off scenario you have always wanted to run. Figures for the most part will still need to be purchased as non-resin printers will not be able to match the quality you might demand.
Want to change scales? No easier than a few keystrokes on your free slicer program.
Need templates, counters and "organizers" to support your latest interest? Someone has most likely already provides those things…hosted in "Thingiverse." Can't find what you need?….put that computer savvy video game designing niece or nephew to work.
Please save the date… and stop on by!
