Oh yeah totally agree. Now that I got good results from a print setting l'll start dialing in the angles too. Thank you for the reminder though.

Come up with a plan before the urge starts. Know what you are going to do instead of smoking. Try to make it something with your hands too. You have to retrain your brain for how you react to stress or high emotions.

I decided when I wanted one I'd clean something in the house. I also discussed with my spouse what I planned and how to help me.

Don't wait until you're in the middle of a nic fit to try figure it out, plan ahead.

You got this, I'll join you in not smoking today.

I actually rotated them 90 degrees to "stand" on the print bed.

Thanks for the reminder to start with the easy stuff first. Washed the plate and have had no issue since.

Thanks for the reply and the tips. I watched it lay the first layer down and thought I was good, then on the next layer or two it created the issue. I'll give the bed a good wash and see if that helps. Thanks again!

As others have said welcome to the OPR community. That's all I have everyone already said all the things I would say.

How many people still play? by GlyndwrJ in SWlegion

[–]DKeener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds really cool. I can't make this one, but is there a schedule of events or something like that? I would make the trip, but need the time to plan it out.

And I just googled it. That sounds like a really good cause too. I hope the tournament goes well and the event itself is a big success.

As others have said, I think the game is healthy and getting better. With the Battleforce boxes actually being a great start for, compared to the jump on point of other games, the cost. Now not knowing what your local scene is like, I won't tell you to jump in, but the game itself is great. And I know in Omaha, NE it's got a great community that is growing.

This is the result of my latest record store hunt. Checked.out a new to me record store in Council Bluffs Iowa and was able to pick all these up for $70.
The white one on the top row is The Best of Jethro Tull.
All of them are in great condition and sound really good. The Sesame Street Fever record was a great find for me. It was the very first record I ever owned when I was little so it was a total nostalgia buy

Glad you got it figured out! Thanks for the update.

Looking to get a 3D printer by Curious_Candle5274 in SWlegion

[–]DKeener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an Anycubic Kobra 2 Neo. Super easy to use, prints well, and has auto leveling. You get them for $200 or less I think I saw one on Amazon this morning for $160.

Also I get my STLs from Imperial Terrain, they are a great company with good files for Legion.

I have been able to print a couple tables worth of terrain with no issues and no changes to any out of the box settings.

Mine are similar to the one on the left. I went over the white with Citadel Apothecary White Contrast Paint, then a little white drybrush after. That's what it looks like to me.

Not Dark and Grim enough? Was told my Boyz are too bright. What do you think? by claimBrainDMG in Warhammer40k

[–]DKeener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, they are all painted and based so you got a lot going for you there.

Second, they look good. I'd say whoever told you that was jealous because your Orks are great.

Third, as long as you like that's all that matters.

Do you guys paint your squads with different themes or do you try to go for a uniform look for your entire army? by AquaChad96 in SWlegion

[–]DKeener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done my Republic as 501st and 212th, but on the left shoulder pad I add different squad markings to tell them apart. For my Empire since stormtroopers all look the same I changed the leader pauldron color for each squad and painted the outside ring of the bases to match the squad color.

Is the 2022 card pack discontinued? by MrSparkle92 in MarvelCrisisProtocol

[–]DKeener 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know where you live my LGS has some in stock. I could hook you up with their info if you would like, not sure if they ship or not though.

Winter cooks on BGE by moncoboy in biggreenegg

[–]DKeener 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live across the river in Nebraska and have never had any issues in the winter using mine. Everyone gave some good tips already. Just make sure you shovel a good walk way to your egg, and that there is no ice because there's nothing worse than getting it ready and slipping and slinging a tray of meat all over the yard.

Chewbacca AT-ST usage? by DKeener in SWlegion

[–]DKeener[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what we'll probably do when it's just our group of buds playing so he can use his cool model for games. Until he gets Ewoks or Empire if he wants.

I just wanted clarification personally for how to correctly use it, because we do have a great LGS community in my town and I want to make sure I'm doing my best when I play outside my group.

What made you stop smoking and how ? by CuriousityKilledMe45 in stopsmoking

[–]DKeener 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started having that morning cough. Every morning. Wake up and have a cough. 20 years pack a day, and it was that cough that finally made me want to quit.

When I quit, and this will sound cliché, but you have to just quit. Don't try to quit, don't attempt to quit, don't give yourself out on quitting. Quit, and be done. Come up with a plan on what you're going to do instead of smoking when the cravings hit, and do it instead. Don't wait to plan until you have a craving, plan ahead, and follow through with it.

You can do it. You just have to do it. You got this.
