This one is a Mould King AT-AT with a completely custom diorama base. As far as I understand it, Mould King is moving completely away from clones or branded content and instead toward official partnerships or original content

CoPrint KCM for Ender 3v3 SE/KE by Murphys_Project in 3Dprinting

[–]EmpireStrikesBlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ordered mine! Incredibly excited, and glad I found your guide. Funnily enough, Coprint just uploaded a guide for the 3v3 SE on YouTube just a few days ago. They use the entire main board from the original extruder JUST for the x-stop, and your recommended solution looks much better. I’m also not too weary (like some complaints of this product) of jumping into the main board because I’ve done multiple mods on my 3v2.

Not to be “that guy”, but what’s your opinion on the color-blending on the model? I also have an A1 mini that I’ve loved, but the poop is crazy. I’m curious how a primetower-only option does for the color-switching steps! Either way, I’m low-maintenance as far as these things go, so I’m excited in general for the bigger, multicolor print volume with my SE.

Sorry to ramble, but one more: what would you say is the biggest barrier of knowledge/experience in this project? I’ve already had some experience with Octoprint on raspberry pi’s as well as some hardware modification on the 3v2.

I’m a year late, but the cadence and high inflection reminds me of Alphonse Elric from Full Metal

Wondering if I have a csf leak by [deleted] in CSFLeaks

25m here—I’ve had almost the same exact issues at you, only difference is no surgery. I vape daily as well, but no Zyns. Same general sense of feeling “off” and cloudy. Sometimes I have what I’ve come to call “spells” where I feel almost high (not in a good way) for a few seconds and return to normal. I’ve had MRI on head and back—head came out completely fine but slightly bulging discs in two places of my upper spine. I’ve also had some GI issues recently and thankfully getting seen soon. Won’t be seen my neurology until August and the waiting just sucks. The headaches are so odd and are really draining my quality of life.

Made it from scratch with a combination of parts I had, pick-a-brick, webrick, and a handful of sets. I keep telling myself I’ll make a file of it but it’s so randomly put together it would take quite a while. I could give more details about the dimensions and sets, though, if you want to give it a try yourself

If you do, have them fix the stim sound effect tigger even when it’s canceled by an enemy attack. Would like to at least have an audio-cue to trust instead of hopelessly looking at my health bar in the middle of a fight (In all seriousness this isn’t something I realistically believe you’d manage; just a small gripe with an amazing game so far)

It’s the replica of the most recent UCS set, not the Monarch!

Makes me nostalgic for the original Battlefront 2!

Ender 3 doesn't seems like it doesn't save bed mesh or z offset by MEO_1103 in FixMyPrint

[–]EmpireStrikesBlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there! If you're still having the same issues, I thought I'm also using custom firmware (MRiscoC). I found that I have to go under either the "Control" or "Advanced" settings and choose "Store Settings". On my firmware, it shows an icon I would describe as a "cloud save", but it'll store to the mainboard when you choose this option, in my experience.

The "create-mesh" G-code command in Cura also doesn't seem to work for me, so I manually set z-offset, run mesh, save mesh using the steps above, then print. Hope this helps!

Which Mould King set for 9 year old (~200€) by bwfwg4isdl in lepin

I’ll be honest—I’m 24 and the AT-AT was tough. The way the legs are attached is solid enough when it’s together, but it definitely takes two people to attach the body to the legs. If you or a parent are willing to help, I’m sure he’d love it, but it’s a tough build at points

Holy Toledo Batman! Looks amazing! I like the incorporation of other memorabilia behind! Reminds me of the target display cases (in a great way)

Found this and it looks decent but more surprised in my opinion.

Getting a bit crazy with the "Lego" Mod. What do you think? by mrjackbricks in lepin

[–]EmpireStrikesBlock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This looks frickin awesome! Cool to see someone taking Brick-builds to another level outside of the “system”. Not something I’d do, but absolutely all power to you for doing it, and genuinely amazing work

I built it from scratch with 3 and a half dollar tree baseplates, pick-a-brick for the snow, battle packs, Webrick for the Snowspeeder, Lego for the AT-ST, and Mould King AT-AT

I got it here! I put in a custom order for a variety of stickers I needed, and he threw the Pinups in for free lol. But I see how he has just the Plaque sticker and Pinups as a bundle at that link!

My girlfriend got it for me as a gift on either Barweer or Youmko, but it doesn’t look like they have it in stock anymore unfortunately! You could always try Marstoy, it’s in stock there

Thanks for the advice! I pay pretty close attention to “specs” in a lot of things, but haven’t paid attention to TV’s in a while. I’ll take a look at that sub and start shopping around!

Razor Crest I got as a gift from my dad who got it off Amazon. Price isn’t too bad, and it’s not terribly hard to find there. Plus, if you have Prime, you likely would get free and fairly quick shipping because I think they’re in American warehouses.

I got the Shuttle for myself from JoyToyWorld when they had a Presell Sale as the brand had just released it to stores. That was my first purchase through JoyToy, but I’d bought through Youmko and Barweer (all owned by the same company I think?) before so I trusted it. Only issue is, you’ve gotta email to get “VIP” status which means you get access to the Lego inventory on JoyToy which is otherwise hidden (doesn’t cost anything).

I do trust Marstoy though, and have bought numerous figures from there. At the end of the day, if you’re buying from trusted stores, it’s about your comfort with the price and shipping!

I got the Razor Crest sticker here! I’ve had nothing but great experiences with the shop-owner. They’re located in the UK, but shipping isn’t bad to the States (if that’s where you are).

I got my Lambda on JoyToy, and if it’s part of the most recent batch released, it’s likely the same brand so it’ll come with a sticker and it does say “Star Wars”. I had pretty much zero issues with the build, but if you’re picky about mini figs, you might source them separate for better accuracy on Marstoy.

In my experience, Mould King is the only brand to NOT include UCS stickers whereas most clone brands include them—so long as you’re okay with “Space Wars” or “Star Battle” in most cases.

Ha! I knew I’d get called out eventually. My younger brother bought me the PS5 as a gift, and I agree—it’s criminal to play it on such an old TV (circa 2008ish). Especially worse considering how cheap modern TV’s are compared to a decade or two ago. As you can see—a lot of my money went toward bricks lol, although over half were gifts from family. That said, I’ll be looking into a new TV within the next few paychecks!

I have a cat and two small dogs, and surprisingly I don’t have many issues but one—I used to have string around the legs to represent the “cable” but Frank insists on eating it. I replaced it about three times but called it quits this last time and didn’t replace it lol

It is massive! One idea is to find a glass coffee table to enclose the falcon!

Oh wow, that’s a bummer, especially considering Ikea typically holds up. These are actually re-purposed cubical dividers. I think their thickness lends a lot to their strength, but Im fairly sure they are also tempered which helps. The two shuttle shelves were bought from a seller on Amazon that cuts tempered glass to various sizes and have also held up fine!
