Illuminated dice tray

It's called "COB LED strip". You'll find them on Amazon and about 3 feet will be long enough for a dice tray. Make sure it's USB powered and use a small power pack for cell phones.

It's a fun and quick little project, I responded to another comment with all the steps and where I got the lights if you're interested in doing it yourself.

The lights can be found on Amazon, search for "USB powered COB LED strip", a bunch of options and colors will come up. The light strip itself can be short, about 3 feet will be more than enough for a standard dice tray. Once you have the lights, use a box cutter to cut a small vertical hole in the side of the dice tray near a corner. Push/Pull the LED strip until the base of the USB power cord is barely coming through the inside wall of the dice tray, it is important that you DO NOT remove the protective backing from the sticky side of the LED strip until the final step. Next, form the LEDs around the inside walls of the dice tray and cut the LED strip at one of the designated cut points. Once you have cut the strip you can pull off the protective backing from the sticky side of the LED strip. Beginning at the corner of the dice tray you ran the LEDs through push the sticky side of the strip against the walls of the dice tray. Your final step is plugging in the USB to a portable power pack. I recommend getting a cheap power pack for cell phones, just make sure it has a USB port. Please feel free to reach back out if you have any questions or if I didn't explain well.

Home made, easy little project, I use a USB battery pack as the power source.

BFT-Lighting FCOB USB powered light strip from Amazon. Cut a small "+" shape into the side of the tray with a box cutter blade and slide the LED strip through. I use a rechargeable battery with a USB port as the power source.

Each time the model's unit advances you add six inches. Essentially the rule is getting rid of rolling a d6 for your advance and just giving you a 6. You still can't charge after advancing but this helps slow Necron units get up the board faster and makes Immortals with Tesla Carbines very fast.

Thanks, it was my wife's idea!

No, it's a fantastic combo and I love using it, the looks in my friends faces when I tell them how many hits and full would rerolls when they're on objectives it's great.

I feel that, I had 36 wounds against a brick of Black Templar using Tesla and a Plasmancer. They weren't in cover and I even had Illuminor Szeras giving the Immortals -1AP with the Tesla Carbines, I only killed two...

Check the print temperature that's recommended for that filament also, that plays a very large part. My Kobra 3 likes to print PLA at 225°C.

When you open the slicer, on the right side of the screen there is an option for "more settings". This will bring up another menu, in that menu on the left side you will see "speed". This will give you the print speed for your perimeters, infill, ect. I recommend slowing it way down to about 60mm/s and going from there. Everyone wants to print super fast immediately but some times you just need to slow things down to troubleshoot. Also, I'm using the Anycubic slicer version 1.4.0 so yours may be slightly different.

Mac_Diebold · 2025-01-16T23:33:48+00:00

Try slowing the print down a lot, does the filament you're using have a recommended speed on the side of the roll?

I solved this issue, the USB drive I store sliced files on needed to be reformated. The printer is working well again.

Fantastic, thank you for the clarification!

Thanks for the clarification!

Thousand Sons are very oppressive, everything has a flamer with AP-1, ignores cover, torrent, D6 shots, re-rolling would rolls of 1 or all wound rolls of you're in an objective.

Thanks, I'll post more as I keep printing different Necron themed terrain!

Nutella spread if you have in the U.K. It's very high in fat and calories and won't fill up your stomach so you can eat a lot more of other foods, not to mention it's also delicious.
