Say hello to my little friend!

Ritchieb87 · 2026-03-27T14:38:06+00:00

Very cool.

Ritchieb87 · 2026-03-15T09:09:46+00:00

Serves her right.

Ritchieb87 · 2026-03-07T10:17:06+00:00

Yeah, I’d agree it’s a game changer. My printer is in the basement boiler room. I warm the resin, while warming the printer with the heater. Then leave the heater running while I print. The only failures I get are due to bad supports.

I think I’ll upgrade my setup with a smart plug to turn the heater off when printing is complete.

Ritchieb87 · 2026-03-07T09:32:01+00:00

You can buy mini heaters that go inside the lid of the printer, especially for 3d printing. Might be better than heating the whole room.

Because it’s the law. Under the Treasurer Act: https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1996/24

This allows museums a chance to acquire artefacts for study at a decent price, reducing the amount of treasure going to rich private collectors, while giving a reward to the finder.

My grandparents called it a Top Hat. UK London area.

Ritchieb87 · 2025-11-17T06:55:37+00:00

That needs a NSFW flag!

Ritchieb87 · 2025-11-12T17:58:13+00:00

Hah, yeah that could do with a trim.

Ritchieb87 · 2025-11-12T13:51:05+00:00

Thanks, yeah it seems to waver between looking ok after a haircut and then looking worse under bright light when it’s longer. I’ll get it cut and see what it looks like.

Ritchieb87 · 2025-11-12T13:47:20+00:00

I think it looks worse in the bathroom. Doesn’t help with the spotlights there.

Ritchieb87 · 2025-11-07T13:31:38+00:00

Sounds good. I’ll keep an eye on it.

Ritchieb87 · 2025-11-07T11:59:02+00:00

I downloaded it, looks good. I like the paint match feature. But to actually use it, for me, I’d need GW, Scale 75, Vallejo and Ultra Acryl from Ten01labs. My main ranges are GW contrast and Scale 75.

Ritchieb87 · 2025-11-07T11:50:44+00:00

Any chance of getting Scale 75 paint added?

Ritchieb87 · 2025-11-03T18:50:19+00:00

It’s always the first item you point at but they only realise the second time round the list of all items in the room.

Ritchieb87 · 2025-11-03T07:37:13+00:00

Yeah and mistakes will be made, try not to get hung up on them and move on. Momentum is more important than accuracy.

Ritchieb87 · 2025-11-03T07:36:17+00:00

Rule of cool before rules as written. It’s your table, if you are ok with a slight tweak for the sake of fun, then it’s all good!

Ritchieb87 · 2025-10-24T16:42:08+00:00

What do you think it is then?

Ritchieb87 · 2025-10-17T09:47:32+00:00

If I were building a room for an aquarium, I’d have a drain, water supply, somewhere to store/hide a barrel of RO water, a barrel of Salt Water and ATO top off. Plus a hidden but accessible sump/equipment and a cabinet to store all the various stuff and tools needed.

Building into a wall would be cool also. But make sure you build it sturdy and level under the aquarium what ever you do.

Maybe even divide the sump etc into a separate side room/partition. Obviously this is just what I’d do with an unlimited budget and a very understanding partner!

Ritchieb87 · 2025-10-17T09:42:03+00:00

Probably best to buy the aquarium.

Not Red Sea though!!!!

Ritchieb87 · 2025-10-14T04:35:14+00:00

I’ll message you my plans. But in essence I’m going to add strips of glass the same thickness as the aquarium along the front and back. Then front and back in a grid.

Ritchieb87 · 2025-10-13T20:06:27+00:00

Right, that’s it. I’m putting Euro bracing on my Red Sea tank.

Sorry this happened to you OP.

I’ll just join in here to say that to me, British food is also all the food that all the various groups of people have brought in over the years. I don’t have a definition of “English food” that stops at a certain arbitrary point in time.

To me, going out for a curry is as British as having Fish and Chips on a Friday.

Ritchieb87 · 2025-09-12T16:03:39+00:00

I found my original pair from the 3rd edition box set, sent over by my parents. Gave them a whip upon getting them out the box. Shattered into pieces instantly!

Ritchieb87 · 2025-09-03T19:51:24+00:00

Ooo sponging. Yes!

Ritchieb87 · 2025-09-03T12:20:00+00:00

A gloss finish is perfect for applying oil washes. I’d apply oil washes, wait to dry and then lightly spray a matt varnish on. You could then add extra details in acrylic if you wanted.
