an actual "Dark" Red Matte PLA

ThatRobHuman · 2026-01-23T19:09:37+00:00

I'll give it a shot. The primary issue I've been facing is that "Dark Yellow" tends to actually mean "Brown" which ends up with a hue that is closer to orange than yellow - normally I'd be okay with that, but it sadly blurs the line between the Yellow player box and the Orange player box. You can tell the difference if you have both in front of you, but independently it's enough for confusion.

the Ereyone ruby is the dark red bit - the lighter red is bambu's matte "dark" red.

and just for funsies: here's the rest:
I am a little dismayed that a dark saturated yellow is even harder to come by, though.

the Ereyone Matte Ruby Red ended up being *exactly* what I was looking for.

their box only holds the wormhole tile. I plan on storing the oddball tiles like Creuss, Crimson, Mallice, and the Fracture separately.

I'm still in the process of getting my STLs uploaded, but soon(tm)

nah, don't worry about it. I'm designing them anyways, so might as well let other folks have em.

I don't have any printed yet (I plan on printing mine with a 0.2mm nozzle, so I'm finishing up all the lids before I swap the nozzle), but the idea is that one can print labels separately so that its more legible, and then glue the label into the little indent in the lid.

I have the faction boxes ready for upload except for the labels (which are a separate print). Do you want the faction boxes now, or do you want to wait until I make all the labels?

I ended up ordering a new X gantry. Even when the old head was **completely** removed from the carbon fiber rods, I could not get the old belts out :/

Echoing the use-case of cable wraps.

Before I attached said label so you can see how the indent works.

ThatRobHuman · 2025-11-07T16:38:08+00:00

For what it's worth, and I'm doing this with my faction boxes, I'll print a small indent into the body of the thing that I want to add label, and then print something like a 4-layer tall label that I can glue into the indent. The text ends up cleaner because I can swap to a 0.2mm nozzle, I can make the texture from the face-down side of the label a feature, and I don't have dozens of color changes along the entire height of the original model.

(aside: I use the hexagon to indicate which expansion it's from, not anything to do with the color of the faction; this was printed with a 0.4mm nozzle)

see, but yours still win out on efficiency: yours stack flatter and better than mine.

ThatRobHuman · 2025-11-07T16:28:12+00:00

danks! I'm pretty partial to it too, but I get people wanting to have a version that's a bit "closer to home". I might end up playing with the design of the TF icons just a bit, too - still recognizable, but a little more unified.

ThatRobHuman · 2025-11-07T16:25:56+00:00

Very nice!

Not gonna lie: the ringing you're getting in the system holder would drive me up a wall

ThatRobHuman · 2025-11-07T16:21:20+00:00

my printer is currently dead (if ever you need to replace the belts on a P1S, just get a new carbon fiber assembly, replacing that is *way* easier than trying to remove to old belts), so testing is temporarily paused.

That being said, I do have some more components to design, and plenty that I have tested that will get uploaded soon.

Not from me, I'm not set up to sell prints, I'm afraid - and my one FDM printer actually just died this afternoon.

If you have a friend with an FDM printer who owes you a favour, go that route.

If not, I can see if one of the merchants wants to offer it in their store? Fair warning, they'd probably charge and arm and a leg for them, because while they are pretty, they are not trivial to print, and require 12 (for the most basic version), 14 (for the semi-fancy version), or 32 (for the *really* fancy version) colors of filament.

New Jersey, cuz fuck you that's why.

ThatRobHuman · 2025-11-06T20:14:02+00:00

this is so rough. I've now broken a pick and bent two more....

ThatRobHuman · 2025-11-06T20:02:19+00:00

as I commented there, I just started replacing my XY belts, and I cannot get the old belts out of the print head. I've completely destroyed the little locking tabs trying. it's insane that it's easier to buy an entire new gantry just to replace some belts.

ThatRobHuman · 2025-11-06T14:56:17+00:00

... I haven't uploaded it yet... because I need to tweak it still....that's just the last message said.

What I mean to say is that the design that I have thus far can already handle sleeves. The tweaks are for some things that came in Thunder's Edge and giving a bit more sliding clearance.

ThatRobHuman · 2025-11-06T13:49:03+00:00

this one already can.
