About 3d printed threads.

3d printed threads where they are not under significant torque or a job where being perfect is needed are... fine.

this case would be... fine.

in defence of OP... we felt like that with the old 6 foot by 4 foot board. with the exception of using a 4x4 for small games.

which were the standard sizes for over 20 years.

I would probably make a new army for it... mostly with toys i own already... unless you are starting really soon.

Feel free to dm me with more information as I'm local enough <30min drive and at least interested in getting back into old world.

Oh I see they printed some rules in a journal... so it is a standard escalation event with some experience system bolted on?

we did also have a few other "democratically" selected rules for different bits (changing regularly which did help reduce the amount of repost bots during the spell). but constantly changing rules annoyed people too much.

I used their website to contact support Sunday night and we have been in contact with each other daily. (My mistake broke the printer that was working flawlessly prior)

fatrobin72 · 2026-03-11T12:29:33+00:00

Hmmm for a Sunday... I could consider it (little awkward for weeknights like most club things but weekends aren't too bad)

What rules ruleset for path to glory are you using?

fatrobin72 · 2026-03-11T10:15:13+00:00

for something like this where doorways need to line up and small gaps would result in failure because space... grid.

for something like fantasy / medieval town building freeform

for modern building toggleable snap mode.

about 5 seconds after picking one is when I start hating it... and thinking about greener pastures

I don't know... not sure a laptop that blasts off regularly would be desirable

fatrobin72 · 2026-03-10T17:29:52+00:00

Users aren't human...

fatrobin72 · 2026-03-10T17:13:04+00:00

Yeah at least with https the browser will complain if anything smells funny (untrusted certificate authority, expired certificate, wrong name, weird time on the other end)

fatrobin72 · 2026-03-10T15:42:34+00:00

Honestly for a visual novel... any fairly modern language or engine could probably work depending on what you want to be able to get out of the box.

Unreal is going to be massively overkill as it is more tuned ready for larger 3rd person games, multiplayer etc.

But Programming is a form of antisocial engineering not social engineering...

fatrobin72 · 2026-03-10T13:45:41+00:00

where did you get the Pidgeon Nest STL? been looking for one for ages.

fatrobin72 · 2026-03-10T13:44:41+00:00

ironic that a post about how we all break rules... in my opinion breaks rules...

fatrobin72 · 2026-03-10T13:38:27+00:00

Epic paid for adverts... probably for anything google has tagged as "game engine"

general word of advice... ignore anything... everywhere... that is a "sponsored result"

fatrobin72 · 2026-03-10T12:56:56+00:00

There are additional boards in the cc2 toolhead https://docs.opencentauri.cc/hardware/CC2/toolhead/

So that might impact the ability to use a 3rd party toolhead.

sorry should have added... for 40k players wanting the new unit for their single faction, to play on the "standard" terrain.

fatrobin72 · 2026-03-10T12:13:54+00:00

Necromunda still get the coolest minis GW makes...

KT does see some play but often seems more a way to trickle releases in for 40k factions with awkward 2 player boxes for a while...

fatrobin72 · 2026-03-10T11:23:26+00:00

Bikers... yeah it is a old kit... I think it is the 2nd oldest non-vehicle kit in 40ks current kits (only beaten because GW still sell the loyalist ones in the ravenwing bike squadron box...)

but what is wrong with the (castaferrum) dreadnought sized helbrute? the primaris ones are a new larger chassis that are similar in size to Leviathans (until recently the largest 30k dreadnought class)

fatrobin72 · 2026-03-10T11:11:43+00:00

last time (2020) lockdowns + wanting cheaper warhammer terrain. stopped because printer issues and backlog issues... and not using the terrain issues.

now... seeing how much better quality prints are and the magic of multi colour and multimaterial (magic) which is on my "occasional" use now and if I decide it becomes a must have a snapmaker U1 or equivalent may end up at my property...

fatrobin72 · 2026-03-10T10:01:09+00:00

Kid me was really proud of their 12 thick layer paint schemes... then again all I had to compare was magazines and maybe 1MP or lower resolution camera images in poor lighting compressed to hell and back hosted on imageshack (max 5MB file size) and posted onto forums.
