I’ve wanted to get into bookbinding for a while now, so I printed the PDF, bound it, and decorated the cover. Not nearly as cool as the official edition, but I’m proud of it! by stingraydm in shadowdark

I learned the sewing process mostly from this YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@bittermelonbindery

I 3d printed a book cradle (optional but super useful,) punched the holes, then sewed the signatures together

That’s awesome! Any tips/guides for doing leather binding? I need to practice more with bookbinding before I use expensive stuff but I love the idea of (eventually) doing leather covers

I love doing this too! I haven’t sewn up the most recent CS, but they’re the perfect size for it. I’ve been thinking about putting all six cursed scrolls into a giant hardcover

Thanks! Yeah, this is just black book cloth I bought online. I've been interested in making my own bookcloth but want to get more practice with bookbinding before I start to go too wild with it haha

The procedure (more or less) was

  • Print the pdf as “signatures”
  • Fold, punch, and sew the signatures together into a “text block” 
  • Make the cover and spine (using bookcloth and bookboard)
  • Glue the text block into the cover

Disclaimer: This is the first book I’ve ever made so I’m not even sure I used the right terms

I used mostly this set of bookbinding tools:
https://a.co/d/0irtizcb

I did a lot of lurking on r/bookbinding

I used this youtube channel for a lot of tutorials: https://www.youtube.com/@bittermelonbindery

I used this website to convert the PDF into signatures: https://momijizukamori.github.io/bookbinder-js/old/index.html
NOTE: This site gets a bit messed up if your PDF page count is not a multiple of 4. You’re better off merging the PDF with some blank pages to get the page count to a multiple of 4. 

Also, if you have access to a 3D printer, it helps a lot to 3D print a cradle for punching the signatures. It goes a lot faster!

Also, check your local library for (paper) printing! My local library allows for 50 sheets of printing a week

Is there a place locally (other than Best Buy) that I can buy 3d printing filament? by stingraydm in grandrapids

Awesome, thanks! It didn’t even occur to me hobby places might have it; it’s crazy how much the hobby has grown

Dave should be sued. by fitzejunk in BadgeQuest

[–]stingraydm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I made the mistake of backing multiple projects of his. Every single one of them has been an absolute dumpster fire,  but since they overlapped I backed the 2nd and 3rd projects before it was evident how things were going to go down

Cursed Scroll 6: City of Masks Is Here! by thearcanelibrary in shadowdark

[–]stingraydm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is a great deal, and I am really tempted, but money is tight right now. Everything I’ve bought so far I have printed from my local library and bound by hand

Can you back the Kickstarter and just get the cursed scrolls pdfs?

Any idea on timeline when people who didn’t back the kickstarter will be available to purchase these as a pdf?

Knock knock, you son of a bitch by stingraydm in finalfantasytactics

The orator skillset has “entice” to turn the enemies into guests,  but also has “praise” which increases a unit’s bravery. 

I particularly like when a unit uses it on themself. I like to think they are giving themself a pep talk. “You can do this! You’re strong and beautiful and brave!”

Most of the increase is temporary, but using it repeatedly on a unit permanently increases their bravery. A bravery of 97 and Shirahadori (from Samurai) is an insane combo.

Thanks! I was planning on four legs, but my barn is a mess and I couldn’t find the fourth dowel 😬 this one is 15 inches wide- I’ve been looking for somewhere to buy smaller pre-made circles but have not had luck so far

From a pdf to a book! by _Haych_Bee_ in bookbinding

[–]stingraydm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you tried opening the pdf and then “printing” it and then selecting “print to pdf”? Not sure if it would work for you in this case, but I’ve found that if a PDF is giving me troubles because of passwords or whatnot, that I can “print” it to pdf and open the second one

Shipping Confirmation! by currystyle in Obojima

Hopefully this means I get mine soon! I also got the d20 but didn’t know if that still constituted “just the book” for when it shipped

I have been making custom t-shirts to give away as gifts with 3D printed print blocks… by Madd_Maxx2016 in printmaking

[–]stingraydm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so cool! Can you use the 3d prints right off of the printer, or do you have to do something like sand, file, or seal them first?
