Wedding Prints

Any of you who know me in real life will probably know that I'm getting married this weekend.

Because of that, the last few blog posts have been a little on the short side due to me having my priorities lie elsewhere!  However this week I thought I'd quickly show off a few of the items I have been printing for the big day and how 3D Printing has made things a little bit easier/cheaper for us.

Names for Drinks

One way we are going to help people find their drinks in the sea of drinking that will be our wedding (I'm assuming) was to 3D Print everyone's name and to tie it to a small inflatable flamingo drinks holder.


Table Numbers

I have also printed large numbers that will be tied to the picnic baskets to help people find their allocated picnic.


Seating Plan Numbers

The numbers were also printed at a smaller scale without the loop on top to be attached to the seating plan at the entrance of the venue.

 

Cake Tier

One of the tiers in the wedding cake (which incidentally my fiancée is making herself) will be 3D Printed to make it just a little more personal.


Anyway, I hope that gives a bit of insight into some of the nicknacks that can be produced with 3D Printing, and I'm sure I'll see some of you on Saturday for the big event!

See you all next week

Troez.

Ovion's Battletech 3D Printable Models

Hey guys, this week I wanted to draw attention to the Patreon of a guy on the Battletech Discord. He's a freelance 3d modeler and is doing some really cool stuff for tabletop Battletech, Warhammer and Dungeons & Dragons communities. As I know him from the Battletech Discord (Come check it out by the way) I'm going to showcase some of the models he's put up on his Patreon in relation to the game with the big stompy mechs!  All of his models are created by him from scratch and they look great!  I won't put any names with them, for copyrighting reasons, but I'm sure you Battletech fans out there will be able to figure out what's what. I picked a small selection of his models to show here, but go check out his page for the whole lot and he is releasing new models all the time. Tanks 'Mechs If you don't see what you like or if Battletech isn't your thing, he does commissions for custom models so it would definitely be wor...

New Business Cards

Hey guys, so just for fun I thought I'd get myself some business cards! I'd been telling people about my little hobby (No, not that one, 3D printing you filthy minded animals) and it was getting exhausting having to spell out web addresses or look over their shoulder as they tried to find the correct Instagram page.  So I decided to mock up some basic cards that had a QR code for my  Instagram , Facebook and this blog.  I ended up liking the simple design so much I went ahead and ordered some cards! The QR cards make it a breeze to get people to the right pages, especially on Apple (urgh) as the native camera app picks up the code when pointed at the image with no other apps required (Android still requires a dedicated QR scanner app, come on Google! Sort it out!).  I used a free online QR code design tool and stuck some mini logos in the middle of each so people would know which code took them where. I paid a little extra to get the cards with raised print ...

REVIEW: Cetus3D MK2

Hey guys, I thought this week I'd give a brief review of the printer I have at home, the Cetus3D .  A lot of people ask online about affordable 3D printers and in my opinion this one is one of the best value for money printers out there.  This will be a very brief review (if you can even call it that) of my experiences with the Cetus3D MK2 3D Printer!! As you can see from the photo above, this is truly a desktop printer, with a really neat little form factor that focuses on function over looking particularly pretty which I really like. The company is based in China, but all of the best budget 3D Printers seem to be coming out of China and the limited contact I have had with their customer service has been exemplary.
