I can fix this in the slicer settings but haven&#8217;t messed with it yet. So instead, I have a little more post-print finishing work to do and forgot about this one. I decided to leave it since I&#8217;d already finished most of it by the time I noticed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the piece is great and adds a second large structure to my growing terrain set.  I have one more large piece to finish off my land terrain and I&#8217;ll go over that next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With scatter terrain, vegetation, docks, and even a villa ready, my Blood &amp; Plunder board is coming together.
