It has taken me a little longer to get going this year but there are some exciting things brewing.

I decided it was easiest to pick up what Colton and Reese had and the prices over the holiday were getting stupid cheap.  This 3D printer cost less than my home paper printer so I decided to finally pick one up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9173-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9118\" srcset=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9173-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9173-198x148.jpg 198w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9173-400x300.jpg 400w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9173-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9173-900x675.jpg 900w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9173.jpg 1067w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The device was simple to set up and I had hardly any issues getting to my first print (the stock &#8220;owl pairs&#8221; that come with the machine).  It might seem like overkill to pick one up when Colton and Reese also have one but my kids are also being taught some CAD at school so it&#8217;ll be nice to show them the process of printing their creations as well instead of relying on the school printer to get through its workload.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It hasn&#8217;t been all owls and school projects though.  I&#8217;ve been busy cranking out some terrain to fill out more Frostgrave as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9176-600x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9120\" srcset=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9176-600x450.jpg 600w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9176-198x148.jpg 198w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9176-400x300.jpg 400w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9176-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9176-900x675.jpg 900w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9176.jpg 1067w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 3D printer is an interesting tool and I&#8217;ll do a write up comparing my CNC experience with my 3D experience but for now, I&#8217;ll just show off some finished terrain bits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9175-600x800.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9119\" srcset=\"http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9175.jpg 600w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9175-198x264.jpg 198w, http:\/\/pimpmyboardgame.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Anycubic_i3_Mega_Printer_9175-300x400.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy New Year!
