Out and about at the Portsmouth Comic-Con. It's only it's second year, but it seems to be doing well and it was on May the 4th, so lots of Star Wars. General practice run before trying London Comic-Con in a few weeks with a few tweaks and tidyups now that I know how this works...

Yes LC, It is indeed meant to be a baby Toothless..

On the continuing adventures of learning my 3d Printer settings... I ended up managing to produce this after an 11 hour print:

Dearest creature in creation, Study English pronunciation. I will teach you in my verse Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse. I will keep you, Suzy, busy, Make your head with heat grow dizzy. Tear in eye, your dress will tear. So shall I! Oh hear my prayer. Just compare heart, beard, and heard, Dies and diet, lord and word, Sword and sward, retain and Britain. (Mind the latter, how it’s written.)

Well after about 6 hours of printing, and 3 failed builds, I've made some progress on my project. I have the outer cases to my lightsabre's grip / main body. Now I just have to get the emitter and pommel sections before deciding exactly how to do the inner core... Edit: And since it's hard to tell from the pictures, those are both roughly 8cm / 3inches tall.

To be fair, you're making a kitchen table in what I imagine are only a few pieces. If I want to 3d print a kitchen table.. I'll have to do it in about 70 different parts.. Or make it one that's under 16 inches in length.

Voyager was pretty much.. every 4th episode someone broke onto the ship. Every 6th episode someone stole the ship. Every 9th episode someone stole the ship's crew.... How Tuvok kept his job I have no idea. That was not good security. Of course, half of that was Janeway.

Well, it's got a print volume of 300mm x 300mm x 400 mm, which translates into American speak to about 12inch by 12 inch by 16inch. But if you want the actual height, from base to top of the filament roll, it's about 34 inches. Edit: And for the show and tell, my first "Benchy" - The performance test model for printers in general.

Yup, Condolences Malc, savor the memories you had.

Slowly getting to grips with .. : Getting the levelling right is a bitch, but, it now seems sorted and I'm going to have a little play around to make sure I understand things.... Then I'm going to start printing out my mock lightsabre hilt... Hopefully.
