The war gaming table is coming along nicely. One more coat of paint on the outer edges and the lights can be installed.

First attempt at basic book binding with the guidance of the @FourKeysBooks YouTube channel. There’s room for improvement, but this was a fun make that will have follow ups.

For the original plan for the Boarding Actions side of the war gaming table, I printed the tiles in resin. While the details show up more clearly, these are prone to warping and chipping, and the tiny support pieces are hard to remove. I am now reprinting all tiles in ABS.

The beginning of a new double sided war gaming table. Although a battle mat can and will be used on top, a diorama grass mat was pasted on one side for an ever present terrain to use. The other side will be for a Boarding Actions terrain set still to be added on.

Great design is timeless. This model was used in 2011, and yet here we are over a decade later admiring a great machine.

It may have taken more than one paddle, but the end result looks very nice.

VBS season is in full swing now that school is out for the summer, which brings the opportunity to build fun props and sets. One local church wanted a “bridge” for the kids to cross over down the hallway for their theme this year. Foam and cardboard were the right materials.

Having received a new bottle of the Conjure Sculpt resin by Chitu Systems, I noticed a discrepancy in the recommended settings printed on the label and those posted on the website. I tried those printed on the bottle and have confirmed they work well.

[Archer Studio @ArcherStudioLLC]

The third time really is a charm. I switched to using MSLA with ⁦@ChiTuSystems⁩ Conjure Tough resin with the same geometry as before. This test was a success with the integrity of the socket holding up without breaking.

V2 of the plug wrench is also a failure. It’s a matter of the wrong material for the job. The socket design worked out better than the previous wrench design, but this plug requires too much torque for standard ABS. The next tests will be the same design with different materials.

[Archer Studio @ArcherStudioLLC]

Version 1 of a plug wrench design is a failure, but that's why product testing is so important. The new @Revopoint3d MetroX scanner was used to quickly reverse engineer the plug that the wrench would loosen and tighten. The fit and feel are good, but not the function. On to v2.

Happy to report that the new laser is capable of cutting through 1/4” plywood without a problem. It takes two passes at 100% power, but it gets the job done.

Oooohhhh…
That’s nice! @Revopoint3d were true to their word in sending over a brand new MetroX Pro 3D Scanner for winning the raffle! This is going to boost the capabilities of the studio greatly. Thank you again to the folks at Revopoint! More posts on this coming soon!

Certain projects require engineering materials beyond the capabilities of PLA. PETG is supposed to be good for such things and easier to print than ABS due to less warping and better bed adhesion.

[Archer Studio @ArcherStudioLLC]

Adding new capabilities this month. It took some troubleshooting to get the mechanics working correctly, but the recent laser engraving test proved to be satisfactory. Now on to more testing.

[Archer Studio @ArcherStudioLLC]

@CzXe7 @Revopoint3d Certainly will do.

[Archer Studio @ArcherStudioLLC]

Yeah baby! Upgrade time!

@Revopoint3d Awesome! I look forward to using this!

3D scanners are great, but many customers with a product design idea don’t have a 3D model but rather a 2D sketch. A compact scanner is a great tool in this case to get the sketch into CAD to start the first design iteration.
