Hey fellow adventurers and 3D printing enthusiasts!
This week, I embarked on yet another journey in the realm of cool 3D prints tailored for Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) fanatics like myself. My latest project? A can-koozie dice tower that not only amped up my D&D sessions but also sparked an insatiable desire to continue down the path of D&D-related 3D prints. The next artifact on my list? A container for my treasured dice.
I stumbled upon an absolutely fantastic model for my dice container – one that takes the shape of a D20! Yes, you heard that right. But the coolness doesn’t stop there; this model features a lid that can be securely fixed in place with magnets. Now, I must confess, while the idea of embedding magnets excites me due to the sheer awesomeness and production quality boost they offer, it’s always a bit of a gamble for me. Aligning those tiny magnetic poles correctly? Almost inevitably, I end up with a couple in the wrong orientation.
Despite this minor hiccup, the anticipation of using a copper-colored silk filament for this project had me all fired up. I had a hunch that this filament would add a regal touch to the D20 dice container, making it a standout piece. And guess what? The print turned out spectacularly, even if I do say so myself. Sure, there was a slight bit of ringing, but nothing could detract from the overall beauty of the piece. Miraculously, all the magnets snapped into place just as they were supposed to, bringing the entire piece together in a satisfying culmination of my efforts.
As I now sit back and admire my newest creation, a thought nags at me – would a silk blue have captured the essence of my D&D adventures better than the silk copper? It’s a question that might haunt me until I finally give in and print another one.
But that’s the beauty of 3D printing for D&D; it’s not just about the end product but the journey there. Each print, whether it’s a dice tower, a container, or a miniature, adds a layer of personalization and excitement to the game, making each session uniquely ours.
Until next time, keep rolling those dice and may your 3D prints always come out crits!
