I finally pulled the trigger and bought a 2nd 3d printer. I’ve been eyeing it for a while and saving up money from various printing commissions. This one is similar to the one I have but has a lot of advanced features that should make for faster and cleaner prints. To save money I bought
As most of you probably know I’m a HUGE Star Wars fan. From April 11th – 15th I went to Chicago with my wife Jessica and our best friends who are also big Star Wars fans for Star Wars Celebration. A 5 day convention for all things Star Wars! Going was a bucket list item
Saint John has recently seen a bump in cosplayers. They’ve made a good showing at a local gaming convention, but I kept having people ask me how to get into Cosplay and where do people meet? Without a solid answer I took matters into my own hands and scheduled a monthly meet up at my

The weather has been rather cold as of late. That means my basement is at uncomfortable temperatures to be doing anything productive in it. While I’ve done a bit of sanding on the Sith Mask, I’ve not made much progress. I’ve sanded stuff upstairs in the past… it’s messy… so I try not to do
While I am still moving projects forward there isn’t much exciting to share. My Mando helmet is around 75% printed, which is exciting. I’m having some problems with cracking in prints, I’ll share what I’ve been doing to fix it in a later post. I’ve started the process of filling and sanding the Sith Mask.
