A while ago, I designed an A1 Spares case and posted it up to Printables as a 3MF profile looking for feedback:
https://www.printables.com/model/861390-bambu-a1-and-a1-mini-spares-and-tool-case
The design is an A1 / A1 Mini version of my X1C/P1P/S tool case. However, I don't have an A1 or A1 mini, so although I was able to test the case design on my printer, I was unable to fully test the tool holder insert with the tools from the A1 series (I don't have, and cannot obtain, the tools that ship with the A1 series). So I've been looking for feedback on how the tools fit the case and the insert. Once I get feedback (and correct any issues that may be found), I plan to upload the design to MakerWorld.
If there are any A1 or A1 Mini owners out there, who would like to assist by printing and providing feedback on the design, it would help me complete the project.
It would be helpful if testers have a way to measure accurately, if there is an adjustment needed to the design (like a calipers or a good metric ruler). The 3MF is set up to use PLA, PETG and optional TPU parts. An AMS is not required, but there is an AMS option on some parts. The design only requires M3 SHCS and M3 BHCS screws to build.
If there are any issues found, I will work with testers on them, but cannot compensate for wasted time or materials. It's possible that some non-critical issues, such as finger cutouts that are too small for some folks, may not be re-worked unless absolutely necessary (due to the time to reconfigure the tool holder, and limited space to do so). The design is somewhat modular, so if there is a problem with the tools insert, only that part should need to be re-printed. I have done my best to make sure the design should work, and I've tested all parts of the case, except the tool holder insert. I was only able to post one pic here, however there are more pics of the case on my blog, including some pics of the prototype I printed to test the case.

...M5Stack CardKB Keyboard-ready!
Finally finished my case to accomodate all of the above. I'll paste what I wrote on Thingiverse and Printables for reference here as well. Hope you like it. And thanks to muzi for the inspiration.
If you have comments, suggestions, anything feel free to let me know here or on the respective pages.

Sorry that we're one day early with the posting - real life has taken over and I will be, hopefully, lying by a pool for most of this weekend...
Full disclosure before we begin. I completely missed Legion #117 and didn't realize it until I was almost done this column. What's worse for the creative team is that I didn't even notice until Legion #120. Yeah, lots of wasted paper here.
LSH #117
Things I never thought I'd type: "Thank the gods Scott Kolins is back penciling this book!"
Sensor is still at risk of being cut to pieces by the bad guy's scientist and Invisible Kid and Brainy can't do anything because they're holograms, kinda. Wow, they actually are still using Brainy's discovery. Luckily for everyone, Sensor still has her powers and has made it so everything thinks she's being vivisected while she gets away. Always happy to see characters save themselves!
The villain, Pernisius, powered with the Eternium from the Rock of Eternity, spends a couple of pages battering M'onel around. Nothing important to see here.
We then meet a new character, at Blackstar prison, named Gear. He interfaces with computers and can create organic technology. He immediately spots Sensor and tells them to go after her. Knowing that her powers don't work on tech, they quickly recapture her. Well that's just depressing.
Then, to make things more confusing, Sensor learns that she's no longer going to be cut open for research, she's now going to be working as a slave, just like Gear. Her job is to haul things into some sort of fire pit. I wonder if they're trying to make some sort of reference to what happened on Orando and just completely missed the point.
Am I the only one who's just scratching his head trying to make sense of this? Why did the scientist stop wanting to cut her open? Why is there a slave prison here? Why didn't they call up Ultra Boy to deal with his home planet? Why did they make any of these decisions?
Before the Legion can do anything to save her (how is it that the power of the Legion, with all the myriad of talents, can't get into a crappy building with a force shield?), Gear says he wants to escape to (ignoring everything he's been saying for pages) and he and Sensor are attacked. They fight off the guards and Gear shuts down the place.
I know I say this a lot, but this is so bloody stupid that it's offensive. They want to introduce a new Legionnaire and this is not how you do it.
They free the others and I'm so glad we got this one-issue distraction from the actual battle and problem with Pernisius. Ugh...
Legionnaires #74
It's the wrap up after the big battle with the elementals, so we'll learn who lives, who dies, and whether any permanent changes are coming.
We get our first moment, ever, where Ultra Boy shows a brain and actually questions what Apparition is doing - she's comforting Dragonmage and trying to help him. He points out that everything bad that happened is Dragonmage's fault - which is completely true. But Apparition points out that this doesn't matter - they need to help him recover from his injuries.
We go the battlefield, where Dirk Morgna and Brika, the dryad, have survived the fight and are no longer possessed by the elementals, but the other two died. The team starts trying to help everyone else who fought and who's looking a little worse for wear.
Saturn Girl proceeds to lay into Star Boy for leaving monitor duty to Dreamer and he admits to having made a ton of mistakes. So when other Legionnaires save the day by ignoring their duties (cough... Live Wire... cough...) it's fine but when Thom does...
More changes as Dirk realizes that he now sees everything differently and feels like the elemental is still inside him. Mysa offers to help and he gladly takes her up on it. He also realizes that he's got to help rebuild Tokyo after all the destruction, so Cosmic Boy suggests Magnoball games to raise money... no thought of the millions of people who are dead or injured after Dirk was possessed. But Magnoball!!
In a moment of an actual honest reaction to what's happened, when Dragonmage wakes up, Dirk immediately attacks him and tries to kill him. They drag him off and Dragonmage tries to defend himself, lying that he didn't know what was going to happen. Okay, honestly, if he gets away with this without even the tiniest punishment, even if it's self-inflicted, I won't be happy.
Then Brika finally succumbs to her injuries, but not before getting Mysa and Element Lad to promise to build a memorial for her destroyed planet. Man, she got the worst of all the beings that were possessed and, again, is any Legionnaire actually going to recognize that an entire planet of sentient beings were killed?
Continuing the "we have no idea how to write Live Wire" problem, he shows up from the Outpost and is immediately ripped apart for being a child and acting like an idiot. Not only does Saturn Girl criticize him, but so do Umbra and Chameleon. Again, just no idea why they're doing this and you know there will be no payoff.
Dragonmage continues moping around, watching how the other Legionnaires behave and hopefully he's learning something. For some crazy reason, Cosmic Boy takes time out of helping the others so he can yell at Alux Cuspin while he's in jail. I know they're setting up all of these scenes to show Dragonmage realizing what he did wrong, but this is so heavy-handed and cliched that it's just not working.
We end this issue with two moments that are handled so strangely that I'm not sure if the writers were even thinking clearly as they were happening.
First, Dragonmage surrenders to the Science Police and takes responsibility for everything that he did. Saturn Girl seems to almost want to defend him and then immediately flips and says he's gotta learn from his own mistakes. Also, do the S.P.s even know what they're arresting him for? Was anything explained to them? He basically just walks up, they cuff him, and it's over. They're trying to do something dramatic and just missing the mark.
And then Mysa and Jan build a monument to... Brika. On Mordru's prison planet. What? Why? What? How does that make any sense? How could they think this is what she wanted? Man, this epilogue to the elemental story just didn't work on any level and had so many weird, crazy, and nasty scenes that I'm just scratching my head.
LSH #118 - Your last Alan Davis cover, so enjoy!
We're continuing with a new villain, a Rimborian landlord named Pernisius who's been absorbing the Captain Marvel powers from the remains of what used to be the Rock of Eternity (the source of all the Marvels' powers) and has decided the best thing to do is pull every piece towards his home planet, rebuild it, and be the most powerful being in the universe.
Or, in his words:

I am already the most powerful being -- and of course, the most significant landlord -- in all the universe! I will amass history's greatest real estate empire, starting with -- a new continent here on Rimbor, my flagship property! The continent of Pernisia!

I wonder how drunk you have to be to write dialogue like that.
I also wonder how many times the writers watched the first Christopher Reeve Superman movie (and the only Brandon Routh Superman movie) and thought, "Everyone loves when the villain only cares about real estate!"
It should come as no surprise to anyone that this whole battle ends when Thunder disobeys Invisible Kid's orders, figures out a way to give the Legion the Eternity powers, and defeats the villain.
It should also come as no surprise that the Rock of Eternity is recreated on Rimbor, is nowhere close to the size of the original rock, and they've completely ignored that the Rock is back, in tact, and not part of Rimbor in the future. Once again, the creative team couldn't be bothered to maintain any internal consistency in their own story.
But for the "happy ending", Thunder can go back and forth between the Legion and her home and parents way in the future as she tries to figure out how to bring her powers with her. So she's staying with the team for at least the next couple of issues.
What makes no sense to me is that, by this point in time, the creative team must know this book is heading towards cancellation and a restart. Why not wrap up as many stories as they can?
Legionnaires #75
So one of the two things keeping Legionnaires even slightly more engaging than Legion is the fact that Tom Peyer isn't writing it. Who's the guest writer this issue? If you guessed Peyer, you'll understand my pain.
And, much to my pleasant surprise, he turns in a surprisingly decent one-issue story. Wow! It's not enough for me to take back all of my criticisms of his work, but I will commend him when he does get something right.
Or should I be focusing my ire on McCraw?
Anyway, the premise of this story is that there's some evil ship pretending to be the founding members of the Legion flying around a far-away planet and killing the citizenry. So everyone on the planet is deathly afraid of the Legion and, especially, Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy, and Live Wire.
When one of them gets off planet and would rather commit suicide than face Spark, the original three go and investigate. They uncover that it's all a huge plot by the king to quell any rebellions and they quickly wreck the ship, throw the king out of palace, and (hehe) make the angry and abused mob swear not to kill their monarch.
I must be honest - I do sometimes love when the Legionnaires are so naive they don't have an even basic understanding of how other beings feel.
Anyway, the art is top notch, again, as Jeff Moy turns in another great issue. The story works and the three actually act like real people, not just glorified cardboard cutouts and, in Live Wire's case, a jerk. And they resolve the "Live Wire's mad he's at the Outpost away from Imra" storyline. I think this might be the first issue where I get the sense the creative team is looking to wrap stuff up before the end of the series.
The single best part of the book, however, is the one page that will probably get glossed over - the final page. We see effigies of the Legion and king being burned in the background. But in the foreground, we see one young girl staring up at the Legion poster with a look of... dare I say hope? Could this planet play a larger part in the future?
Well, of course not, but it was a nice idea.
LSH #119
Is this a Phil Jimenez cover here? Wow... yet another artist who I wish they could get to draw the Legion. Why are they teasing us with these covers? I guess it's like those old George Perez covers over some horrible Steve Ditko Legion.
So let's talk about what kind of logic goes into writing a comic book that's struggling in sales. When you're trying to improve sales, you add characters that will get people to buy the comic. At DC, you add Superman or Batman and sales go up.
Of course, if you just want to keep the book struggling, you add characters from another book that's been cancelled - in this case, L.E.G.I.O.N.
There are really only two interesting things that happen in this issue:

• We see that Gear has been repaired and, I guess, is part of the team. Unfortunately for him, he ends up being the unlucky being who has to listen to Apparition and M'onel tell their story of one adventure with the L.E.G.I.O.N.
• We learn that Brainiac 5.1 cheats at video games.

Aside from that, this is a complete throwaway book that doesn't really accomplish anything and, honestly, just makes two heroes look bad. Are we supposed to like M'onel and Apparition more when it's revealed that they were perfectly fine with working with a planet of cannibals and did nothing to stop it? Yes, I know that was L.E.G.I.O.N.'s standard operating procedure, but anyone who didn't read that book would just think they're horrible.
Let's keep limping along...
Legionnaires #76
Wow - XS is back. We haven't seen her in a while, have we? But glad we're getting flashback issues about the L.E.G.I.O.N.
We start in a hospital as the Legion is trying to save an energy being in a crystal... oh no, I remember this... no...
To explain how we got here, we go back to Mordru's planet, where everyone is recovering and we actually get a little character development from Umbra. Wow - finally something that shows who she is.
Dirk Morgna starts seeing some weird, invisible energy being floating around with his new vision powers. Mysa uses her magic to see the energy pattern and she says it seems familiar. That makes no sense, but let's continue. A U.P. officer shoots it, because they're all idiots, and the energy blasts back.
Umbra contains it in a darkfield and then Element Lad changes the dust around it into a crystal. Mysa continues to talk about how it's a familiar presence and then finally gives the big reveal: it's what remains of Atom'X, the member of the Amazers who was killed by Mordru back in Legionnaires #49.
On Medstation One, where they've got Atom'X energy in the crystal, Saturn Girl probes for consciousness and finds that there are actually two people in the energy: Atom'X - Randall Burroughs and Blast-Off of the Workforce - Jahr-Drake Ningle.
Oh no...
The Legion pulls together all the equipment, doctors, and scientists they need (wouldn't want to call Brainy or Lyle, huh?) and they put together a suit to put the energy into.
We get more of Umbra's personality as well, as she keeps referencing her home planet, her culture, and her desire to no longer disgrace herself. As much as I like seeing this, couldn't they have done this before? Ever? Or just make this consistent so we're getting it for every character?
My only big problem with this is that Umbra is being written as almost someone who's got multiple personalities. There's nothing consistent here and it's just making her into a much more unlikable character by the end. Why do this? They're almost turning her into another Andromeda and I don't understand how this makes any sense, especially with everything else they've done with her character before. It also makes no sense for M'onel to hang out with someone so xenophobic.
The energy flies into the suit and it starts moving around. It's a nice red and orange and ugh... and what does it decide to call itself? Drake Burroughs. Which makes no sense but ugh..
Look, I've made no secret that Wildfire is my favorite character but this just seems like a weird way to bring the character back, especially because there was no build up to this at all. I may have missed it, but after a scan over the Mordru story, I don't think they ever named Atom'X or Blast-Off, so just throwing these names out is forcing a round story into a square plot.
This really doesn't work for me at all.
LSH #120
I screwed up and wrote one extra issue this week, so enjoy this bonus... or I'm just rushing to get the end of this...
So guessing by the new Phil Jimenez cover, we've lost Alan Davis for good and he's taken over. Can't say I'm shocked that Davis was done, but it's still a shame that the interiors look so much worse than the interiors.
We also see that Scott Kolins is inking his own work here, so we'll be able to judge if it's him or the inkers that have kinda lowered the quality of the book.
The first half of the book shows the Emerald Eye breaking 4 of the Fatal Five (Mano is no longer a member) out of Takron-Galtos. It actually works as we meet all of the members and they bring back a text piece, pretending to write the marketing plan for the prison. It's a great call back to some older Legion stories... but, yet again, I'm just going to complain that the font they chose is so bad that it's almost unreadable.
We also learn that Takron-Galtos tortures some prisoners (Thanok) and forces other to perform slave labor (The Persuader). Wow. Once again, are you trying to make us sympathetic to the villains? To those two, at least. The Emerald Empress killing everyone near her doesn't really help her cause.
The Eye reveals that it broke the four out so that she can serve the Empress and better focus its skills. Makes absolutely no sense, even less by bonding with the Empress, but they needed to get them back together and chose the simplest way to do it.
To the Legion Outpost we go, where Gates is ranting about how horrible the Legion is while wanting to spend time with Brainiac 5.1 while the rest of the Legion is on vacation. Yet again, we're throwing out character development to return everyone back to their original personalities. Didn't Gates grow a little and accept the usefulness of the Legion? Also, it's a shame that Brainy is so dismissive of Gates' ideas to feed hungry children. That's not a good look. Maybe he's the future version of a .
As they continue to bicker, the Fatal Five (is the Eye a separate member now?) arrive and Gates rushes to fight them off. Thankfully, Brainy joins to help.
Here's one of those moments where the hero is a complete idiot and does something they should never do. To set the scene: The Emerald Eye, the Empress, Thanok, the Persuader, and Validus have just broken into the Outpost to loot and destroy. Gates, whose only power is teleportation, does exactly that and faces them. Why? Why would he do this? He spends so much time ranting about how bad the Legion is but yet rushes into certain death to protect the ship, which he earlier moaned about costing so much money. If it was Ultra Boy or M'onel rushing in, I'd be fine with it. But Gates?
Unfortunately for Gates, they needed to have Brainy save the day, so he gets to be the cannon fodder. Of course, Brainy saves him and escapes. Even worse, Gates then apologizes for rushing into the fight without thinking and Brainy says he envies that Gates acts without thinking. What?
By the end of the issue, Brainy and Gates have escaped and the Fatal Five have taken over the Outpost. Which, of course, means nothing because there are security codes and backups to prevent someone from doing this. Right? I mean Brainy and Lyle woulda thought of that. Right? You mean my work laptop is more secure than the Legion Outpost? Wow this book just gets dumber and dumber.
Luckily we only have five more Legion issues to go.
Our Legionnaire in the spotlight this week... Matter-Eater Lad!!!
Is this canon? Can he eat at super-speed?
https://preview.redd.it/ml11mu8k2nzc1.jpg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2da71f8e4d39371eaa9b8e43ebdd2725293346c5

I've spent a lot of time talking about Matter-Eater Lad before. He became a key member of the 5YL Legion and, since he was one writer's favorite character, got a completely undeserved amount of attention and solo issues. I'm not writing this to offend Tenzil Kem fans, honest. But no one can tell me that the 5YL Legion, with its dense plot lines and mysteries, needed to give him 3 complete solo issues. I'd say the same thing about any Legionnaire.
I also think that his issues in 5YL were so drastically different from the rest of the series that they landed with a thud. I know many found them funny but I didn't. I just found those issues as tributes to the silliness of a lot of the Silver Age stories and were tonally so askew from what the book had become that I looked upon them with dread instead of delight. I will admit that I may be holding that against poor Tenzil as well, which obviously isn't the character's fault, but it does sour my take on the character.
This might offend the fans now - I never thought he should be a Legionnaire and I always felt that Tenzil was a product of the Silver Age that didn't work any other time. Heck, even when he was showing up during 5YL, I just could never justify his membership. His superpower is that he can eat anything. That's it. He's not a great fighter. He's not super smart. He's not a leader. He's not anything else. Funny, maybe, but that's it. But there's only one Legionnaire that I have a harder time with and he's the one no one ever brings back. Poor Condo...
One reader commented that Tenzil represents the Legion at its core - someone who's better than his powers and someone who works to be their best. And the Legion has always been about super-heroes who aren't obviously strong but have a different kind of strength.
So, Bouncing Boy?
My memories of M-E Lad are of him miraculously saving everyone from Omega and then disappearing. He spent a long time catatonic and when he was finally cured, he never came back in any meaningful way. Sorry, but I just don't have any emotional connection to him at all.
But having said all that, I will still argue that he deserves to be in any Legion reboot moving forward and I'd love to see a good creative team turn him into someone that I want to read about. As I've said before, every character is someone's favorite and they should be handled with that level of respect.
Instead of the down votes that I know are coming from this take, I'm going to ask you to do something else - tell me what issues I should be reading that show me just how valuable M-E Lad is. He was a joke in 5YL, he was a playboy and a jerk in SV6, so please don't use those. I actually think his best is during PZH, when he's the chef and team supporter. I like this role for Tenzil and actually think it's the perfect place for him.
But what SilveBronze age issues show just how important M-E Lad is and how he's central to the team? Make me do a deep dive into something I've glossed over.
With that, the gauntlet has been thrown down! Let's hope some of you come back next week as we continue the death march to the end of these books.

Jagdpanzer IV (70) print design from Fighting Vehicles / Print Your Tank
Hello everyone and welcome to another review /PrintedWWII review. As I dive into 3D printing, the lack of extensive documentation and reviews of what is good, what is bad, and what works with care, has been vexing to me, so my hope is to provide a little bit of what I wish was readily available for me when I started!
Today's review is on model from the designer known alternatively as Print Your Tank (for their storefront on Wargaming3D) and Fighting Vehicles (for their Patreon). I believe they also are the Print Your Tank account on Kickstarter which has done two campaigns there so far. Their focus is, as the name implies, on World War II tanks and other vehicles.
For the purpose of this review I acquired several models by subscribing for a time to their Patreon.
Printing
Stug 33b printed in FDM. A clean, easy print, although the hull-machine gun printing separately does result in some unevenness which you can see here. I suggest attaching prior to printing.
As the Fighting Vehicles designs are optimized for FDM printing, all of the models were printed Prusa Mk3S+ FDM machine, using Prusa Slicer to prepare the models. A .4mm nozzle was used for all prints, with a mix of .2mm and .1mm layer heights, and the models were printed using Hatchbox PLA.
I found the printing to be exceptionally easy, with the models generally well designed for FDM printing. Supports are necessary in a few places for certain protrusions or overhangs (such as the main gun), but they are usually quite obvious, and even if you have no confidence in doing it yourself, using the auto-paint with organic supports should be more than sufficient to ensure a good print.
Most models, especially the tanks, are designed with flat bottoms that place nicely on the build plate. In a few cases, namely wheeled vehicles, there is some detailing on the undercarriage. It is fairly basic so won't cause any printing issues per se, but I would recommend angling the print slightly to fit a good amount of support underneath. I ran into no issues with my prints when doing this.
Typical breakdown of a tank model, with guns and treads separated, as well as some additional pieces like a storage box.
The models are all supplied in a broken down form, with treads/wheels and the hull separated out, which helps to make for a very straight forward printing. The only meaningful complaint I would have here is that there are a few very small parts which are hell to print well, most notably hull machine guns. Printing a little tiny thing like that on an FDM machine is always hell. I find it miles away easier when they are on the hull and can be supported there instead of on the build plate. Its a minor issue - and one that you can fix with even marginal competence via Tinkercad - but one to keep in mind all the same.
Undercarriage of a truck model. It can't print flat on the build plate without supports, but supports are easy and straight forward to place.
I did no tests in resin for these models. They are quite clearly optimized for FDM printing, and while I'm sure they would print well enough in resin and look decent resin-focused printers I doubt would consider this to be their first stop for printing.
The Models
Panzer I Ausf c. Model
Some of the models available from Fighting Vehicles/Print Your Tank might be familiar! This is because the folks behind Wargame3D previously were involved with this group instead, but split off to forge their own path some time back. My understanding is that they both essentially retained the rights to the models designed when they were one design group, hence why you can find the same model sold by both. But whereas since then, Wargame3D has shifted significantly in their design philosophy, pivoting from FDM focused designs to much more finely detailed resin-optimized prints (see this recent review), Fighting Vehicles/Print Your Tank keeps the flame burning for the FDM-optimized designs that they have always done (see for instance the very first print review I did which kicked this whole thing off).
Overall, the quality of the designs remains consistently strong. The detailing isn't intense, but it is appreciable and done to a level that plays well with an FDM printer. Likewise the models might feel a little stolid or otherwise blocky, but that really is only if you are handling them up close. At table distance they look just fine, and it is a very agreeable balance in the design to ensure good, easy printing models.
Hatches can be placed either open or closed as prefered.
There isn't any corner cutting, and in places where detail is possible on an FDM machine, they definitely go as far as reasonable, such as with the treads which are done with cutouts for the open space, but still flat backs for easy printing. Many of the models also have open hatch options, as well as smaller pieces that can be fitted on the model optionally such as storage boxes. The models are also all broken down into pieces, which not only makes for easier printing as noted previously, but also is my preference for painting as well.
That said, there are a few negatives. The most overall frustrating one is the flip-side of the split parts. Printing and painting in separate pieces is nice, but it is also nice when they assemble easily. There is no hole or peg system, or any other guidance for attaching the treads to the side of the tank! And while perhaps only the eagle-eyed will notice when your placement is oh-so-slightly off, it nevertheless is annoying that you have to eye-ball the placement and hope you got it right. A small protrusion on the hull and a small hole or slot on the back of the treads wouldn't complicate the ease of printing, and make for smoother assembly.
Fully flat bottom on the treads and a flat side on the hull means you need to figure out the exact placement yourself. Not ideal, but a minor flaw.
I also find it a bit annoying that there is no space for magnetizing the turrets. Not everyone does it, but I certainly like to, and there is neither a magnet hole, or otherwise some amount of clearance to allow placement of a magnet on the bottom of the turret and in the turret well of the hole. This would be very nice to have.
To be sure, these amount to minor issues. They don't impact the ease of printing, and what aesthetic impact they might have is quite minimal. All they do is slightly mar what is otherwise a nice set of models.
Selection
Daimler Dingo model. The protrusions are thick enough to print well in FDM, but not so oversized as to seem outlandish.
Fighting Vehicles/Print Your Tank has what should be an exceptional back catalog, but unfortunately is a bit scattered in what is actually available. On Wargaming3D, there is just over three dozen models available, but this definitely isn't reflective of their entire body of work, and doesn't seem to be regularly updated. Their Patreon continues to be active with new models that I don't see available for a la carte sale there, so this would seem to be the only way to get any of their more recent models. And unfortunately, whereas they used to release multiple models per month (and were doing so when I originally subscribed), it looks like more recently they have only been releasing one model per month.
Conclusion
Opel Blitz truck model
Fighting Vehicles/Print Your Tank continues to output really solid models, well optimized for FDM printing with a well tuned balance between the exigencies of printing and the detail possible there. If you are looking for detailing to rival a scale model and 'wow' everyone with a resin print, this isn't going to be the designer for you, but if you want some great game pieces that are FDM friendly, these are definitely top tier. While not entirely devoid of issues, they are mostly minor, and at least some of them are quite easy to rectify yourself, so don't seriously detract from the final models. If anything, the biggest downside is just how easily available the models are. With not all of them available for a la carte purchase, it can be a bit annoying to know that they have the model, but you can't get it.
Via their Patreon though, I do believe that subscribers have access to at least some of their back catalog (this was the case when I last subscribed), not only the most recent release, so even it it is only providing one new model per month, it does offer a good opportunity for anyone looking for a decent selection of FDM printable tanks.

April 12th is... National Licorice Day
-- Licorice comes from the root of the Glycyrrhiza glabra plant and dates back to ancient times. It was used by the ancient Chinese, Egyptians, and Greeks for its medicinal properties. In those times, it was mainly used to treat maladies such as upset stomach and respiratory congestion. Licorice was found in the tomb of King Tut, and Alexander the Great's army reportedly consumed licorice. Today, it is primarily used in candies and consumed for enjoyment.

March 31st is... Eiffel Tower's Anniversary/Eiffel Tower Day (1889)
-- On March 31, 1889, the flag was hoisted to the top of the Eiffel Tower. It was built as the centerpiece for the Exposition Universelle, or World's Fair, held in Paris to mark the centenary of the French Revolution. Originally painted a deep red, it is thought to be more protective against rust. It has since been repainted 19 times, approximately every seven years, and its color has changed from red-brown to yellow ochre to chestnut brown. Today, it is a bronze Eiffel Tower Brown.

Reversa Corrugated Target for Shooting Practice

​
https://preview.redd.it/cp79loce94mc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a55ad92301fb0d74784ad6eb2f5ac038e3ee35b3
I recently purchased the Reversa Corrugated Target, and I have to say, it has significantly improved my shooting practice. The front side features 13 easy-to-see targets, providing ample space to hone my skills and increase accuracy. The corrugated design not only makes it durable but also able to withstand multiple shots, making it a cost-effective option for regular practice sessions. On the other hand, the reversible feature where it can hold up to 12 clay pigeons is an added benefit for those who enjoy trap or skeet shooting, giving this target an edge over its competitors.
However, one aspect that could be improved is the visibility of the targets from a distance, especially in low light conditions. It would be great if Reversa could enhance the contrast or brightness of the print for better visibility downrange. Overall, this target has become a game-changer for my shooting practice, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a durable, versatile, and cost-effective option.

Cabela's Rimfire Dueling Tree: 8 Flip Targets for Fun Challenges

​
https://preview.redd.it/ecvk29te94mc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6bbf7165b268f88ad1fb46c247c8401b24902f9a
I got the Cabela's Rimfire Dueling Tree as a birthday present from my friend, and it's become a fun addition to our backyard target practice sessions. The best part is definitely the friendly competition it brings - challenging each other with my friends and trying to hit those targets in a row has us laughing and getting more accurate.
The 8 spring-loaded flip targets provide a good variety of sizes, making it more challenging and interesting. I appreciate how solid and durable the steel construction feels, perfect for withstanding multiple rounds. However, sometimes a target can get stuck halfway back but a quick nudge or lubricant fixes that up.
The wide base and stakes allow us to set it up quickly and securely almost anywhere. One downside I noticed is that it can occasionally bend a bit if a target is struck hard, but it still works fine. Overall, for under $50, this Cabela's Rimfire Dueling Tree has been a great addition to our target shooting experience.

Exact Shot Placement Paper Targets - 100 Pack

​
https://preview.redd.it/a7exkiff94mc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f65121243aaa8d3a6e9ee5b570504e313ec074fc
I recently got my hands on these Red-Fire Life Size Silhouette Paper Shooting Targets, and boy, they've livened up my shooting sessions! The bold high contrast silhouette with neon red bullseyes makes it super easy to see where your shot lands, even from a distance. I love how well you can spot those dark bullet holes against the bright white silhouette - it's like a game of connect-the-dots, but with bullets!
Made right here in the U. S. A. , these targets are perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. They're the same size as real folks, so practicing on them feels more like real-world self-defense training than just another day at the range. Plus, the neon-red center point on each scoring zone is a nice touch that helps me focus my aim.
However, I did notice one minor drawback: the targets seem to wear out faster than I expected. But considering how much they've improved my accuracy and overall shooting experience, it's a small price to pay. If you're looking to level up your shooting skills, I'd definitely recommend giving these Red-Fire Life Size Silhouette Paper Shooting Targets a try!

Assorted Red Ryder Paper Targets (25 ct)

​
https://preview.redd.it/50bjnfxf94mc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da6a4ebb3d7b49482762ca744617d2602845facb
I recently started hunting for fun ways to practice my sharpshooting skills, and that's when I discovered these Daisy Red Ryder Paper Targets. These 25 assorted targets, featuring the iconic Red Ryder logo, have been a game-changer in my practice sessions! The retro packaging instantly transports me back to the cowboy era, and the vibrant red color makes them stand out against the greenery.
One aspect that I particularly appreciated was the sturdiness of these targets. Despite being made of paper, they can withstand quite a few shots, which helps me refine my aim more effectively. The variety of targets with different designs adds an extra layer of enjoyment and challenge to the game.
However, I must admit that their relatively small size was a bit of a revelation when they arrived. While they are perfect for beginners or close-range practice, I wish I had known that they wouldn't be as suitable for more advanced shooters or longer distances.
Overall, these Red Ryder Paper Targets have been an enjoyable and valuable addition to my shooting practice. They are colorful, well-designed, and provide hours of fun. If you're planning to enhance your sharpshooting skills or just looking for a fun activity, I recommend giving these a try.

Life-Size Human Silhouette Paper Targets - 100 Pack

​
https://preview.redd.it/37whu4jg94mc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=41905a03100616bea2b82b08d4fa8728f40e7a40
I recently came across the Basic Training Silhouette paper shooting targets, and I'll tell you, they're a game-changer for anyone looking to improve their shooting skills. The first thing that caught my attention was their life-size human silhouette, complete with clear vital zones and a scoring area, making it easy to see your sights and evaluate every shot. Plus, the 100-pack offers great value for the price.
One minor downside, however, is that the paper quality isn't top-notch, so you might want to make sure your firing position is secure to avoid any paper tearing. Also, since these targets are made in the U. S. A. , it's worth mentioning that the shipping time might be slower compared to other products.
Overall, the Basic Training Silhouette targets have made a significant impact on my shooting practice. The combination of their human silhouette design and the valuable shot placement feedback provided by the vital organ outlines has made it so much easier to improve my accuracy. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a cost-effective way to practice their aim!

Bright Fluorescent Yellow Splatter Targets for Pellet Gun

​
https://preview.redd.it/00nj3tih94mc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c112022ffa0930f75e71d7fbe6875c1b13b86710
I recently got my hands on the fascinating Atflbox 25pcs 12" x 13" Splatter Paper Shooting Target and Adhesive Target, and I've been quite impressed with its performance. It's an interesting take on traditional paper shooting targets, with a vibrant fluorescent yellow that makes your shots instantly visible. Plus, it comes with adhesive stickers making it incredibly easy to set up and start shooting.
One thing that stood out for me was how brightly the splatter shows up on these targets. Whether you're indoors or outdoors, the colors make it super easy to locate your target without much effort. I also love how it boosts efficiency - no more squinting your eyes to look for the hit, you can see the immediate results from a distance.
However, one drawback might be the need to replace the splatter papers frequently, especially if you're a regular shooter. But given the affordable price and the number of sheets provided, it doesn't seem that big of an issue.
All in all, the Atflbox Splatter Paper Shooting Target is quite a revolutionary addition to my shooting practice. It's not only visually appealing but also practical and efficient. I'm quite happy with my purchase and will definitely be buying more of these in the future. "
Remember, using this product could be a new experience for many, it may not fit every user's preference but it has proven to be a viable option for many hunters.

13" x 16" Shooting Range Cardboard Targets

​
https://preview.redd.it/g304pm8i94mc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a9c34f887a2914c8f5aaf417053218adfdf9cf8
I have to admit, using Highwild's 13" x 16" paper targets has been an interesting experience. The idea of using cardboard boxes as targets is rather ingenious and certainly cost-effective. However, I wouldn't exactly call it the most efficient way to practice shooting. My first impression was quite positive - the large, high-contrast black silhouette made targeting easy even from a distance. The built-in scoring table came in handy too, allowing me to track my accuracy.
However, the material quality left much to be desired. The paper used for these targets was quite thin, which made me feel like I was just throwing money away each time a bullet tore through it. Plus, these targets aren't designed to last long; they're more of a one-time use kind of thing.
Still, Highwild's targets are versatile. They can be used indoors or outdoors, over short or long ranges, making them suitable for a variety of shooting practice scenarios. But again, the target's longevity is an issue.
All in all, Highwild's 13" x 16" paper targets won't replace your traditional shooting targets, but they can offer a cost-effective way to have some quick fun or get in some basic practice. Just remember, these aren't meant to last multiple sessions.

Cardboard Shooting Targets for Dart Battle Games

​
https://preview.redd.it/bjgu57ui94mc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1b554630fbc0e492fe3fe39c1dc070a93d27b16
I recently purchased these Small Dart Battle Target Cutouts for a fun party I was planning, and I must say, they truly added a unique and exciting touch to the event. The targets were exactly what I needed to create a battle atmosphere among the partygoers. The cardboard material made it easy to work with, and the ability to attach command strips or staple them onto various surfaces allowed for maximum flexibility in decorating.
One of the standout features of these cutouts is their versatility. Not only did they serve as great decorations spread across doors and windows, but they also made for an engaging game of target practice when stapled onto foam blocks or posts. Plus, the bright colors and distinct target shape added a nice pop of color to the party space.
However, one minor drawback I encountered was that the cardboard material wasn't as durable as I had hoped. Some targets got a bit bent or creased during transportation and setup, which could affect their appearance for future use. But overall, these Small Dart Battle Target Cutouts were a fun and affordable addition to my party, and I'd highly recommend them for anyone looking to add a touch of excitement to their event!

Allen Titan Cardboard Deer Target - This sturdy and life-sized target is a game changer when it comes to improving your rifle or archery practice. . Its organ profiles provide a clear layout for optimal shot placement, making your range sessions more effective and rewarding. .
Not only does it serve as a great backstop for your archery block or bag, but also makes for a fascinating cardboard deer target when you're practicing with a rifle. .

I recently purchased Champion's LE Target Silhouette Cardboard, and I must say, this was the perfect choice for me. . Its high-definition printed silhouette made it incredibly easy to see where my shots were landing, making practice sessions more productive. .
The scoring table allowed me to keep track of my performance, helping me identify areas for improvement. . However, one drawback was that the numbers on the target were a bit too faint, which could be improved. .

Cardboard Deer Target - 25 Pk.

​
https://preview.redd.it/5z0wnpek94mc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=17d2255e100f8983ad0e69f4656820aec267351e
My friends and I have been using the Cardboard Deer Target from Weaknecht for several weeks now, and I have to say, it has truly enhanced our practice sessions. The detailed silhouette of a buck, complete with all its vital organs, provides both ample target area and a realistic experience. I appreciate that the 25-pk. comes in two colors, allowing for variety in our training routines and helping us maintain our focus during those hours at the range.
One of the most notable features of this target is its durability - while the cardboard may not be as solid as steel or heavier materials, it holds up surprisingly well. It's lightweight too, making it easy to transport and set up wherever we decide to practice. Additionally, the price point cannot be beaten, especially when buying in bulk.
However, there are a few cons to consider. Firstly, there's a possibility that it might tear more easily than other targets, especially if you're using something other than arrows or airgun pellets. Secondly, due to the cardboard's susceptibility to moisture, it's essential to store this target away from elements that could cause potential damage.
Overall, I highly recommend the Cardboard Deer Target 25 Pk. from Weaknecht to anyone interested in enhancing their shooting skills with a realistic, cost-effective solution.

Shooting Range Paper Targets for Practicing Accuracy and Consistency

​
https://preview.redd.it/90sf6izk94mc1.jpg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7afeca4bcf220734e86114545092e655c7b9d532
I've been using the EZ Aim Silhouette Paper Shooting Targets for a few weeks now and I must say, they definitely make shooting more enjoyable. Their bright colors help improve visibility down range, making it easier to focus on accuracy and consistency. The high-quality paper is durable enough to withstand multiple rounds, but it's still biodegradable, which is a big plus for me.
However, one downside I experienced was the size. They are life-sized, which can be a bit overwhelming at first. But once I got used to them, I found that they were perfect for challenging my skills and pushing me out of my comfort zone.
Overall, I'm really happy with these targets. They've made my shooting sessions more engaging and have definitely helped improve my accuracy. If you're looking for a way to enhance your shooting experience, I'd definitely recommend giving EZ Aim Silhouette Paper Shooting Targets a try.

Buyer's Guide

Important Features:

Cardboard shooting targets are a cost-effective and environmentally friendly option for practice. Key features to consider include:

• Construction: Ensure the target is made from sturdy cardboard that can withstand multiple shots without falling apart. Some targets also include additional materials like steel or plywood for added durability.
• Size and Shape: Depending on your shooting skills and the weapon you use, choose a target with the appropriate size and shape. Standard targets include silhouette, IPSC, and plate targets.
• Ease of use: Look for targets that are easy to set up and take down. They should also be lightweight and portable, allowing you to practice in different locations.

Considerations:

When choosing cardboard shooting targets, take into account:

• Safety: Always follow safety guidelines while handling firearms and setting up targets. Make sure the target area is well-ventilated and free from obstacles.
• Weather Resistance: If you plan to practice outdoors, select a weather-resistant target that can survive rain and wind without falling apart.

Hello!
I am currently designing a 3d printable ship that can be printed on a standard Ender 3 in multiple sections. The ship will be approximately 925mm long and 181mm wide.
I would like to obtain a speed of 10mph/16kmh and have a fairly long range. This is my first time using RC stuff and have little idea of what I'm looking at, and would greatly appreciate any recommendations for anything electronics-related.
Attached is the preliminary design that still needs a lot of work, as several cutouts will be made in the aft sections for the propellers and rudder.
If needed or curious, I can attach additional pictures of each section in its current form.
Thank you!

February 17th is... Michael Jordan's birthday (1963)
-- By acclamation, Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time. Although a summary of his basketball career and influence on the game inevitably fails to do it justice, as a phenomenal athlete with a unique combination of fundamental soundness, grace, speed, power, artistry, improvisational ability, and an unquenchable competitive desire, Jordan single-handedly redefined the NBA superstar.

After posting v1 here a couple of weeks ago, I received a lot of great feedback on ways to improve this model. Thanks to everyone that has helped improve this model!
Here are the v2 update notes: - Magnets are no longer required for assembly (now only screws are required) - I also uploaded a variant titled (v2 - Front Plate Magnets) that still uses magnets on the Front Plate if you would like to be able to easily swap out the Front Plate without disassembling the entire speaker housing. - Decreased the amount of support material needed for the Main Housing - Improved tolerances on the Front Plate cutout (some people were having issues with it not fitting around their Google Home Mini) - Added a tongue-and-groove alignment guide to the Upper and Lower Clamp pieces - If you have already printed the old version (v1) and are looking for the old assembly guide, I have uploaded it as a downloadable PDF in the files section.
Check out the model listing on Printables and Makerworld.

This was a relatively simple holder for a Roland vinyl cutter; initially it required just 3D printed parts, some M3 screws and a spring from an old pen.
Despite the progressive upgrades here, the quality of the cutout didn’t increase because version 1 had the key features that make detailed cutting possible anyway:

• high rigidity: to ensure there’s no wobble from the resistance of the blade dragging across the surface
• low and close centre of mass: keeping the cutting blade as close to the X gantry helps eliminate torsion and skew from the cuts. I saw the biggest difference in quality from moving the mount directly onto the gantry instead of stuck to the side of the 3D printer hotend.
• spring loaded vertical movement: to account for irregularities in the print bed surface and apply a slight amount of pressure to the cutting surface. Your average 3D printer bed is not flat enough to cut on.

Version 2 simply made the spring pressure adjustable by adding a 3D printed screw on the top that could be tightened or loosened (heat transfer vinyl needs lower pressure than permanent vinyl, for example).
Version 3 makes it much easier to swap between cutting/drawing/foil stamping tips by removing the need for careful tolerances in the 3D printed parts. Version 1 and 2 needed the housing to be just large enough to hold the cutter, but still snug enough that it could only move vertically and not wiggle around. Printing it too tight and sanding it to fit was the only way. By moving the responsibility for vertical movement to a linear rail, the tool can be screwed down as tightly as you want.
Between each of these revisions, cutting accuracy didn’t actually improve; just the ease of use. The example cutout in the last photo was actually done with version 1. Version 1 could cut to approx. 200micron accuracy, and with some trial and error, down to ~120 micron details. Version 3 couldn’t do any better. Initially I wasn’t sure why the accuracy wasn’t going up, but then I remembered a 3D printer is a glorified hot glue gun; 200 micron detail is plenty to compete with a Cricut/Silhouette for most tasks.
The STL for version 2 can be found here
Version 3 fits the spirit of “functional” but I’m not happy with how ugly it looks. Plus I want to add a printed gate(?) to hold the tool in rather than needing to use screws every time you swap it out.
The other thing that makes a huge difference with cutting is what you use to generate the GCode. Cura (and probably Prusa/Orcaslicer) can import SVGs but they don’t add the important offsets needed to account for the fact that the drag knife swivels around a diameter of 0.9mm. That makes sharp corners impossible and small shapes get mushed and can’t be removed. You have to use something like Inkcut or GCodePlot for Inkscape, but I found those a bit janky to use so I wrote my own solution (Which is also pretty janky to be fair)
