Hi all,
I am going to make a video when I get some free time to post here for Patreons.
I think there is enough printer reviewers to last us (and the next 5 generations ) a lifetime on youtube, so thats not an area i'm particularly interested in getting into. I see no point in reviewing printers 10,000 people have reviewed , so with the exception of the new Color machine im testing, what sort of video would appeal to you guys the mo...

The Level 3 folders have been reorganized, and the standard TFO Storm Trooper helmet is now uploaded also. Had some more internet woes this week but the technician fixed it yesterday, turns out my ADSL splitter box was just on its last legs, so back to full steam now.
Darth suit is uploading now, the helmet still need to get my third revision done so I can get your opinion on which of the 3 looks more accurate. Not much different between them, ...

Since I have already printed this thing and know where its problems are I am going to modify it somewhat for you guys and also add some more detailing I didn't add before I wished I had. This will be suitable for FDM to SLA printers, it will also have the 7mb easy print version and the big sucker 300mb version for those with the resin printers (on an FDM they print identical, its only when you go below 0.1mm and you want all that extra detail rea...

Ok, I have pretty much wrapped up everything for upload (internet back to normal now also) Vader Helmet is currently only item left to finish but that can come a bit later I guess, I will get everything else ready for you today.
I thought I would just quickly post a list of what's coming rather than spend precious time making a flashy photoshop image..
So.. whats coming

Hi all,
Well, Vader is completed, just doing assembly images and all the clean up work, test slicing etc. So all on track for that I would say tomorrow,
Some of you may have seen the pic I posted on the facebook page for the technicolor elephant. It is a very easy print but just a long one, and something you can do over time if you want to use up those scraps of filament.
This is for all Patrons, it is part of the next print ...

But, that turned out to be a good thing because I looked at it and it was crap and let the rest of the suit down. So, I made a new one quickly and its going up into the pack right now. There is only really one spec I've seen for this and that is the inner cylinder is 6cm in diameter, the length of ...

Well, it turns out if I walk about 10 minutes North on our property, I get a reasonable cell phone coverage..
I live on 56 acres, and it's very hilly, so down where we live near the river gets very little reception, nowhere near enough to tether but in a fit of desperation I took a walk around and tried to get anything and eventually managed to get a few bars of 3G.
I have been told the technician will be here on the 12th of...

Sorry guys! I really am, but this ones out of my control.
They are telling me now 1-3 days for the technician to come out to the main telecoms box and check out the line fault.
We live pretty remote so getting things done out here takes a while.
I have tried PC's, laptops, spare routers, ipads, iphones, raspberry pi's.. you name it.. not one device will upload a thing - they all are at 0mbps upload, so I know it's not an issue...

No reason for any delays other than compiling a very big chunk of models for this week and some very slow upload speeds.. but while im waiting for that I'll just keep making more things too upload... :)
Well, it was a long day but I managed to get 99% of the Darth Vader armor done, literally all I have left to do is the Chest pack and its done (I left that till last as it was the easiest part really) (I would attach an im...

Sorry for the lateness guys, been a bit exhausted last couple days, uploads have been as slow as 9kbs (no idea why, have called telco, they are gonna send someone over next week to check the box up the road) but yeah the files are slowly but surely filtering through.

I was going over some reference photos of the Executioner helmet and really, I had gotten so much wrong it would have been silly to even have anyone print it because the mouth section was completely off. I had the wrong number of spines, the hexagonal was inverted.. argh.. so yeah I had to go back to square one and redo all the mouth section completely.
The small buckles (the 4 that go around the head) are separate too of course and not in the ...

Hey all,
Very sorry but due to some family stuff I have to take a couple of days, literally two days... not planned, but don't have much choice. I really was busting my ass to get everything finished off before I left but it's just not gonna happen and honestly for the sake of a couple of days there is no point rushing it and then having to fix up my mess later.

Hey everyone!
I figured I would make the Storm trooper executioner version of the helmet, I just need to add the cut in the top dome where it is painted black and it's done, so both helmets will be in the pack.
Our weather has been pretty severe, some days reaching 45c /115f which can be unbearable in my workshop so trying to get as much done in the night time when it's cooler, so just bare with me a little, even with the air con o...

I am just triple checking all the emails correspond from Patreon to the email groups, we had alot of new members sign up this last month and I just want to make sure everyone gets the emails.
When I press send, I will post an update here so until you see that , it's won't appear in your email. It's not an automated thing, I have to do it manually and normally I'd be on top of it but admittedly was swamped under a bit.
stay tuned!

Ok, im actually back on board now... honestly, the last week has been just so incredibly busy I'm sort of glad it's over. Christmas, New years, my wifes birthday tomorrow.... it's just been crazy.

If you read the last update, you might have seen me mention my daughter got whooping cough even after being immunized against it. The good news, she's getting much better.. the bad news is we ALL had to go on antibiotics so we don't spread it as it can incubate and not affect you but you can still pass it onto others (merry christmas hey.... /smh)
Long story short, those antibiotics are just evil and i've had just about every side affect ...

Hey everyone!
Firstly my lack of activity has not been in vain, I've been very busy trying to get a load of models all finished up in time for Xmas for you all, and along the way in making the next Printweek issue, I thought I would throw in a few extras on the way to X-mas, so this is not in place of the Printweek releases, this is just an extra, everything is still as normal.
I'll try and get as many of these small packs out in the nex...

Well, I hear you all.. we love Star wars but it's not everything!
Well, this has always sort of been my personal philosophy anyway. As much as I love a good Jedi battle, being born in the late 70's and having the majority of my childhood shaped by 80's sci-fi and adventure/action movies there is so much more than starwars models I want to create. Now, this doesn't mean I still wont make them - of course I will but everything wo...

There was going to be a couple of hiccups for sure on the first one, but now that it's sorted I can speed things up somewhat now.

Total oversight on my part. When you sign up for Patreon there is a "No Reward option, and regardless of what you donate, it puts your email way down the list at the bottom below the $1 subscription list.

Firstly welcome to the new Patreons, we are now at 71 coming closer to that Xmas goal of 100!
Next issue preview is coming along, I decided to throw more parts in for the TFA storm trooper kit in so it can be done in a few issues rather than four as it's ready to go no point in having it sitting here. This also includes parts with and without the buckle/clips as I know some people were after those.
