Ultramarine Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Hopefully all others have had a great Christmas and New Years break. I was super lucky to get this as a Christmas gift, from my family. After some assembly and fun with the terrible assembly instructions, my sons and I got this 3D printer built and printing. In the past I had to rely on others and my son to get the items I need/want printed… No more. This machine has been super fun to use and learn with over the break. In the past I had purchased some STL files for some tabletop war games, terrain. So, I started printing some alien looking trees for CAV. Above is a couple photos of a CAV model next to some of the prints. I can hardly believe how good they have come out. These are scaled down from the original size to better fit the CAV scale. Below is a picture of the original scale, next to the same model. The original scale is for larger scale games, 28mm or so. I am totally looking forward to printing off a forest of these in the smaller scale that looks better next to the CAV models. I also believe they will be a ton of fun to paint up in some bright mushroom colors. I will post up more pictures as this project progresses. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Baron Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Trees look fantastic! I think the original scale of trees can work too. Keep posting excited to see what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultramarine Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 I was able to get this items for the Badger printed off today. I am super excited about how good they came out. Now on to printing the missile tips and exhaust ducts, here is hoping that they come out just as good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultramarine Posted January 29, 2023 Author Share Posted January 29, 2023 The printer I have is a Creality, Ender 3 V2. I am sorry I didn’t see this post earlier. I was able to get a couple more buildings printed up for CAV. These should be fun to paint up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
