GTE 077 -- Terrain Blocks 

I was scrolling past the videos and saw the thumbnail... I said hey that looks like my stairs. :). I go by sable badger on thingiverse. Thanks for the mention, and glad you liked the models. I like what you came up with for the stackers. Nice work! Edited to add... I took your advice and I have been making a bunch of new stacker designs. Thanks for the nudge.

Great work btw!

So after just going through and watching videos on occasion, I have to comment years after you post. If you paint your foam with a light layer for your base, you can then wait like 30 minutes and glue all your pieces without melting your foam with super glue and not deal with the wait and moving about when bumped after glueing. I get a lot more tiles done when crafting. I do have a 3-D printer and obviously don't use it for this. I love the look and detail of buildings, however with 3-D printing.

Do not just power off the printer. Power it on again so the fan can work. If you power it off, heat can creap up, past the heatbreak and melt filament in all the wrong places. :-) Edit: good comparation video. There is one thing you can do to save time, sleep while the printer works. With foam you can easily affect the result, cutting and hacking. I'm normally all about 3D printing, but foam is good too.

Well done!

Awesome!

I posted some final photos of all the blocks painted and arranged to form a complex 3D dungeon area. You can check it out on my Game Terrain Engineering Facebook page here - facebook.com/groups/252832065563012/

Question: The proxxon makes the process easier and faster to a degree. How many do you think you could cut and put together by hand just using a knife and no proxxon in that same 3+ hrs it took to print the stacker block?

Good work there Sir! I'm at a disadvantage that I don't have access to either a 3D printer or the type of foan you use. I live in India, and many of these stuffs are either not available or crazy expensive(for people like me). But I love how people like you make it and I get to learn from it. Thank you! Also I was wondering if you could, in the next video, showcase the Colosseum type structure that's on the top shelf behind you on the right side of the frame.. maybe a quick build steps series of photos if you have. OR, if you can explain how to come up with the joint movement mechanism for the At-At walker. I intend to make one out of cardboard but the joint mechanism is something I've been trying to figure out for a while now. I'm not an Engineering or Arts student so I find some things a little hard to understand at first.. any way you could help will be awesome. Thankyou!

Fun video. I just wonder what you use and how much goes unused?

can I ask why you put 1/2 inch squares at the edges? do you glue walls on your blocks or something?

Why didn't you scale up the prints to match your 4" squares? I usually try making things compatible because it's nice to mix and match stuff. You could print the top 3 steps for example and glue them to a 4" square to really cut down on print time. Your channel is great btw! I really like your ideas and techniques.

Seems technology for the sake of it to me - the foam worked out perfectly fine, was done quicker and cost less in electricity alone. A camera to watch a printer seems like overkill too! I guess it’s up to people how they spend their money but I prefer the hands on approach any day

I keep looking at those 3d printers... him.

Hello, I noticed you were printing on your prusa, and not the ender 3. I looked through your blog was curious as to how the ender 3 was working out for you. I am not sure if you have covered the machine in any youtube videos or the blog. I would your opinion on the ender 3.

If you make more, you might want to reinforce the pieces with some toothpicks for pins where you glue the pieces together. The end result is a lot stronger...

What are the apps and devices that you use to control the camera and shut off power via your phone?

Is it just me who doesnt see the links to other videos in the corner anymore when watching on my phone?

What is the difference in cost?

RP Archives is the best at doing blocks. Go and check his channel, mate...
