Another week is done with only a few miniatures completed to show for it. I had found these Mer-Man toys at Dollar Tree and thought I could use them as part of the Deep Elves army (Maybe the Deep Horror or Sea Servant). I rebased them using a wood circle and aquarium gravel (what else for water creatures) and repainted them with a blue tint to their skin. Add a seashell and a piece of aquarium plant then you are good to go.

Most of the week was spent troubleshooting the new OctoPi setup that I added to my Ender 3 Pro so I can print and monitor it from anywhere. I was having issues with a lot of resends and it was affecting the quality of the prints. After hours of trying new things and looking at solutions on the Internet, I got it working perfectly.

You can see my OctoPi in the back of the printer (follow the blue USB cable) in its clear case. My 1st ever 3D print (a white 3 shape test print that I created in TinkerCad) is mounted on the X-Axis motor and my 1st Benchy Print is on the top rail next to the filament holder.

It is hard to see since I am using black filament but the last True Tiles that I need for my Warlock’s Abode are on the printer right now. They should be done in a few hours. I already have printed out the scatter terrain for the project and it is being painted as the printer is going. Hopefully, next week’s update will have the completed dungeon laid out!

Keep on gaming!
