Sprue rack. Ran this while I was working today. #3DPrinting #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts

AuDHD, old timer ttrpg gamer, bad video gamer, even worse war gamer, costumer, filker, okay mini painter, crafter, 3D print enthusiast, occultist, DSA member, and capacity planning analyst for pay. This might be a bumpy ride. Don't be a dick.
Not all #3DPrinting is a success right off the build plate. Some models are hot garbage. Some look good, but are a pain in the ass. This is the latter. It took a crap load of physical sanding & trimming to get the screw top working. #StarTrek #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
GDubs provided two different head options on the free Ork sprues. They look like those poor kids who's parents make them wear the same outfits instead of twins now. #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
My bestie didn't want his Ork from free mini day today. I now own two extra Ork Boyz for my army. #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
My phone's weather widget only has space for two numbers. So it is saying that it's 10 F (-12 C) when it's really 102 F (39 C). I may need a different widget. #Humor #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
A coworker & friend who runs a printer farm had some filament that he wasn't using. He kindly freecycled it to me. He specializes in shiny toys & basic colors don't sell well for him. I print utility & gaming stuff for my use. Basic colors are perfect for me. #3DPrinting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
The downstairs tiny loo (no it is not bigger on the inside) is repaired and the #DrWho decorations are all up. We did the drywall and paint ourselves. I'm pretty sure I will be finding drywall dust in weird corners of the basement for ages. #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
As part of the loo repairs, I took down & binned the decals. The walls were nakey & my 1 piece of art wasn't enough. Since it's #DrWho themed, I decided to #3Dprint a shelf for my lil TARDIS. The first time changing the scale failed. Too small. I printed a thing to fill it. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
It's laugh or cry time and I prefer laughter. I was thinking about this Cyclospora outbreak caused by pre-prepared lettuce and salad kits. This would be the one time in my life that my hatred of iceberg lettuce literally saved my ass. #Humor #FoodSafety #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
In between bigger items; I've been #3DPrinting crafting bits. Mostly just #Warhammer40K & the #Romani chakra (cart wheel) for now. Some for gifts. Some for me. Nothing is for sale. Not all hobbies need to be monetized. Also; cultural items are for that culture, not others. #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
The more false info we use, the easier it is for people to disregard us and the bad guys to get away with shit. Keep fighting, but verify the facts before sharing anything. Even an exaggeration is a falsity. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. #Politics #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
A lot of beginner #Warhammer kits come with these little mould line removers. They do a decent job, but are a pain in the ass to use due to not having handles. #3DPrinting fixed that. Probably shoulda used black filament tho. #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
Congratulations. We have hit the "printing silly shit" stage of #3DPrinting. This ran while I finished painting the final coat on my bathroom walls. #Tentacles #Cthulhu #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
This one was a little heavy on the filament, but I liked how it looked and I'm pleased with the result. No more paint pots sitting all over random shelves. I did get some painting done this weekend, but it was the bathroom walls and not minis. #MiniaturePainting #3DPrinting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
1. More declutter progress, another box of goodies went to my #TTRPG group & I've been mailing little things out to friends all over. More threadbare clothes have been binned & good clothes bagged for donations. Two tubs of junk has also been binned. #3DPrinting #DailyLife #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
Big project is big. I've been printing the parts for this for most of a week. Since I play/GM more than #DnD, I made a variant designed more for storage than tracking your stats for you. #TTRPG #3DPrinting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
Enjoyed my "Gentile" (Yes, they call Jews Gentiles here.) Pie & Beer Day alternative to the Utah LDS Pioneer Day. (Which is their party shindig outside of Xmas.) Got my #TTRPG group to participate in the pie part, with some having beer of the root variety. #Utah #Humor #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
Due to early blossoms and a late hard freeze, I was convinced we wouldn't get any peaches off the tree this year. I was mistaken. The blossoms survived. Nothing quite like a freshly picked peach still warm from the sun. #DailyLife #Gardening #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
When you use one hobby to build organization for another hobby. Lots of little skulls and skelingtons for basing. Seriously debating building a servoskull for my desktop speaker. Audiobooks and podcasts will never be the same. #MiniaturePainting #Warhammer40K #3DPrinting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
People who choose AI as their creative output: - hate people and having to work with them - are all hat and no cattle, which is to say, they have "ideas" but don't want to even learn the work to implement them - hate the craft itself, and care only about content, about product, about "end results"
I may have fallen down the Gridfinity rabbit hole. This is bringing organization to my #MiniaturePainting tool storage. Not only can I see everything better, but it compressed 1.5 drawers of stuff into 1 drawer. #3DPrinting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
G Dubs REALLY REALLY wanted to make sure that my free Warhammer+ mini didn't get damaged. #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
Somebody has their nameplate now. It was the first name that came to mind when the software asked me to name my printer. I should rename the laser that's currently covered in Jewish Space Laser Corps stickers EVE. #3DPrinting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
While home with an unpleasant tummy, I completed my tool board. It has the tools and bits for both the printer and my existing laser etcher. I also included space for a few mascots. #3DPrinting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
Other than 1 or 2 fun things, I am spending the bulk of my first bit printing stuff for my workspace. SKADIS wall, check. SKADIS accessories, in progress. Filament rack, in queue. After that, some storage solutions for my #MiniaturePainting & crafting space. #3Dprinting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
The fact that explosive diarrhea has been linked to Taco Bell absolutely tracks. LOL! #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts www.cnn.com/2026/07/16/h...

As much fun as 3D printing is, the waste is a worry. I'm in luck. We have a local PLA recycler that is working on getting set up for PETG, ABS, ASA, and TPU. My 'printer poop', supports, etc. can be saved for recycling. I feel less guilty about my hobby, now. #3DPrinting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
These are because I like to put my #Tarot cards on stands for my personal readings, wanted something less bulky than my existing stands, and needed them to also be compatible with my color block/deck of many colors cards for #MiniaturePainting. #WitchyShit #3DPrinting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
My first actual project on the new printer. The box is bigger than the bed was on my old printer. Magnetic dice storage and tray for #Battletech Because I magnetize my bases, I already had the correct size of magnets. #3Dprinting #ChaoticQueer #GeekCrafts
