Enjoyed reading this one. Hubby got kiddo a 3-D printer as well and he has been loving it. Beautiful things can be made. Looking forward to seeing your progress.

In our world's rush to automate and commoditize everything, the user interfaces are becoming neglected.
Human beings are still some of the best user interfaces for other human beings. Thanks for sharing your experience. |

I look forward to learning if these files become available for individual purchase.

Also, are there any plans to translate any of the Cardboard Heroes to STL files?

Re: January 7, 2022: Now I'm 3D Printing (Part 1)
The problem is, that 3D printing is literally another hobby. Synergistic with my current ones, but another whole hobby nonetheless.
And I have too many hobbies as it is... |

The more you begin working with 3D printers the more uses like this you find for them. I've designed a better coaster for my drinks; made storage boxes/trays for card games; made a housing for a circuit board for a repurposed tablet (turned the tablet into a monitor using a control board; the housing not only has the main circuit board but also the button board and buttons for the monitor controls). I've made dice towers. I've made wall art. I made stands for my Star Trek & Star Wars Micro Machines. Miniatures are just one of the things I've used my printer for. Unfortunately, at this point I only have a FDM printer, not a SLA. FDM printers are better for large solid objects, not as good for minis. I've gotten some decent minis out of my printer, but I'll never get great minis like you can with an SLA printer.

Jame - We probably won't translate many of the Cardboard Heroes directly into miniatures, but we're definitely going to be using some of them as "concept art."
