Something of a Maze

Whilst waiting for the frames to be printed out, which should not take too long with my small army of printers, I took the time to do a quick inventory of what I have to hand.   I know that I have other modelling supplies like XPS foam, Cardboard, Glue, Brushes, Pipe Cleaners, Paper, Metal Wire, BBQ Skewers, Household Paints, etc, and those things are all pretty obvious.  If need be, I can photograph them as and when I dig them out of the roof storage.

I am hopeful that I have almost everything I need here, or at least the ability to create anything I need.   Maybe I can do this on a relatively small budget.

At the moment, I am thinking of an area of about 3′ x 3′.

Many of the skirmish games I enjoy playing take place on relatively small playing areas.  3-foot square is a nice size as it gives room around the table for all the tokens, measuring implements and rule books used whilst playing, meaning that none of that clutter gets left on the corners of the table.

I am fortunate enough to have a 4′ x 9′ table set up in our games room.  It is made simply from kitchen units.  In the cupboards beneath it are my army of filament printers; the resin printers are in the garage workshop.

For anyone interested, I was using 6 printers, ranging from a simple Creality Ender 3 through to a huge Elegoo printer that had to sit on top of a table.  In the end, I updated all my printers to K1 max’s.  The benefit of having all the same type is that I now only need one set of surplus parts and tools.

Having them all hidden away is nice too, as it now means that I have full use of the table.  I can potentially fit 4 large printers on either side beneath the table for a total of 8.  Although at the moment I have one cupboard full of filament that I keep topped up.
