3D Printed Terrain



Back in June for Father's Day my kids picked up a Bambu Labs A1 Mini 3D printer. I had a beginner one years ago and it was always more of a pain in effort than an actual printed item - wow have things changed. The A1 Mini has all the same tech as the bigger models from Bambu Labs - it just has a smaller bed size and not as high of a z-axis. However, you can still print some pretty good size pieces and it prints amazing. Find a model - hit the print button - done.

This model I found from Bambu Lab's sharing archive called Maker World - this model is:

I used the same painting technique as I did for the Lord of the Rings terrain piece - using the airbrush to spray it black and then from a 12-o'clock with a medium gray, then stipple the green, etc. The only difference being painting the ring of rocks red with a magic blue shard and green crystal shard to give it some character.

I'll have more posts in the future about 3D printing as well.
