30th August: Rapunzel.
In 1862 in Northern Virginia, however, Major General John Pope was about to get his long awaited comeuppance. Lee was ready to take the offensive against the man he had come to despise, for his over confident bombast and disregard and disrespect of Virginia and the men he had come east to command.
Not heeding his subordinates’ requests for caution, Pope tried once again to break Jackson’s battered Corps(one Brigade did break, but others plugged the gap). On the union far left were only two brigades of Infantry and they were to be assailed by ten times their number. Three Southern Divisions, Hood’s, Kemper’s and Jones’ crashed onto the field, making short work of the outnumbered Northern troops.
Pope did well to recognise the danger when it appeared and sent four Brigades from three different Divisions to hold at Henry House Hill on his left. Remember this was ground fought over 13 months ago, by much the same men and officers, although most were now promoted.
This time around there would be no rout. Understandably, there was much jubilation on the side of the Southerners and a great loss of morale on the Northern side. This sense of martial superiority, begun last Summer at 1st Manassas, was to continue and come to a head on the field of Gettysburg another Summer from now.
Cool 3d printer for making axis and allies pieces….one at a time...for $1,500!

you could easily convert this to print 50 pieces off at a time.
Imagine printing a small table. It starts with the legs right? and there are four of them, no base required, and four independant points will build up until the table top is complete.
Now imagine scanning a bunch of pieces placed out in formation, instead of scanning 1 piece at a time. You could then go and print everything at once.
Only question… where do you buy the plastic cartridges (Ink if you will)? and how good is the quality of the plastic you buy?
-
That printer could theoretically print parts for another printer.
-
as long as they’re not moving parts. Yes. Think T-1000.
-
You could easily scan multiple pieces and have them altogther and then cut them out
-
Thats pretty damn cool. Not that expensive either. I wonder how much refills for the plastic are?

@The:

That is what I was thinking. Scan your unit and edit or design it up connected together with ‘flashing’ you’d later trim by hand and you theoretically should be able to get multiple models from a single print run.
-
I have looked into this. I don’t think this machine can give you the quality needed to make such small parts.
-
What scale can it do 1:10,1:5,1:1?
Imagine that life sized AAA
