3D Printed Axis and Allies Board Game Pieces Available

@IWillNeverGrowUp look good I placed my first order. Spewing I ordered before you posted the italian self propelled guns.

Sadly the Semovente’s we listed were not a great color (I like it myself, but it’s nowhere near a real brown) and we’ve got a new brown coming in this week.

Also, we’re going to keep adding to the lineup as we can and this process will take time! I refuse to simply take a pre-made file (many of which can be found online for free) and sell the printed product from that. Every piece is being 100% recreated from the ground up!

If I would suggest anything seaplanes and minor tanks. Ie filling the gap others don’t do.
Keep them coming, what else are you planning

I’m also working on getting aircraft to print well enough to use. Outside of bombers it’s been tough to get them right so far. Never considered sea planes, but I’ll look into it.

@IWillNeverGrowUp hi I was trying to place an order today but noticed the T70 stock was only 2 and the back order of semovente. How does the back order work and shipping and any idea when you may have more t70.

Printing more T70’s right and I should be putting Semovente’s up in the shop by the end of the week.
The 3D Printers are running 24/7 right now to build up stock (and keep up with those that are selling).

@Grintch said in 3D Printed Axis and Allies Board Game Pieces Available:

Yes, my requests would be along similar lines. I like specific sculpts for special technology and/or house rules units. And this drives most of my buying of aftermarket units.

As an ongoing project we’ll get there eventually. These things take time and we started small to see if there would be any demand at all and have been increasing the offerings from there. It also takes time to produce new sculpts, new prints and keep up with the already high demand for the prints we have now.

But number 1, tell us the actual dimensions rather than just “approximately 20 x 10mm”. Because if both the French light tank and the French heavy tank are the same size, I won’t want them both. I might not want either if they are the same size as the OOB medium.

Sizing has been removed from this post and updated in our web store on the page for each sculpt.

Since these sculpts are flowing so fancy free like popcorn, can you make a 25-30 sculpt set of World War 1 miniatures?

I can submit a list

These sculpts have taken months and many are still being worked on. :)

You’re welcome to submit a list, though there is no guarantee of getting them done (least of all soon).

Pulling all of the Italian pieces for quality issues. Going to do a re-design and re-test. I have a feeling the filament being used is not the best either (our lighter brown pieces came out phenomenal, but the “wrong” color).

@Call77 said in 3D Printed Axis and Allies Board Game Pieces Available:

@IWillNeverGrowUp yeah there is something going on they are definitely not as good as the others

Yup. I’m about 80% sure it’s this particular brand and/or color of filament. I’m doing some trouble shooting to see where it’s gone wrong on those.

ITALIAN PIECES UPDATE:

Alright, it’s 100% the dark brown filament. I ran a series of test prints with that and another, lighter brown, using the exact same settings and file and the lighter brown works.

It’s not the color I want as it doesn’t match (even relatively close) OOB pieces, but it works. I’m going to get a different brand on Monday to try out and see if I can’t get closer to the right brown.

Color sample that works;

versus the color I wanted;

@IWillNeverGrowUp they look good. I’m not fussed on the colour I paint mine

Understood, but not all do. I’m going to go ahead and produce some in this other brown over the weekend though while I await the new filament.
