To note, I didn't make this. I just happened across it in looking at something else and really thought it was good.

Since its specifically a model of the shield of the hidden lord for the knights of the shield, I figured people here might appreciate this.

Aw thanks. I used to make all sorts of content. There's stuff on there going back to 2011. I always wanted to do a D&D thing (would have been easy to nab some viral fame) but I feel that I left most of my youtuber juice on the floor of my high school years. Too busy running games instead! XD
Good thread is good. |

Odd. Here's a direct link.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZjRpYqZri0&t=491s
The video has a description about the encounter at the start, and the rest of the video is a haphazard pile of the auditory nightmare fuel I put together that day. It's just about half a dozen tracks of audio in Audacity with a variety of audio effect processing. It's from back at college. |

I never received that link. You still up for sending it my way?

Learned Scribe PattPlays,
I actually am curious about hearing that. Do you have a URL to that recording?

The other players hear nothing of that or you play for them a file that says "your friend the thief has started giving you strange looks"
Players seem to always appreciate audio ques.
I had a whole conversation (which turned violent) with myself over my phone's voice recorder before a session and played it when a party leaned down to eavesdrop on the building their target was in when we played OOTA in Mantol Derith. I also recorded some serious nonsense audio to fill a dungeon chamber with Gibbering Mouther foreshadowing.
Anyone want to hear that? XD |

You can rescale the digital model to any size you like, within print hardware limits. Minor modifications usually won't affect resolution quality. And decorative objects can be cleaned up or surfaced all sorts of ways.

That seems to waste a bit of plastic. I don't have a 3d printer so can the stuff you cut off be re-melted and reused in another print job?
In theory, yes.
Any plastic polymer can be recycled. And it's not that hard to do if it's a uniform polymer. (The main obstacle in real-life plastic recycling is separating the visually similar but chemically different types. Plastics are much like metals, insofar as there's a variety of fundamentally different kinds with different properties, along with an endless variety of composites, mixes, blends, and alloys designed to provide specific material properties.)
In practice, no.
Few people will have temperature-controlled pressure-controlled melting vats to dump their plastic pellets into. (Not to mention the goodly collection of additives - binders, solvents, stabilizers, perfumes, etc - needed to replicate consistent batch qualities.)
Most 3D printers require feed plastics from specific spool formats which haven't been chemically "cured" by previous melts and which aren't easy (cheap) to reproduce on small scale equipment. 3D printers are also hideously expensive so owners are wary about (re)using feed materials which don't meet strict specifications or which might contain contaminants.
So the vast majority of printed objects end up being discarded once they've filled (or failed) their purpose.
Although many printed objects are made with (cheap) low-density "biodegradable" plastic stocks, unless different (costly) plastics need to be selected for durability or for other physical properties. |

No, but you can modify the 3d STL file before printing. Plastic costs next to nothing though. Its more that it takes forever to print anything, so make sure its what you want before doing so (that being said, my 3d printer is almost 6 years old, and there's newer and better stuff out there). |

Senior Scribe Delnyn,
Great reference. I love him as a character in Tethyr. I had him running as a background "villain" (whatever that means) in my Tethyr campaign. He's yet to even be discovered as a guy in the background of things thus far in any of the iterations I've run it, but it is fun using him. :)
Best regards,

Sweet stuff. Now to get a miniatureof Lord Inselm Hhune to put next to the Shield. |

Senior Scribe TheIriaeban,
I thought the same thing myself, but I've yet to even utilize 3D printing personally, so I don't know. Some friends of mine have complained that non-standing items, like a shield, can use up a bit of plastic to keep them from breaking.
Best regards,

Great Reader sleyvas,
That is awesome. That would be perfect to put on top of a character three-ring binder. It would just perfectly crown it I think.
