Scythe Legendary Insert - All Expansions by ThePolymath
An Insert for the Scythe Legendary Box. Thank you Very Much to the people who sent a few dollars my way to support my work. It is much appreciated. Will fit: Scythe the Base Game Invaders from Afar The Wind Gambit Rise of Fenris Encounters The modular Board (will fit if you replace the original board) Also: Compatible with Plastic or Metal Mechs (they are different in size) Sleeved cards All the Rule books There are 2 coin boxes that can accommodate half the coins each, that way you can have a box on each side of the table. Use 3 perimeters when slicing the models for best results. *Only print the file "Territories_-Encounters-_V2.stl" if you have the "Modular Board" Expansion. You can watch a video showing all the details here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wqd86spL5Z8&t=72s Thanks goes to: Fringe for inspiring the way the coins are laid out in his design available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2551923

Joe’s Rant on Anycubic 3D PLA Printers…

Neptune 3 Max
ELEGOO Neptune 3 Max FDM 3D Printer with Auto Bed Leveling, Dual-Gear Direct Extruder, Ultra-Quiet Printing, Dual Lead Screw Drive, Massive Printing Size 420x420x500mm³ /16.53x16.53x19.68 In³   【Dual-Gear Direct Extruder】The dual-gear direct drive extruder with gears made of SUS303 stainless steel features adjustable extrusion force and a 3:1 reduction ratio, which ensures smoother filament feeding and stable & accurate printing, significantly reducing nozzle clogging and gear jumping problems. Ideal for printing PLA, PETG, ABS, and flexible filaments such as TPU.   【Massive Print Volume】With the largest ever build volume of 420x420x500 mm /16.53x16.53x19.68 inches, ELEGOO Neptune 3 Max gives you generous printing space to let your creativity run wild, whether for printing larger models, or printing in batches.   【Auto Bed Leveling + Auxiliary Leveling】The non-contact high precision sensor automatically scan 63 points of the hotbed to compensate for any unevenness and inconsistencies of the printing platform. You can also use the hand-twist knobs under the build platform for auxiliary leveling to achieve a perfect first layer.   【Stable & Quiet Printing】The Z-axis is designed with dual lead screws and dual-motor drive for more stable and precise movement of the print head, and the double tie rod structure enhances the stability of the Z-axis gantry. With an STM 32-bit silent motherboard, the X/Y/Z/E axes are all driven by high-precision stepper motors to effectively reduce the printing noise under 50 dB.   【PEI Magnetic Platform】PEI magnetic platform with a special coating and spring steel sheet for solid adhesion and anti-warping, so you can easily remove or eject the print models by slightly bending the print steel sheet. The 420W high-power hotbed can quickly heat up to 100°C.   【Removable Capacitive Touchscreen】The 4.3-inch removable magnetic capacitive touch screen can be operated by hand-held or fixed on the base, with a print model preview function to preview the model image during printing, and observe the printing progress, supporting multi-language freely switch.There also comes with a drawer toolbox on the machine base to store tools used by the printer such as Allen wrench and nozzle accessories.
