It can tear a hole in your FEP your film, and then all that resin can leak inside your machine. It can pull off the build plate and splash down into the resin VAT, or So what do you kind of have to do is – like, if this was the build plate, you can’t just print it like this, because it might mess up, and it’s constantly moving up and down – i showed you in the last video – and sucking off layers of hardened resin from the bottom of the VAT, and the larger the surface that’s on the build plate, the more (sucking sound, akin to how badly Starling Games sucks) suckage there is, and that can bog the thing down. And it doesn’t do very well with flat surfaces, which posed a problem, because this entire insert is just flat surfaces. And the way a 3d resin printer likes to operate is it doesn’t really enjoy things that are parallel to the build plate. So i set about trying to print one of the small boxes on my resin printer. – and this will be a great video for you to figure out, along with me, what those advantages and disadvantages are. Now between FDM and resin printers, they both have their advantages and disadvantages – pluses and minuses. i own a 3d resin printer, and that works a little bit differently than a standard FDM printer that you might be more familiar with.

The designer, unserfamily, has obviously taken this Indiana Jones-inspired stuff to heart, and design the insert so that looks like a whole pile of crates, harkening back to – spoiler alert – the last shot in Raiders of the Lost Ark, where they take the Ark of the Covenant in a big crate, and they just put it in a warehouse packed with crates upon crates upon crates, and who knows what amazing artifacts are in those crates? Man, what a great idea for an insert, and it looks absolutely fantastic! i couldn’t believe it! And i was so excited to print this thing! But there was a problem. That can’t be too exciting, can it? Well, when i click this thing, check it out. You need to always click on every single thing and delve through the files and the photos, because you could be missing out on something really, really special. And i downloaded those files, and i was about to go on my merry way and try to print that insert.īut here’s an important tip about Thingiverse: don’t judge a book by its cover. Little boxes… you put the things in the boxes… looks fine. That looks like a normal insert that you’d make for any board game. i clicked on it, and look: it looks very capable. The first thing that caught my eye was this one. It’s a fairly new game, so there’s not a whole lot out there for it. Or… doctor, i’m a cooze…? i don’t even know.) Onward! So i went to Thingiverse and i looked for an insert for Lost Ruins of Arnak. (Of course, i suppose it could be Doctor Imacus. But of course, i should have done it in the video. i actually thanked drimacus on boardgamegeek for making those files. That file designer was drimacus, who you can find on boardgamegeek. i forgot to give credit to the file designer. And you know what? i’m going to correct a little error i made in the last video. Those walnuts came from a site called Thingiverse, which is a place where 3d designers can make stuff, and then put the files on Thingiverse for all to enjoy. If you watched the first two episodes of Bits, Please! you’ll know that i purchased a 3d resin printer, and i used it to print some cool walnut resource containers for Everdell. Some are out of wood, some are out of foam core, and you can buy those and happily put them together in your box. Wouldn’t it be great if i could have an insert for Lost Ruins of Arnak? And of course, there are many aftermarket companies who will make inserts for you. i HATE it! i don’t like setting this game up, i don’t like tearing it down. You got to shuffle a few decks, and you got to kind of peel the cards out, and you have to make sure that when you put it away, you would split all the different cards that will go into individual players’ starting decks apart… it’s just, like, just a… baggie nightmare.

Bleh!Īnd somebody’s written on the score sheet… No – it doesn’t come like that. i mentioned in the video that this game is no fun whatsoever to try to set up and tear down, because everything is in a bazillion different baggies. I mentioned in that video – first that it’s upside down. Let’s take a look at what that problem is.

i did a Find the Fun review on it, and the Scales of Funstice helped me declare it fun, without a shadow of a doubt. Hi, it’s Ryan from Nights Around a Table, and i’m about to print an insert for Lost Ruins of Arnak that will blow your mind! Coming up on the next thrilling episode of Bits, Please! (Sick 80’s guitar riff) Bits, Please!
