**First 3D Prints and a wooden watch tower.**

1. The first print, _ **Warning** _: this silliness takes 4 hours to print. Don’t let it be your test print if you’re eager to start printing.

2. Thanks to @Dr.Strangelove’s excellent advice, my dirt cheap resin print curing station. A UV Light and a cheapie display rotating table. I like how the camera picks up the light more violet than my eye does.

3. My first fail. I split my D4 test incorrectly. Funny thing is I did this as it was so simple.

1. Gravestones I printed and painted already. Nice addition. Also a stirge, a mind flayer pirate, a cauldron monster might be related to Oscar the Grouch; a demon. A printer ladder for the wooden watch tower in the background
2. Printed Rope Ladder
3. The wooden watchtower I threw together yesterday. Cheap dowels, tongue depressors and some Elmer’s Glue.
