Fat Dragon Games Adds New Sets To The Dragonlock 2 Kickstarter
September 26, 2016 by stvitusdancern
Fat Dragon Games' Kickstarter for Dragonlock 2 keeps chugging along as it has blown the doors of its funding goal and had been trying to keep up with add-ons and stretch goals. They have now included a few new sets like the marketplace, sewers, village ruins, and a windmill.
If you are not familiar with this campaign, it is for a modular fantasy terrain set that you can print yourself on your very own 3D printer.
This is their second campaign for the Dragonlock terrain system, the first being for a Dungeon. I have been impressed by their products since I first got a chat with them at last year's Gen Con. Many of you may know them from their paper terrain.
I think it is an obvious next step in the hobby of terrain making. Here at the US BoW Studio, we are testing the practicality of 3D printing for tabletop gaming and we have just ordered our second 3D printer to help us in our research.
With that aside, this campaign is looking very promising and I am excited to see what additional add-ons they come out with. There is currently fifteen more days left for this campaign at the time of this article. Why not hop on over to their Kickstarter page and take a look for yourself.
Do you think our hobby is ready for 3D printing?

Having just got a 3d printer the issues currently are that any reasonable bit of terrain will take hours and hours to print and one error and you get to start again. So a cottage could take a day to print.
The resolution is fine for terrain but consumer priced printers are not up to printing figures as the lines are visible.
Also printers are still for the tinkerer as they still require lots of fiddling around to work.
@aea007 Have absolutely no knowledge of 3D printers but in your experience, how common are printing errors currently???
