    Hahaha glad I’m not alone in trying to find something to print with a vast sea of printable files!
  • @tv9mpeti
    I really like how honest your videos are. Like you are not afraid to admit if a print of yours fail, but you also don't make a big thing out of it. I am not new to 3D printing, but I can imagine the vibe you give off would be really helpful. You don't feel like the "I am the expert and what I say is the ultimate way of doing this" kinda guy, but like one from the community who themself is learning together with their audience.
  • @ArsMoriendi3D
    Thanks for having us on this prestigious list! 🍺 It's great to see you back with new videos 💜
  • @cbo2864
    Seriously I am so glad you made this, because my first printer was bought from a friend that already had all the kinks worked out of the system; and I just bought a printer that I am having to start from scratch on. So starting over at the basics is exactly where I need to be.
  • That's a decent list. I especially like the trees (very multipurpose use for rpgs) Because getting a benchy to come out right might take several tries, someone needs to make a benchy that is a useful and good terrain piece, like a campfire or tent or trade booth, because piles of little steam boats aren't so useful.
  • @electrosnow
    This is a fantastic video! I especially like the "tolerances" topics. I feel like there should be a Level Up in 3d printing list that can happen. Level 1 print the pre-installed models in the 3d printer. Level 2 print out a 3 hour length print. Level 3, print out a 2 piece treasure chest, Level 4 print out a multi part dial counter, etc. A comprehensive list would level up the new 3d printer through a spectrum body of 3d printed products.
  • Great to see you back at it Danny!! Great vid man. I still need to get my first print out of my FDM. Intimidating but I need to get that sucker running
  • Those dungeon sticks are exactly what I'm looking for. I like to just draw my dungeons on white erase tiled boards, but sometimes the walls rub off. Being able to just quickly stick low walls together would be perfect.
  • Thank you Danny for reigniting that 3D interest. Powering up my Ender 3 now to start on this list. I’ve never heard of dungeon sticks. So that will be my first! 🤓 Appreciate you sharing your time and knowledge. Blessed be.
  • @billcurran7210
    Been printing for two years now and still found some cool stuff I need to print! Also a fan of the dungeon sticks over more standard tiles.
  • @kallisto9166
    So on the one hand, Danny is trying to make a going business concern of Lost Adventures... and on the other, he's showing everyone where to get free print files. Got to respect that.
  • @Reloaded2100
    I love everything from this list. And i even saw stuff on the websites u gave us which I love so much! This is one of the few videos that gives me more hope with printing for DnD with FDM. Love it
  • @tommythomas9143
    Thank you dor all your hard work, research and contributions to crafting and the overall table top experience.
  • @iandollery1230
    Welcome back. Great idea having prints with different challenges.
  • @joereader8104
    I've been watching your videos for a couple of years now and have seen you go from a little shy and wordy, to master of your domain with top notch editing. I loved this video. You look like you are having so much fun! Keep it up. It's appreciated.
  • Danny, glad to see you're back, was missing these videos. Now to watch...
  • This was maybe my favourite video of yours. I love this and am about to go on a journey printing all of them!
  • @dj-bjecki
    Excellent music, crisp editing, great video. To the point and easy to watch. 5 stars!
