3D print Pont de la Barquette

Simple design of the locks near hells corner, Pont de la Barquette, Carentan. I did not add the stone-structure to the walls. The model was created on request of a wargaming friend and I printed the whole model in 1:100 scale. Large parts are printed with PLA, but the lock doors are printed on a […]

Allied Landing Craft WW2

This blog will provide an overview of the 3D-models I created and printed in 1:100 scale (15mm wargaming). All are waterline models, specifily desigen for the wargaming table. So some parts are a bit stronger, like the railing, to make sure the model will survive the wargaming table. All the 3D-print-files in this Blog you […]

Deploy a simple Squid Proxy Server on Azure

A caching proxy server (in this case: http://www.squid-cache.org/) can be used to reduce bandwidth and as the proxy will cache frequently-requested pages, can also help to improve response times. My use-case is a bit different as I need a way to test mobile devices to connect to the web-server running in Azure, but the web-server […]

How to 3D-print – part 2

In December 2020 I decided to get myself a Resin printer next to my FDM printer. I have been using a Creality Ender 5 for 1 year, which worked fine and delivered great prints in the quality I needed for Wargaming and the larger parts for modelship building. But at 1/100 or even 1/350 scale […]

In 2 former Blog posts I explained how to install Node-RED and how I used TinkerForge components to receive environment data from a WeatherStation and store that in simple txt-fliles. In this post I will show how to read data from text-files and store the data in the correct format in a time series Database […]
