Latest Updates from Our Project:
New Kickstarter Launch - "Depths of Savage Atoll"!
almost 5 years ago
– Wed, May 15, 2019 at 04:21:05 PM
Hello folks, hope all is well and your 3d printers are still humming along merrily! We are working on wrapping up the remaining Vertical City terrain, but I wanted to share with you my newest project that just launched - it's my biggest undertaking (and most polished!) project to date, with a tremendous number of models and stretch goals. "Depths of Savage Atoll" takes to (and under) the seas, with an aquatic, nautical, coastal, cliffs, and jungle island theme.
We are just getting started and it should be one hell of a fun ride - take a look if you're interested!
Terrain Feedback request: Vertical City, Delivery Updates, and "Depths of Savage Atoll" new project!

Folks - hope all is well, and your printing is going great! I have seen some wonderful stuff over on the Facebook Group. Wanted to give an update on files and remaining deliverables, get your feedback on one decision, and give you a heads up on an upcoming project!
Feedback Request: Vertical City
I have struggled to figure out the best way to build this, got some feedback in FB group, flip-flopped like 8 times, and decided it was best to just get backer feedback. Please let me know in the comments if you have a preference on what kind of stalagmite/stalagtite/column rock "buildings" you want me to finalize for this stretch goal - option A or B
Option A: Less modular but more natural looking - fixed height, but less playable space inside (due to wall thickness in tapered sections
Option B: More flexible in that it can be any height, and tapered top/bottom are optional, and middle sections can be mixed/matched (there would be a few different styles), but look less like stalagmites/tites and more like rock columns.
Please note that either design will be fully rock textured, have fun dark elf stylings, and look cool
All that's left to deliver are the stalagmite/title/column buildings from the pics above, and the final arachnid mutant male/female minis (which I'm wrapping up now). Everything else is in the dropbox. Some file errors have been reported to me, and have been updated in the dropbox. You can always refer to the changelog to see what's new in there.
------------------------
Upcoming Project- "Depths of Savage Atoll"
In addition to wrapping up this KS, I'm launching a new KS of similar size/scope of this one - targeting the end of this month (April). It's going to be aquatic/nautical/pirate/coastal/jungle themed and gonna be a friggin blast - We already have SO MUCH awesome stuff lined up - ranging from underwater runes, to shipwrecks, to merfolk cities, to dragon turtle lairs, to pirate hideouts, seafaring vessels, coastal towns, jungle temples/villiages, and more! I'll certainly post an update in here when it goes live but if you wanna keep up with cool previews and images I'm posting, follow EC3D on Facebook. I have lots of amazing stuff planned for this but if you have a cool/unique ideas, don't be afraid to throw them in the comments!
File Updates

Hope everybody is having fun printing away! There's LOTS of great pictures and sharing going on in the backer Facebook Group, and it's been a blast so far seeing everybody's stuff come to life! After a well-needed vacation I'm back to work, and adding more new files and updates. I will periodically post updates as needed in here, but as I make modifications to the files in Dropbox I will be tracking changes in this Changelog - this will be up to date with all new things that are added. Also, when fixes are done to files I am adding them to dropbox with a new version (for example "random part v2") and deleting the old version to make sure dropbox sync works and you don't still see an old version of the file. You can check out the changelog for a list of errors that have been fixed/addressed, but also want to point out some new files that were added:
Rock / Earth Elemental / Golem
A golem summoned from the ground by the powerful magic of the gray dwarves, or a rock elemental wandering the lightless corridors - this monster has crystal geodes and carved runic patterns, and is ready to put his fist through all manner of things.
-------------------------
Nightwalker Demon
Available in a regular version, or version with whisps/tendrils of shadow, and keyed/split for easy printing! Sure to strike terror into the hearts of your players.
-------------------------
Final Abyss Pieces
Abyss pieces are finalized and last ones added include the "pit shrine", "crusted lava rise", and "demon throne"!
-------------------------
What's Next?
MINIS: Working on finalizing the dark elf spider mount, and additional male/female driders, and the demon goddess of rot and fungus. All these models look amazing so far and should be out very soon.
TERRAIN: Finishing up a few random pieces of gray dwarf terrain that I missed, and working on the vertical city stretch goal. Just getting started with the vertical city so will be a few weeks at least till that one is ready but you should have PLENTY to print in the interim!
DUNGEONSTICKS: Releasing a spider web wall and gate very soon, perfect for dark elf mansions / compounds. Almost finalized design for more gemoetric (aka dungeon) designs but pushing that out a bit so I can focus on wrapping up KS stuff, but will get to those soon I hope!
Receiving File Delivery - Common Questions
about 5 years ago
– Mon, Feb 18, 2019 at 06:44:46 PM
LOTS of people have gotten the rewards and started printing, and I'm thrilled to have delivered the files in the timeframe I planned - thank you all again for your support! Quite a few people have messaged me with some various issues regarding surveys and delivery, so wanted to put out a quick FAQ update to help folks. Here goes:
Q: I did not receive an email from BackerKit for the survey *OR* I did not receive emails with digital download/reward links for things I purchased
A: You can go to BackerKit (backerkit.com) at any time and login / create an account with the same email as your Kickstarter email and you will see the Skyless Realms in there, with links to complete survey or download your digital rewards.
Q: I cannot unzip files after downloading
A: Due to larger file sizes the downloads can sometimes be prone to corruption, particularly if you have bad/spotty network connection. To remedy either try (1) re-downloading, (2) using a different piece of software to unzip (such as a free solution like 7-zip), and (3) browse and download specific items from the Dropbox view.
Q: It seems that something is missing/misplaces in the file collection
A: There are over 400+ files in this Kickstarter and arranging / moving everything from my work/development area to a logical folder structure for deliverability means that I was bound to miss / mislabel / mis-categorize some stuff. People have reported a few issues that I have remedied but please report any others you might encounter. Please note that a few things are missing that are still being worked on from stretch goals later in the campaign, which I will update when finished
REWARDS SHIPPING SHORTLY!

3D printers everywhere are shaking in anticipation!
Kickstarter came through with the funding release exactly 2 weeks after the campaign ended, which is great! I'm pushing "GO" for delivery for all add-ons in BackerKit shortly, which will be sending out digital reward download instructions for that stuff. If you haven't already please fill out the BackerKit survey in your inbox! If you haven't received it shoot me a note and I'll get it straightened out.
The Skyless Realms stuff will get sent out later tonight as I'm wrapping up organization of the files. As I have mentioned before, the vast majority of it is done and included now (I would say about 90%) and I will keep adding stuff in as it's completed. The delivery instructions will contain a personal code and a URL to access dropbox to view the rewards (they are split into "minis" and "scatter" so if you got all-in, you'll receive those individually). I do not recommend downloading the full STL set from Dropbox yet as it's very large, but stuff will certainly change and get added, but you are free to do as you wish! (you can always download new files and updates later). I was able to squeeze lots of file size optimizations out of the files, and currently minis are ~4gb and scatter is ~6gb, so it's not *too* crazy as I initially expected.
If you have any issues with viewing the dropbox folder or downloading files, please shoot me a note sooner than later!
Didn't receive a BackerKit Survey Email?
If you have NOT received your survey, you can always make an account on BackerKit and it should be in there for you to fill out - just make sure the email you use is the *same one* you use for your Kickstarter account.
Note on Vacation / Availability
I'm heading out of the country Wed on a much-needed 7 day vacation. I will be periodically checking in on emails, support requests, etc but please be patient if you reach out or have issues during that period and I'm slow to respond - I don't anticipate issues, but I'm sure small model tweaks and few things here/there will come up, as they always do. The Facebook Group is a great place to get support as well!
