Trump praises Russia's military record in argument to stop funding Ukraine's fight
  • Russia claimed and held territory. Their military leadership doesn’t particularly value human lives in this conflict and hasn’t historically either. I have no doubt that they will continue the course suffering heavy human losses and eventually find some form of victory.

    Ukraine needs more people if they want any hope of staving that eventuality off. The Russians have very different ideas of fighting a war of attrition.

  • Trump praises Russia's military record in argument to stop funding Ukraine's fight
  • Quantity is a quality of its own. I’d say Ukraine is hanging on with advanced weaponry. It needs the mass to push Russian troop advances and repel their forces out of their country.

    Anything else is keeping the status quo of roughly even wins and losses, which will never lead to victory in the next decade.

  • Finished printing the bento box... now waiting on parts

    Here's a small update to my bento box building log.

    This is a small air scrubber meant to cut down on some of the VOCs that come with melting plastics such as ABS.

    I've printed all of the bits in ABS and they fit together well. Now I need to order some fans, filters, carbon pellets, magnets, and fasteners to get everything situated.

    Building a Bento Box

    I got a P1S for my family as an early Christmas present. I'm interested in creating parts that may eventually be used in cars, so I'm trying to get things ready for full-time ABS and ASA production.

    This is my 4th print using ABS. First time was an okay benchy which needed some flow calibration and displayed some slight bowing at the base. Second time was a good benchy which seemed dialed in. Third print was an articulated Onyx Pokemon which seemed great.

    I've printed the main body for the bento box in 3DF transparent black ABS.

    Some of my tweaked settings for success were:

    • Blanket over the printer. This is in my garage and temperatures dip. The blanket helped with the warping.
    • Setting the bed temp to 100C and setting the level to around 40mm down from the top with the chamber fan at 30%. Did this for around 15 minutes to get everything inside up to temperature.
    • Nozzle temp first layer of 260C
    • Nozzle temp other layers of 270C
    • Bed temp constant 100C

    I plan on printing the other components and sourcing the parts spread out across December, so I'll post updates!
