Ok, me; engineer, prototyper, coming from robotics, hands on mechatronic for industrial automation, I made myself two or three 3D printers out of crappy kits heavilly modified to make them perform as I needed, so they no longer are as bought, including motherboards, nozzles, heatsinks, stepper motors, etc, just the frames are less modified, but not virgin.
I design, print, test, and obviously re-design, for the iterarion of a product from idea to good to sell sometimes takes me to hundreds of re printings and design adjustments.
Why am I saying this?
Glass transiton, that is why.
Some of my products are made to improve 3d printers so that a crappy 200-500USD kit printer can do things normally you got to buy a 30.000 USD printer for, by just printing a few STL files of mine and mounting the prints to the printer, plus some things you buy online, and you go from PLA to... Polycarbonate, Nylon, PPS, printing capacities, and with some more twickening you go to over 400C printing PEEk and ULTEM. On your cheap kit toy, doing things for the big boys only. But without investing like the big boys.
Some other objects I create are designed to stay in a vehicle, be it on the wheels hub, or in the cabin on the dashboard, etc
As you can imagine my creations meet high operational temperatures be it from the heated print bed working just next to them at 120C, or the heatblock at 450C at 3 mm away from my object while printing for 32 hours non stop, or sitting on the dashboard of a car in the summer sun with a 75 C built in cabin heat.
Conclusion; PLA nope (becomes mushy at 50C), PETG nope, ABS neiter, HIPS no no, ASA neither (they all give in around 90C).
I tried them all during the years, they all get mushy and loose their shape, and since they are not decorative parts buut actually functional things, once their shape is a bit compromised, they do not work anymore, they become trash and end up in a bin.
So I modified my machines to go Polycarbonate, with or without Carbon fiber in the filament (Cf filament prints nicer, but becoming more stiff the part also becomes more brittle, is a trade off) or Nylon and similar, for the cheap products, (not as cheap as PLA thou... lol) but if I need to go really reliable mechanical than PPS with or without CF is a good option, and ULTEM (PEI) which is more expensive than PPS but also better heat glass transistion resistance.
PPS has amazingly the same glass transition as ABS (HIPS, ASA) but if anealed it jumps to nearly 200C resistance before deforming.
You will never get that from ASA, HIPS, ABS, PLA or PETG, not even from Polycarbonate, but hey, 150C before becoming mushy is still a good point in many applications, Nylon is a bit lower in that respect, around 140C gives in, but is more plastic deformable tolerant, practically is a pereneal hinge, you bend it back and forth a milion times before you shear it.
There you go, my two cents on materials to use in cheap 3D printers rightly tunned.
How disinformed do you have to be to believe the nonsense about Trump saving the planet, or Trump destroying the planet with his policies?
As seen from space; the earth is a sphere, while politics is called... the political sphere, so the center is somewhere on the equator, to its right are the right-wing parties, to the left of the center are the left-wing parties, and on the opposite side of the center are the extreme right and the extreme left which are one and the same thing because the extremes touch and merge with each other.
Until now in the European Community we have had communism on bread disguised as a cardboard carnival with puff pastry, where anything that was extreme left was officially upheld as... left, and the center left was... the center, in conclusion everything that would be authentically center in real therms, for them is already right-wing, and the right was extreme right, and that extreme right... well, that doesn't exist because it has already merged with the extreme left, meaning they are all with them in office anyway.
And behold, until yesterday we had the USSR of Brussels.
Now comes the new order from the heads of the political sphere, no, not from politicians like Macron, Trump, Trudeau, Xi, Kim, or Ursula Von Der Liar, these are just pawns who execute, far above them are those who really command, and they are pushing Trump to move the center to... center right, shifting the authentic center as... center left, and the extremes as we already know are all the same, that is, they touch and merge with each other.
Anything but, as long as we don't have a balanced political center at all, because that would mean the end of invented wars and pandemics, and invented crises of all kinds, that is, their source of money would dry up suddenly and all at once.
So sticking with Trump and his policies is unimaginably stupid, and sticking with EU, Ursula, Macron etc. and their policies is stupidity of exactly the same magnitude (Zelinsky and Ukraine do not count in the equation, they are there just to keep you busy, circens et panem).
For those who have politicians in their pockets will play you at this game like a fool, just as they have been playing you for at least 15 generations that I know of.
They know these EVs will never fly. The issue is mobility. They are throwing people a carrot to get them out of the ICE cars then the EVs are next.
You will not be able to afford to charge them. Your taxes will go up because they chew the crap out of the roads, you will have to replace tires all the times again because these monsters are so heavy they chew up the roads and your tires (and the tires will be unaffordable expensive).
Then car insurance will soar because if you damage the battery in one of these babies they must be totalled and that will cost another unaffordable amount to replace and if you hit some one with these cars the damage will be catastrophic because again they are extremely heavy.
The war is NOT against fossil fuels. The war is against mobility. They want you out of your car, unable to travel outside your 15 Minute City so they can monitor and control everything you do and say.
WAKE UP. Buy an EV and you are helping the demise of mobility. The issue is NEVER the issue.

1. There are plenty of people who don't want personal cars. And with the advances in driver-less cars the real question is will owning a personal vehicle regardless of its fuel source be a thing?
David Alexander McCauley
2. They are developing batteries out of hemp, yet another use for that wonderful plant, which I imagine would bring the battery price down substantially since hemp is a plant and renewable. Keep an eye on how batteries are made.

3. If you're worried about long distance travel why are we not using trains more?
Seriously why is Canada and the U.S. so obsessed with cars when they could have bullet trains or maglevs running across the continent?
Also cars moving within a city usually have speed limits imposed on them for safety sake.
So really you're not really going that far or fast for an urban commute half the time. I know because I routinely compare the time it takes me to walk from a to b compared to taking the bus. Usually it's faster to walk there.
Like I really don't understand why you are such an advocate for big oil and car culture when the tech to free us of reliance on such things exists.

4. Have you not heard of the hydrogen fuel cell aka the water powered car?
Pop Emil
You give me the impression you have no clue what I am talking about, neither what are you talking about, but you are talking nonetheless, enthusiastically.
Today I minced 400 miles going places without any train connection if not going around and doing what I accomplished in 15 hours in maybe.... 3 days.
David Alexander McCauley
you are trying to criticize my logic while not making a rational rebuttable and butchering your statement with spelling errors and bad grammar?
So what if you chose not to, or couldn't take the train.
That isn't a point in your favor.
The point is that there should be an adequate high speed public transit network that doesn't rely on fossil fuels so people don't need cars.
The fact you're bitching about car ownership so bad just proves that point.
Why would owning a vehicle be important if you had a public transit system connecting communities and that spanned the continent?
Okay you'd want a personal vehicle to explore or go off into the wilderness but how many people do that?
The majority of people live in cities or even just stay at home in suburban or rural areas.
How many people make a point of going off out in the wilderness?
Because that is the ONLY real valid use I can think for a personal vehicle vs a comprehensive public transit hub, self driving cars and maglevs for long distance transit.
Pop Emil
to start with, my grammar errors are not my problem, but of those that hunt for them, deal with it, I don't care.
Than talking about fallacies, I live in a large city, but my work takes me to everywhere from farms 100 miles away to other cities, villages and sometimes countries, traveling by public transport or electric vehicles would raise my costs from triple to 10 times fold, and my travel time from ten times fold upwards, things that I could sort out in one day take four days and 3 hotel nights, talking of simple logic.
Like me is 30% of Earth population at least, the rest of you, the 15 minutes people, can do whatever you want.
But without us your nice and cozy Megalopolis would crumble into deep shit and rubble in a decade, so with all the hate you have towards us, we keep you alive and out of a dystopian world so you can worship your goddess Greta.
I think we should simply stop and let you fix your own problems, that would be fair enough.
This way the Earth population would be reduced to half a billion in a decade due to starvation and diseases sprung from non collecting your garbage and not cleaning your sewage, not feeding you with our work and the resulting food that you consume while hunting grammar errors of us online and doing nothing else to make this world better, and the rest of us, those that actually do something, half a billion of engineers, farmers, agriculturist, vehicle drivers, etc, that travel a lot for for work and for fun, would finally enjoy living on this planet instead of slaving ourselves out of any time to have fun just to keep you alive to criticize us while doing nothing to help us save your arses.
And if "owning a vehicle to go into the wilderness to explore it" is "the only way you can think of it" than sorry my friend, besides the outrageous fallacies in your (so called) logic, you don't even do much thinking either, at least not the type that is anchored into reality.
(you may notice this is the last reply, I have never heard from him again)
The new Japanese government has announced a huge economic stimulus package (the equivalent of over 200 billion dollars).
Japan has its back against the wall, it has to adopt this stimulus package because otherwise it would collapse economically.
But this will inevitably/mathematically trigger some tectonic movements in international markets due to the yen, the price of Japanese government bonds and the global debt that Japan holds.
The stimulus package has the potential to collapse the yen and trigger inflationary pressures.
The key move is expected on December 18, when the Bank of Japan will have to decide whether or not to increase the reference interest rate.
Whatever it decides, the implications are global because over the past 30 years, hardworking Japanese people have accumulated a lot of money that they have placed back, in various forms, on world markets, in other words, they have provided liquidity to the world economy.
But now Japan has an aging population, which is demanding back the money (pensions) to which it is entitled.
The mechanisms are extremely complex, but regardless of what the Bank of Japan decides (to defend or not to defend the yen) the logical move of investors will be to "drain" the international markets of all the liquidity provided through the Japanese yen over the past 30 years.
And the only alternative for the Japanese government would be to finance the stimulus package by selling bonds of other countries that it owns, which would put the respective governments in a bind, as it would exponentially increase their financing costs.
But which governments are we talking about? Well, first and foremost, the American government! And let's see if the planet can afford a drifting America!...
So, the perfect storm could come from Japan right at the turn of 2025/2026.
I think that's the key to Trump's ultimatum to Zelensky - "You have to accept the peace plan by November 27, if not, go to hell." - because Trump is aware that in December "something will come" (bad, really bad) and he really can't afford to throw money mercilessly into the Ukrainian black hole.
The only lunatics who don't seem to understand anything are the Europeans, who seem to have already convinced Zelensky to continue on his suicidal path.
Next year, Europe risks being caught in a vise jaws between a major global financial crisis and an impossible-to-finance war.
The only logical explanation is that European politicians are covering up such horrific crimes and genocyde in Ukraine that they are actually more interested in covering up the crimes they committed or supported in Ukraine than in saving what can still be saved in Europe.
In the fiction of law (yes, it is fiction) a person is that living being or that agreed status to which a person is assigned, a tax code number, personal code, national insurance number, social security number, personal numerical (or alphanumeric) code, depends on the fiction "corporate person" called State that manages people in a certain geographical territory.
When a person dies, the actor does not necessarily die, as in movies, so in real life the actor can get out of the character's skin, the person, by returning to the issuer (the state) the capacities of the person assigned, so a company is dissolved, but no one dies, a country is dissolved but not the right people die, only those poor people die because they are drafted and sent to war until they lose it.
A natural person ceases to exist (dies in the eyes of the law, of the fiction of the law) either when the actor dies naturally (i.e. the human born alive reaches the end of his life) or when the actor renounces the character (renouncing citizenship without adopting another citizenship) i.e. what Christ called us to do, to renounce the person attributed to us through the fiction of the law by usurping from God the right of master of the man born alive and attributing this right to the demonic state, i.e. an act of lese majesty, usurpation, and theft, and therefore to restore the divine order over us through free choice, to give back to God what is God's, ourselves, and to Caesar what is Caesar's (the person, what... did you think it was about money in that parable about paying taxes?) freeing ourselves from the chains of death (Caesar's laws) in order to be reintegrated into the original matrix from which we decided to be stolen, giving the usurper (the devil) the right over us through the demonic contract (the request to be registered at birth which assigns us a personal numerical code) without legal value until we personally consecrate it by requesting confirmation of this personal numerical code when we submit the application for the identity card/passport.
Yes, we give our babies as a gift to the devil at birth.
Renouncing citizenship for another citizenship only changes our department and therefore the corporation under which we operate as a person under the same master; the devil.
In return, renouncing citizenship without taking on another citizenship sets us free, we no longer have a demonic contract with the devil, which is why Earthly laws are designed in such a way that without a demonic contract with the devil (passport) you cannot travel internationally, you cannot drive vehicles, you cannot have a job (something that Christ also urges you to do, not to have jobs working for demons, including in religious, state, corporate organizations, etc.) and therefore you do not have access to money (the devil's eye... ehh...) and therefore to purchased food, heat, light, etc., meaning you cannot manage outside the demonic system.
But if you know God's laws, you can live like that, you won't have a PlayStation, or a Mercedes, not even a Dacia, you will cross the borders illegally (from a demonic point of view) and you risk being shot by any armed servant of the devils (police, military, gendarmes, etc.) because for them you are from the enemy's army, you belong to God.
Can Hippocrates’ medicine still be taken seriously today? Maybe in some places, yes, but you have to be stupid to let yourself be treated by a doctor who is guided only by his writings.
The doctor Ignaz Semmelweis was considered crazy by his colleagues in the 19th century because he proposed a simple hand disinfection procedure as a solution to reduce the mortality rate of newborn babies. In the end, he was found right, but after years and years and after being driven crazy.
Mercury was a “fashionable” treatment for decades in the psichological wards. Today, it is unanimously accepted that what actually drove their patients crazy was the treatment, and that the treatment itself killed tem.
During the interwar period, some idiots had invented all kinds of “treatments” based on radium. Needless to say, the only tangible effect was the alarming increase in the number of cancers of all kinds, until the aberration was banned (in the 1940s).
Shouldn't we have already talked about Thalidomide. It solved the nausea of pregnant women, oh my, it took them by the hand! But babies also came out of their bodies without arms and legs. It took five years (1957-1962) for it to be withdrawn from the market.
Diethylstilbestrol was prescribed to pregnant women for over 30 years, starting in 1940, until doctors finally understood (in 1971), that girls born to mothers who had taken this substance during pregnancy developed vaginal cancer at a young age, at the age of 20.
Portuguese doctor Antonio Moniz won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1949 for inventing the lobotomy procedure. Were you nervous, were you looking at someone in the eye? Pac pac, your brain would be cut and you would calm down. Absolutely! Yes, the Nobel Prize was given for something like that. And not in 1700, but in 1949, that is, relatively recently.
We have enough academics who were children at that time. One of JFK's sisters was miserable for life because her idiot father "believed in science" and had her brain cut. Observing certain female political figures today such as Kaja Kallas, Annalena Baerbock or Ursula Von Der Leyen, you realize that Mr. Kennedy Sr. was an idiot: he should have made his daughter a politician, not lobotomize her.
But have you heard of Vioxx? Well, if you are not a doctor, you certainly have not heard of it. Vioxx was a drug developed by the giant Merck that took bone pain (arthritis) by the hand. Phew! Pac pac, no more pain. Unfortunately, in 2004 - so during our lifetimes - it had to be withdrawn from the market, and Merck was fined about 7-8 billion USD (anyway, well BELOW the profit brought by this miracle drug) because it did not increase the risk of myocardial infarction and/or stroke "only" about 4 times... The number of deaths is unknown, the number of patients with a history of infarction/stroke after taking Vioxx is over 60,000.
On the medical front, the largest single fine in history, 2.3 billion USD, was paid by Pfizer in 2009 for falsely promoting the drug Bextra, which had effects similar to Merck's Vioxx.
Yes, the same Pfizer with the magic serum thing...
And there are many more such cases that show that medicine, like any science, is in constant evolution, it is not a "theology", a divine word revealed once and for all: today you may happen to be dealing with who knows what miracle drug, tomorrow you find out that it has been withdrawn from the market or restricted.
Just think of the banal antibiotics, which today can no longer be bought by anyone, anytime, at the pharmacy, because it has been observed that over time, taken by mouth, they stimulate the resistance of pathogens.
I
t would be true if you were not citizens of a country, members of a religion, political party or club, but once you usurped the inheritance from God the creator (Ub unum , pluribus) to create (constitute) a country (ub pluribus unum) technically you stole your inheritance from your living father (while still alive, hence before you had a right to have it) to give it to an imaginary father you made up according to your wish, called country, and this imaginary father than in return gives back to you your dignity through the fiction of law (common law) creating for you a ''person'' that is a fictional character that you give life to it acting as per being it all your life, and to that fictitious character the state that created it assigns rights and obligations, that can be changed anytime the state wants, hence the state owns your person (not your property anymore) owns your goods (you have the use of them through your person) owns your life and that of your children and is your master and commander, your father, you are no longer sons of God, but sons of America.
Now my friend that is divination, necromancy, satanism that you practice.
Being sons of America or UK or Japan or China or Russia or any other organization instead of sons of God; is also idolatry, second commandment condemns it, because you together constituted a country hence you are your own god, and made up a singularity to serve you, a parliament, government and judiciary system called a State, and that singularity in reality serves of you, feeds on you, because it is demonic, you run from God and sold yourselves into slavery to the devil.
Read it, is in your bible. Ask the Mennonites and the Amish why they do not want passports, birth certificates, ID cards, or drivers license.. they can tell you the same as I do here.
Hence your constitution is given to you by your own god, which is yourselves, to protect you from your own government, again yourselves that appointed them by voting.
How sick can that be
