StarHopper's final flight tomorrow. This would be Central time. Adding 1 hour for Eastern; Date: Monday, August 26 Window: 1700-1715 Eastern...

FWIW,my printbed is a heated (800W heater) Anycubic Ultrabase; the photos were not made on the printbed but after removing it. For sure the cooling...

Cocoa, FL build site Looks like 18 completed ring segments, likely for Super Heavy. Once Starship Mk-2 goes to KSC in September for tests the...

Up is GO for StarHopper's final flight. Elon Musk ✔ @elonmusk Looks like @SpaceX Starhopper flight may be as soon as Monday. FAA support is much...

Yes you need cooling fans. The original seen in the full photo barely has enough airflow for pla and only blows in one direction. The new setup runs...

Cannot see enough detail in your pics to see what the problem may be... at first glance looks like under extrusion, but again cant really see well...

All the details on the Benchy-object are here: http://www.3dbenchy.com/about/ . Overall length should be 6cm Most likely my problem is a combined...

How large is that? Would like to see better prints of the same object if you're gonna make some.

Correct, a nuclear ramjet. The reactor could 1) directly heat scooped air or, 2) use a closed cooling loop filled with a liquid metal; lead,...

This is a view from the front side: The platform on the bottom is a setting of the slicer to increase adhesion to the bed, but it is not really...

It was a first print of Benchy, a typical reference print. The print failed due to an extruder problem. On the back, there is a hint of good...

The Burevestnik is allegeldy (based on some video by Russian physicist I watched) a ramjet that uses reactor to heat air.

Russia already is playing with 'fission reactors used for power and propulsion' (in this case not for missions to outer space, but for the...

Given advances in high thrust electric propulsion 10-15 years is enough for powering outer solar system probes launched with the high deltaV...

Given that these run for 12-15 years max, I would say beyond moon and mars it is gonna be a hard sell. What makes these reactors "safe"? Can the...

The other shoe drops Jim Bridenstine ✔ @JimBridenstine In partnership with @ENERGY, we’ve completed successful tests of #Kilopower, a new nuclear...

I know it may sound as a broken record but...pics? Love to see how you upgrade that thing. And people pay $$ to see somewhat shapely blobs (or so I...

Just to get back to this: I made a first print yesterday! Well... not much of a print, but rather a somewhat shapely blob... At least the...

Evelyn Janeidy Arevalo @JaneidyEve Replying to @elonmusk Elon will the SpaceX presentation at Boca Chica take place on August 24 this week? ...

The Cocoa build site already has at least 15 stainless steel ring segments in the staging area, and odds are only 2-3 are needed to finish off...

NASA renamed the SLS/Orion lunar program to "Artemis," and is bringing in commercial entities to supply the Gateway, land payloads and people on the...

OK, I see the problem. Not had this ever. Haven't really had any big cuts, well I have had a couple of biggies, but can't remember if that PC...
