Comparison to my recreation of The Atomium.
This replication of The Atomium in Brussels, Belgium is for Contest #64. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomium) The landmark was designed by the engineer Andre Waterkeyn to demonstrate the atomic crystal structure of Iron. Built in 1958, it embodies the great faith in the scientific progress of the time.
This build uses 4050 Zen magnets in total (18.75 sets):
9 Rhombicuboctahedrons: 9(216) = 1,944
Side tubes (7): 12*8*14 = 1,344
Inner tubes (11): 6*11*8 = 528
outside supports (13): 3*6*13 = 234
Total: 1944 + 1344 + 528 + 234 = 4050 or 18.75 sets

Launched yesterday, from the brilliant mind of the creator of the Mclaren F1 Supercar is the GMA T.50.
The T.50 replicates the three-seat, central driving position seen in the F1 of 30 years ago, and reprises many of that vehicles central themes, incuding a high-output naturally-aspirated V12 engine. the T.50 uses a 4.0 L developed by Cosworth engineering in the UK. The V12 has peak power of 487 kW @ 11,500 rpm, and peak torque (low by current supercar standards) of 467 Nm @ 9,000 rpm.
This shortfall in torque is less of an issue due to the T.50's low 986 kg kerb weight. This is achieved via a lightweight an compact carbon-fibre monocoque body, and the inclusion of significant amounts of lightweight and strong titanium in the engine.
One very cool feature is the gullwing engine covers, seen previously on the deTomaso Mangusta back in the early 1970s.
The major new party trick seen in the T.50 is the 8.5 kW electric fan-forced ground-effect aerodynamics. The fan is powered from a 48-Volt electrical systems (the generator sits at the end of the engine crankshaft). This permits stable, high-speed cornering without the resultant aerodynamic drag generated by large wings mounted on the top-side of the body.
The GMA T.50 is due in 2022, limited to 100 cars, and priced at 2.36M Pounds.

A quiet oak savanna in southwest Oregon has a World War II story to tell.
It was the summer of 1942 when thousands of young American troops started arriving in Oregon to prepare for battle.
Only months prior, immediately after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and America’s entry into WWII, the U.S. Army broke ground on Camp White, a massively ambitious training ground for troops north of Medford.
The national war effort was ramping up, and from the rationing at home to the drill sergeants yelling at new draftees, the task at hand was unified: Get America prepared for war as fast as possible.
At Camp White, in the heart of the Rogue River Valley, it got loud very quick.
Construction crews worked 24 hours a day until the base, consisting of 1,300 structures, was complete. Barracks, mess halls, a railroad, full electrical grid and sewer system were all built in six months.
And then the troops arrived.
The newly reinstated 91st Division went on 91-mile-long hikes.
They fired bazookas, mortars and tanks.
And they attacked concrete pillboxes built to replicate Nazi bunkers.
Despite creating what was then Oregon’s second most populous city at 40,000 people, there are now only a few lasting structures proving Camp White ever existed. Sadly, there are even fewer first-hand memories.
The pillboxes are still standing, though. They simultaneously represent a mostly forgotten military legacy and since 2013, an opportunity for historic preservation.
After decades of private cattle farming, Camp White’s pillboxes now rest on public land.

Loved the Replicators, but they were never much of an enemy. They didn’t seem malicious enough, just a bit misguided. I feel sorry about what happened to them in Ghost in the Machine- not to mention what happened to poor Elizabeth. Hope this isn’t the end
This working model replicating the networks and Industrial Control Systems of a full-size deep-water port facility built by ICS Secure LLC from common off-the-shelf ICS hardware served as a fully functioning training aid designed to demonstrate the effects of cyber attack and defense during exercise Operation Tiger Stance at the Indiana National Guard's Muscatatuck Urban Training Center in Butlerville, Ind., Aug. 20-24, 2018. The model's cranes were chosen by Army Cyber personnel based on a real-world scenario and are controlled by the same technology that controls real cranes. OTS was a live, scenario-based situational cyberspace training exercise designed to prepare Cyber Protection Teams for task force-oriented real-world operations. (Photo by Tom VanNorman)

Sometimes a painting needs to be replicated using photography. This painting was one of those. And upon arriving I could see immediate challenges.
I didnt have the opportunity to scope where the painting was hanging prior to the day. Arriving and seeing that there was good distance in front of the painting was a relief. There is a large window on the right which gave good natural light, but the light was uneven, which meant extra lighting was needed.
Angles are all important here. Reflections are caused by light reflecting at the wrong angle, straight back at the camera. As you can see here there is a rather substantial stairwell which made locating the second light a little tricky to achieve the right angle. In the end I had someone holding the light by hand hard to the right to give balance. This ensured the angle of both lights was similar giving a more even light spread.
You may see that the painting is VERY dark. I really wanted to get some texture, and also replicate the small amount of tonal variation between the cloak he is wearing and the black background, so the balance in exposure was critical. When I went slightly over the texture in paint was blowing out. I ended up using soft boxes to reduce the harshness. I got a nice balance for the final shots. The frame was very shiny, being gold, which was also helped by the soft boxes.
I used the 70-200 at about 135mm to reduce distortion as much as possible. In the end the was very little adjustment required.
I am really happy with how the final images ended up. Oh, and I got to see some pretty stunning paintings whilst there. This is a private residence with a beautiful collection.

This small device traps dust in a small sponge before it enters the extruder. In some cases it can also be used to easily lubricate the filament just before it is extruded.
The adapter is designed to fit the Replicator (1) and Replicator 2 extruders.
Protecting your 3D printer's extruder from foreign particles is an important part of keeping the machine maintenance-free. This adapter makes it easy to keep the filament clean.
1 - Download the STL file
2 - 3D print it as is with standard medium or fine settings
3 - Cut two small pieces of sponge and place them into the filter case
4 - Close the case with the lid and two standard 3 mm screws
5 - Unload the filament from your Replicator 1 or 2
6 - Remove the filament guide tube
7 - Insert the loose end of the filament into the adapter.
8 - Make sure that it passes through the sponge and slides smoothly
9 - Insert the adapter into the Replicator's extruder hole
10 - Insert the filament guide tube into the top part of the adapter
11 - Enjoy hours and hours of dust-free 3D print extrusion
Check this Youtube video for more information:
Every now and then open the adapter and check the sponge for dust. Replace if necessary.
In some cases filament can jam or cause uneven 3D prints if the friction in the extruder's filament tube is too high. This adapter can also be used to lubricate the filament just before it enters the extruder.

It was the summer of 1942 when thousands of young American troops started arriving in Oregon to prepare for battle.
Only months prior, immediately after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor and America’s entry into WWII, the U.S. Army broke ground on Camp White, a massively ambitious training ground for troops north of Medford.
The national war effort was ramping up, and from the rationing at home to the drill sergeants yelling at new draftees, the task at hand was unified: Get America prepared for war as fast as possible.
At Camp White, in the heart of the Rogue River Valley, it got loud very quick.
Construction crews worked 24 hours a day until the base, consisting of 1,300 structures, was complete. Barracks, mess halls, a railroad, full electrical grid and sewer system were all built in six months.
And then the troops arrived.
The newly reinstated 91st Division went on 91-mile-long hikes.
They fired bazookas, mortars and tanks.
And they attacked concrete pillboxes built to replicate Nazi bunkers.
Despite creating what was then Oregon’s second most populous city at 40,000 people, there are now only a few lasting structures proving Camp White ever existed. Sadly, there are even fewer first-hand memories.
The pillboxes are still standing, though. They simultaneously represent a mostly forgotten military legacy and since 2013, an opportunity for historic preservation.
After decades of private cattle farming, Camp White’s pillboxes now rest on public land.

The national war effort was ramping up, and from the rationing at home to the drill sergeants yelling at new draftees, the task at hand was unified: Get America prepared for war as fast as possible.
At Camp White, in the heart of the Rogue River Valley, it got loud very quick.
Construction crews worked 24 hours a day until the base, consisting of 1,300 structures, was complete. Barracks, mess halls, a railroad, full electrical grid and sewer system were all built in six months.
And then the troops arrived.
The newly reinstated 91st Division went on 91-mile-long hikes.
They fired bazookas, mortars and tanks.
And they attacked concrete pillboxes built to replicate Nazi bunkers.
Despite creating what was then Oregon’s second most populous city at 40,000 people, there are now only a few lasting structures proving Camp White ever existed. Sadly, there are even fewer first-hand memories.
The pillboxes are still standing, though. They simultaneously represent a mostly forgotten military legacy and since 2013, an opportunity for historic preservation.
After decades of private cattle farming, Camp White’s pillboxes now rest on public land.
