The extruder suddenly stopped working after I cleared a jam that caused it to grind.

  • I tried every combination of motor and cable to trace the problem. It seems the only fault is the extruder's motherboard connector.

  • The motor is functional. I connected it to the XYZ motor cables and it spins on every one.

  • Nothing happened when I tried plugging the other axis cables into the extruder port on the motherboard.

  • Finally, I am comfortable using a multimeter and soldering iron, but don't have immediate access to them.

I really appreciate any advice on this because I miss printing!

  • Since I have too much time this morning I did some digging, and I don't think anything is going down.

    D-KSJX is a glider: https://www.flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/d-ksjx/

    Aircraft SPIRB is most likely a private plane that took off from a rural airstrip at coordinates 53°58'59"N 20°52'51"E.

    US buys 81 Soviet-era combat aircraft from Russia's ally costing on average less than $20,000 each, report says
  • The article calls the planes unusable, so I don't think Ukraine has enough spare parts to fix up 81 outdated planes just to blow them up. They'll probably strip out everything usable and use the more modern husks as decoys. That being said, I have a feeling Ukraine will scrape together enough parts to get some of the older models flying and cause some embarrassing security incidents and IFF shenanigans. Finally, there's the possibility that other former Soviet countries can pool the resources to refurbish at least a few aircraft, which would be good timing after the latest US aid package and donated F-16s entering service in the next year.

    Ukrainian Pilots Start Training on the F-16 in Arizona
  • The pilots will be bringing home American doctrine, and be introduced to a wider array of weapons, tactics, and networking technology. Most importantly, in my opinion, the Soviet technology bubble has been broken and Ukraine will gain 21st century air power.

    [NSFL] Injuries to a Russian soldier, presumably from a GLMRS M30A1 rocket with a tungsten bead warhead.
  • If he bled out after the hit, he's just a body. A less deadly injury creates more soldiers rolling around in pain waiting for their turn to get every bead picked out.
