OTP22 History
This is a summary of the history of OTP22; it will always be slightly out-of-date. For a complete history, see Timeline of events or News (reverse-chronologically) and the unfiction thread.
It Begins
In November 2011 the phone number (303) 309-0004 (Colorado area code) was posted on Godlike Productions. In September 2012 a group in /b/ and /x/ on 4Chan began investigating; they named the project OTP22. Since then, there have been several stages with different types of codes, an automated agent system, multiple phone numbers, SSTV images, physical drops all over the world, and even a live message desk.
Initially, the phone number asked for "Agent Codes", which were entered as touch tones. If the code was valid, the system would use an AT&T Natural Voices recite a long series of 2-digit numbers . The phone messages were decoded and found to mention GPS coordinates for locations labelled "TROOP", "AGENT", "SHIP", etc. Over observation, a ship convoy appeared to be heading north toward through the Bering Strait and toward Svalbard despite complications when a "MIG BOGEY" appeared.
Information about a drop in Oregon led to the recovery of the Lake Oswego Library CD to solve a new type of code, a series of letters given in NATO alphabet and frequently seperated into 5 letter sections. Another dead drop was found at a phone booth in Maine, and its contents led to the discovery of a third drop in Minnesota. The third drop was simply an index card, in a plastic bag, with the phone number 709 700 0122.
A strange series of chirps and tones on the 709 number were decoded to be information on a series of 6 drops across the world. Drops in California, Rhode Island, and Finland were successfully recovered and consisted of a set of strange metal parts in a sealed bag. The drop in Bellwood, Chicago, eventually yielded a broken CD and a strip of paper with "97 BA 16041-97 BA 16241".
At around the same time as the 709 number was found, the coordinates system shut down. The 202 and 303 numbers started giving strange "horn" tones instead. After several days the "horns" were decoded and revealed yet another phone number, this one in Poland. The Poland number asked for a "Bell Agent Code" in order to "reactivate the system". Finally, this was deduced to be "97BA16041", and we were informed that system reactivation was imminent. All three US numbers switched to strange recordings which sound like encrypted conversations. (link to scrambleds)
Promptly, the 202 and 303 numbers were switched back to the original agent system. However, old codes were no longer accepted. Using code 16041, we were given a binary tone, much like the ones on the 709 number, welcoming "Agent Ai Bourges" back and informing her that the assignment had been cancelled. The newest agent system is more organized than the original, with a "Directory" which gives agent codes to use in order to access "AiBourges", "Agent Instructions", and "Upload". We are monitoring all of these for changes.
The most recent development is the Message Desk, which the Agent System numbers sometimes directly forward to. Sometimes it can also be accessed using agent codes #16044 or #16244. The Message Desk has its own phone number; see below. At the other end of the line, a live person answers "Message Desk" and prompts you for a number. He will respond with another number, a town name, and occasionally something else. The message desk has been up for a few hours every night since we discovered it on 11/23, but the times have varied greatly. We continue to try numbers and record responses.
Most recent things from 2013 are new drops, and packages we are getting to our home addresses. We received PINK book and some component parts so far. sometimes we get "keep alive code" that allows us to ask question through MDs mainframe computer and we get immediate answers from PM. During two "keep alive" sessions we gathered much new information (MLPJ is run by WORM (OTP agency), new project WORM is testing is called ZEUS...). We were also able to help to fix the mainframe computer once and MD was imputing command to command prompt for us. It looks like OS on his computer is specially made. Commands were not standard. prompt looked like ==> working commands were ==>@GO@HELP@INDEX@PRINT@READ@WRITE
Alternate history to fold in
We found similar very similar phone numbers game "project Evil or DEFCON Mein Fraulein crypto challenge." from Defcon 2006. No connection with current game was confirmed. http://web.archive.org/web/20080930194627/http://projectevil.org/?p=16
First mention of our phone numbers:
11/12/2011 The first known instance of the (303) 309-0004 number is recorded in a GodLikeProductions forum post. http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1702191/pg1
01/13/2012 Captain_Jack (aka wprtradio on YouTube) on the GodLikeProductions forum posts a YouTube video to the initial GLP post.
YouTube: Link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yv7ODD2HQk&feature=player_embedded
Later Colorado or Denver phone number mystery was posted many times on /x/. Only a few people paid attention.
More people joined together and OTP 22 name was born. This was beginning of current group, which made a lot of progress.
Initial threads were posted to /b/ and /x/.
The original OTP22 pastebin and youtube video was authored by OTP-Decoder
Original thread. http://markcoenterprises.net/files/OTP22/thread_archives/x_thread_10921476/a.htm
Later we had many /x/ threads on 4chan like this: http://www.anonpaste.me/anonpaste2/index.php?c2d8cc521ba5a1fb#JDZ8ERSUz2QymPjqMvTPUiomW4OYSjw7Ab/syBslD1Q=

You're this close to confident investing. If you're like most investors, you've been at it a while, yet it still seems as if everyone else knows something you don't.
They're so busy reacting, adjusting, responding. ... But is it working?
Tear down the front, and the vast majority of investors are running blind, falling behind in a dissatisfying "Behavior Gap" between available market returns and their own, lagging results.
Redirect yourself toward your own goals. At Rocktree Financial Advisors, we'll show you what confident investing looks like. It's about advancing toward your own finish line – the one you've defined – with energy to spare for the things you really want to be doing. It's about deliberate action in place of sudden moves. It's about participating in market returns, not chasing them. It shifts your mindset from getting rich to living a rich life.
We call this "evidence-based" investing. (Or you may hear it called "passive investing.") In contrast to most investors' hyperactive (and costly) efforts, we help you plan, build and manage your portfolio to harness:
- Sound investment theory – More than a half-century of solid academic evidence describes how markets are expected to deliver available returns to steadfast, patient investors. It has to do with "asset allocation" (because that's where you'll find the lion's share of return variation action), as well as a strong emphasis on cost control and tax management (because that's where most investors do the most damage to their results).
- Sound portfolio construction – To convert theory into action, we turn to a few select fund families offering practical investment solutions designed according to these same principles. We construct the core of most of our client portfolios using low-cost, asset-class funds from Dimensional Fund Advisors.
- Sound investment management – To help you reach your personal finish line, we manage your portfolio with disciplined buying, holding and periodic rebalancing. We also meet with you regularly to answer questions, improve understanding and explore whether your underlying goals have changed. If they do, we make portfolio adjustments to reflect your revised course. Sensibly, proactively, according to your unique needs.
Let's talk about Wealth Management

It's not just half-term in the UK - Missy's thrilled that her Berlin school-aged relatives also have the week off, and even more thrilled that we're visiting them. But much as Lee wanted to spend the week perfecting her selfie technique with my sisters' electronic devices, reduce my grandfather's supply of Actimel, and explore the differences between German and British Netflix, I also insist on excursions.
Thanks for the very helpful "Top 10 Berlin" website (available in English and German) I found a list of the top 10 child-friendly museums in the city. After looking at the photos, we decided to check out the "MACHmit!" (Participate!) museum, which is currently home to a fairy-tale-based exhibit.
Prenzlauer Berg, where the museum is based, is a bit of a shlep from Wannsee but gave Missy the chance to go on her first-ever tram ride.
Though it's walkable, the closest U-Bahn (Eberswalder Strasse) and S-Bahn (Prenzlauer Allee) stops are about 1 km away from the museum and thus not the best option for little legs in crisp weather.
Based in an old church, the museum's exterior is quite striking. A long Rapunzel braid is suspended down the façade, and a Litfaß column and Berlin bear decorated with the museum's posters add to a pleasant atmosphere.
You start off by literally stepping a Grimm's fairy tales book cover, and downstairs, have the option to partake in some favorite Grimm's fairy tales:
You can be Hansel, stuck in his cage
Put on a Little Red Riding Hood puppet show
Open a curtain to see why grandmother has such big eyes
Check out some lovely little peephole dioramas with Schleich wolves
Take the bread from the oven like Goldmarie or leave it in like Pechmarie (this is from "Frau Holle," a fairy tale less well-known in the English-speaking world), and be rewarded either with a shower of gold, or punished when a bucketful of coal, tar and soot comes down over you (the contents don't actually come down in case this wasn't obvious).
There's also a hall of mirrors – shoes off – and an old-fashioned lost-and-found store:
Upstairs (note: the stairs can be a bit tricky to navigate) the fun goes on:
You can spin like Sleeping Beauty
Or get ready for the ball like Cinderella
This is also the part of the museum with the indoor playground - it's a bit like an apehouse at the zoo, and the little monkeys within all clambered around quite happily. Note that you can't wear shoes OR socks in this part of the playground, so slip-on or zippered shoes are a better option than lace-ups and tights in case the kids want to go in and out repeatedly (you can guess which Missy wore). Kids under 5 must be accompanied by equally barefooted adults.
We joined in two crafts activities: making fairy-tale collages (no additional charge) and putting together your own herbal tea mix (€1 per sachet). Missy wanted to join in the letterpress activity, but after about 3 hours of fun I called time.
The cafe is also quite cute - frothed milk ("kids' latte") is €0.50, and there's an assortment of baked goods and coffeehouse drinks at reasonable prices (though coming from the UK to Berlin, everything seems reasonable).
What age group will get the most out of the museum?
It's mostly suitable for the 2-10 age group, but younger ones will be able to toddle around freely and older ones can still have fun at the crafts stations (and the play area too if they're not too pre-teen abut it).
Pros in a nutshell
Many hands-on things to do, friendly and helpful staff, not too expensive, not especially crowded even though it's school vacation, and an easily overseeable not tacky indoor play area - perfect especially for the colder and darker months. I've already promised Missy we'll be back for Christmas break. And if you're based in Berlin, the museum also offers workshops, including the chance to get hands-on experience with an organ.
Are there any cons?
The building has a few signs of wear and tear (think water damage along the walls); otherwise, the smell (just a hint of drains) takes a few minutes to get used to. Lee asked me to add that the taps in the bathrooms run cold, "which is very uncomfortable." Strollers are meant to be left downstairs and I don't think there's an elevator on site (so not one if you have knee problems). Still, all very minor quibbles...

A cross-industry alliance: The key to the future of advertising
This article was originally written for, and published on, The Drum.
Read the original article, "Why the future of advertising depends on a cross-industry alliance", here.
Imagine a world in which marketing professionals are asked to deliver increased return on ad spend (ROAS) on a daily basis in the face of inaccurate performance metrics, questionable viewability, increasingly elusive consumers, fragmented data silos, skyrocketing media costs, and little-to-no industry bargaining power. Sounds pretty bleak, right?
Yet the truth is that in advertising, this is our reality. Tech titans Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Alibaba threaten to overpower all other players in the industry, implementing data policies and self-regulating performance metrics that skew in their favor. To make matters worse, consumers are changing their behavior more quickly than ever, along with their buying journeys – faster than companies can react. In order to protect the interests of advertisers and keep up with shifting consumer dynamics, cross-industry collaboration from media companies, agencies, and programmatic software providers is needed. The ecosystem must band together and use the powerful combination of data activation and premium media in order to survive and ultimately thrive.
1. Remember, strength lies in numbers
To give advertisers competitive alternatives that put brand safety and inventory quality first and foremost, media companies, agencies, and programmatic software providers must form an alliance to amplify their individual strengths.
Media companies possess premium content and extensive reach. Companies such as Sky, ITV and Channel 4 can offer their broad market reach and unique content to provide agencies with targeted, premium opportunities to reach their clients' audiences at scale.
Agencies bring client-specific strategic thinking, industry expertise, and creativity to the table. Amidst a slew of industry changes, agencies themselves are evolving to reposition themselves as expert partners when it comes to creating effective media strategies for clients. Agencies serve as a strategic guide and digital transformation partner for clients seeking to turn the negatives associated with changing consumer behavior into positives.
Programmatic software providers help media companies, agencies and their clients tackle this brave new world as efficiently as possible through programmatic execution. Programmatic software providers contribute buying technology for agency media planners, data modeling and analytics capabilities, and third-party brand safety enforcement and campaign measurement.

I've recently discovered a new service that I'm totally amazed by. Jott. It allows you to dial into a number on your phone, tell it who you want to send a message to and the dictate for thirty seconds. Within a few minutes it has sent a text and audio version of your message to wherever you told it to.
Not only can you send Jotts to email addresses, you can also Jott a whole slew of web 2.0 sites. Twitter, WordPress, Google Calenda etc..
I was curious to how this service works so I checked out their FAQs. I found that they use a combination of machine and human transcription. They do promise though that their transcribers work in a "clean" environment, similar to medical transcriptionists and that our information is protected.
Until recently their Canadian number was based in Toronto which required a long distance call for much of the country. Earlier this week they released a whole lot of local numbers for clear across Canada.
I've been in contact with the CEO, John Pollard, and hopefully I'll have an interview with him soon!

Pain has two parts: First, you uncomfortable in a specific part of your body. Second, there is your reaction. This is the "hurting" part that signals discomfort.
Pain warns you that damage is being done to your body. But, when pain becomes chronic and long after the physical problem has been medically treated, it is no longer needed as a warning!
Some discomfort is a reminder not to overdo, but the pain is no longer needed at the same intensity. The pain can still remain and this is when hypnosis can help you.
Hypnosis allows your conscious, critical mind to rest so you can be receptive to positive thoughts that help you to feel more comfortable.
In this relaxed state, you can use your own imagination to change your experience in a way that is acceptable and desirable and pleasant for you. So, with hypnosis, you gain more control over the pain.
When you are in hypnosis, you are awake and alert, but you feel deeply and pleasantly relaxed. And when you are deeply relaxed, you cannot feel uncomfortable.
Hypnosis is excellent for helping you to focus – helping you to focus away from discomfort and to re-focus on comfort.
My approach to Hypnosis for pain control works in several ways:
- When you're relaxed in hypnosis, you can't be uncomfortable. That is because relaxation is the opposite of discomfort.
- When you're relaxed, you can let go of uncomfortable sensations and tune into other more comfortable sensations.
- When you're deeply relaxed with hypnosis, you won't feel angry, anxious, or guilty and depressed. Hypnosis reduces the emotional impact of pain in your body.
- During hypnosis your concentration and imagination is more developed, focused and powerful. Your Unconscious Mind, is responsive to acceptable suggestions, so you do not have to try to respond; it just happens on its own, just as pain happens all on its own. So, you can permit yourself to let go. In fact, there is a pleasant surprise in that you can discover a pleasant difference in sensation in your body!
- Hypnosis allows your Unconscious Mind to open, and with your permission, I can give your Unconscious Mind the information needed to help you let go of pain. You can learn how to do this on your own. This is what makes hypnosis so helpful for pain management.
Hypnosis works for medically diagnosed pain. You don't to use hypnosis to mask the pain that signals that there is a medical condition that needs attention. We do want to use hypnosis to get rid of pain that has been medically determined to be unnecessary.
Hypnosis for pain control and pain relief is initially to help you into a pleasant and comfortable state of hypnosis and deep relaxation and teach you an exercise in self-hypnosis that will meet your individual needs. We can then explore different methods of coping with pain, while helping you to develop self hypnotic coping skills you can use on your own to feel more comfortable.
- Relieving tension and stress.
- Sharpen your mind.
- Re-program negative ideas and suggestions in your Conscious and Subconscious Mind that has been making your discomfort worse.
- Help you use your creative imagination to get comfortable and get out of pain.
- Help you resolve inner conflicts and thus, reduce stress, tension and pain.
- Teach you methods to distract and distance yourself from the pain.
- Teach you ways to alter and transform the pain sensations.
Call us anytime at (727) 200-8164 and we'll tell you more about Hypnosis and pain relief.

Gavin Lees wrote for Bleeding Cool from Stumptown last weekend;
For close to three decades, Stan Sakai has been working on the adventures of Usagi Yojimbo — a funny-animal story based in feudal Japan, which manages to maintain an incredible level of authenticity to the history and culture of the country, despite the fact that its protagonist is an anthropomorphic rabbit. It's a staggering body of work, which manages to maintain its momentum to this day.
While appearing as a guest of honour at this year's Stumptown Comics Festival, I took the opportunity to speak to Sakai about his plans for Usagi, and a new side-project that was recently announced. He is perhaps the nicest man I have ever met.
Gavin Lees: Usagi Yojimbo has been going for over 25 years now — how have you kept focus on the character for such a long period of time?
Stan Sakai: Usagi is going on 28 years now and I really enjoy the character. I've seen him grow from when I first started the series, and it's just exciting for me. With each new story comes a springboard for maybe two more. So, I've got stories and story-arcs that I'm laying down groundwork for that will be probably not be finished for another three, four or even five years from now. One is Tomoe's wedding — Tomoe Ame is the female samurai in the series — and I've announced that she's getting married. That marriage probably won't take place for quite a few years from now. I want to do the entire traditional Japanese marriage — a formal marriage with the go-betweens, the presenting of gifts to the families — the entire sequence of events that the nobility used to arrange marriages.
GL: Marriage is something I don't think you've touched upon in the series, and that authenticity that you spoke of there is something that I think is integral to your work. Are there certain aspects of Japanese culture, or history that you're still discovering and that you're planning to integrate into future stories?
SS: Oh yeah, there's a lot! I read a lot and every so often I'll come across a glimpse of… weird things in Japanese history. [Laughter] I did a story called "The Ice Runners" and this is because I saw a documentary on feudal Japan and it had remarked upon the ice runners. Basically, three guys would carry a block of ice, in the middle of summer, from the mountains up north and they would literally run for 500 kilometers to deliver ice to the shogun! So, I did a lot more research and then did a story on that.
GL: So, you never think you'll have to branch off and take Usagi into other timelines — like you did with Space Usagi — to keep finding ideas? There's still enough there to keep him going and keep the ideas fresh?
SS: Oh, definitely. I still want to do another Space Usagi miniseries, though. Space Usagi came about because I wanted to draw dinosaurs — I love dinosaurs! Ever since I was a kid, I've drawn dinosaurs, and I wanted to draw real dinosaurs in my comics. I had these lizards running around in Usagi, but that doesn't count. I wanted to draw dinosaurs with Usagi, and I had two alternatives: one was to take him to the distant past as a caveman, which didn't seem as much fun; or the other was to bring him over inot the future, where a space Usagi visits a dinosaur planet… and that's what he did!
GL: You've mentioned that when you end the series that you want to have a noble death for Usagi. Do you have the end of the series planned already?
SS: Well, when Usagi was first created, he was a secondary character in Nilson Groundthumper storyline and that had a definite beginning, middle and end, and Usagi would appear in page, maybe, 1,000 — this was going to be a 2,500-page graphic novel — and Usagi does die a glorious death in there. Once I started working on the Usagi series, I fell in love with the character, and the Nilson story fell by the wayside and I devoted all my time to Usagi. It's an ongoing series!
GL: That ongoing nature is interesting, because your work is very consistent — there have really been no periods where Usagi really slumped, or fell behind schedule. It still feels very fresh. Is having that consistency a curse where you feel you can't experiment, or change the characters dramatically?
SS: Well, I think you might be mistaken. My abilities as a storyteller have matured over the years, I hope, and if you look at the early years of Usagi, you can see a huge difference in the character. His proportions have changed — at the beginning, he was maybe three-heads high, now he's more like five-heads. So, he's gotten sleeker and he's not as cuddly any more. That may be because I've concentrated on more dramatic stories, rather than humorous, as the series went on. Most of the changes are unconscious on my part, though, just myself maturing as an artist and a storyteller.
GL: So, you and Usagi have really grown-up together! [Laughter] Do you find yourself being inspired by aspects of Japanese culture that you research when you're working on the book? Does it inform the way your live your life, or your cultural identity at all?
SS: Yeah, well, I'm third-generation Japanese-American, and I grew up in Hawai'i where there is a huge Japanese-American population. When a group emigrates from their native country to another area, they bring a lot of the culture with them. In a lot of cases, they preserve their culture much more fervently than in their native land. So, I grew up with things like the Obon festival, or taking Japanese language classes or Japanese culture classes.
GL: That's something people lose quite easily in America after a few years — their cultural identity becomes subsumed into the great melting pot of the country. I was wondering if Usagi was perhaps, in part, a way for you to stay in touch with your ancestral culture.
SS: Not so much. As a kid, there was a theatre down the street from me, and they would show samurai movies every Saturday, and I'd be there watching them. So, I grew up with all this.
GL: Now, you're about to explore Japanese history in a different on your next project, which I believe is an adaptation of the 47 Ronin. That was very surprising to me, because you are so innately tied to Usagi. What made you decide to take up this new project?
SS: I grew up with this story, and I've known it all my life. It's a very important incident in history. When Mike Richardson approached me with this, at first I was wary, until I started talking to him and finding out research he had already done, and how much he already knew — I was frankly impressed! This is something that I've wanted to do — it's been in the back of my mind for years, except using Usagi, and making the 47 ronin incident involve him. When Mike approached me with this, we were going to be doing it with humans and the character designs and art are going to be based on Japanese woodcut prints. It will be different, but it will still be my take on it.
GL: For anyone who's unfamiliar with the story of the 47 Ronin, can you give us a brief synopsis, and perhaps say why it's such an important story?
SS: Lord Asano was chosen to be one of the sponsors of an imperial visit to Edo — the former name of Tokyo — and he did not give the proper gift… or bribe, actually, to Lord Kira who was the head of protocol, while everyone else sis. So, Kira assumed that he deserved better from Asano, and he pretty much degraded him, saying that he was a country bumpkin! He then started giving him wrong advice and finally Lord Asano reached his limit. He drew his sword in the shogun's palace — which was a no-no — and attacked Lord Kira. Because of that, Asano was forced to commit seppuku — ritualized suicide — and his clan was disbanded. One of the higher officials of the clan had the plan to regroup the clan and exact their revenge upon Lord Kira. He was being watched all this time, so he was pretending to be a womanizer, to be a drunkard, and he divorces his wife, until they decided that he was no threat at all… and then it explodes into wild violence! [Laughter]
GL: And this is a historical story — not a myth or a folk tale?
SS: This is a historical story, yes. It's part of Japanese history and the shogun at that time, he was trying preserve the peace, but at the same time, these warriors followed a code of bushido, where you cannot the murderer of your lord live. So, he was in a dilemma over what to do — these men are naturally heroes now, but they went against the shogun's orders. So, it shows what a samurai warrior should be and should do.
GL: That same period and culture is also the setting for Usagi. Is it difficult to divorce yourself from Usagi when you're working on 47 Ronin?
SS: Actually, I have been doing a lot more research for the 47 Ronin story, even before I knew I was going to be working on it. I went to Japan in 2009 and I visited the temple where they are all buried, so I had all that reference before Mike even approached me. When Mike started sending me references, I was suddenly inundated with tons of things! We're trying to make it as accurate as possible, so details like the clan crests are going to be accurate. I thought I was doing a great job with Usagi in research, but then working on 47 Ronin, I realized that I've just been skating by! [Laughter] I've had to do so much more research on this.
GL: What about the change in your art style — you said it was going to be like ukiyo-e printing — are you changing your methods at all?
SS: Not that much. It's more influenced-by, rather than copied. It'll be my take on humans but it's a bit more stylized. Oh, I should mention that Kazuo Koike of Lone Wolf and Cub will be a technical advisor on this project, so that's a big feather in my cap.
GL: Was he someone you had met through your work on Usagi?
SS: No, but he's a friend of Mike's! Dark Horse published the complete Lone Wolf and Cub series. The other thing I should mention is that this will be a colour series, rather than black and white. So I will have accommodate things for colour.
GL: What type of colour — will this be watercolours like your Yokai book?
SS: No, there'll be a colourist. I'm not even doing my own lettering!
GL: So, will Tom Luth be doing the colouring? You've worked with him a lot in the past.
SS: I don't think Tom will be part of this project. We're debating who would be a good colourist for this.
GL: Are you finding it a challenge to work in such a different mode to your usual style?
SS: Not really. I've done other things before — I've done the samurai Hulk story for Marvel, and just a few month ago, my Rocketeer story appeared in Rocketeer Adventures. That was my take on Dave Stevens's character, which was great because I knew Dave, so that was a really neat thing that I was invited to be a part of.
GL: How long will 47 Ronin run for?
SS: It's a five-issue series, and it will be collected as a trade-paperback when it's completed. And Universal is actually working on the movie right now, with Keanu Reeves. I actually think that it was Mike that proposed the idea to them, but… the story's changed a bit in the movie.
GL: He proposed the movie idea?
SS: I think so. I'm not sure what the sequence of events was. Dark Horse have a history with Universal Studios, all the way back to The Mask.
GL: So, once this project wraps-up, are you going straight back to Usagi?
SS: Right after the 47 Ronin wraps up, I want to do a Usagi Yojimbo mini-series before going back to the regular series. The mini-series will be Usagi in War of the Worlds. [Laughter] What if… a Martian scout ship had landed in feudal Japan, two centuries before H.G. Wells's War of the Worlds in Victorian England? I love the visual of these giant tripods against armoured samurai warriors, and ninja versus these octopus things. I had different endings in mind — one of them, which will not be the ending of the real series, was that Usagi would open a sushi bar with the alien octopus. [Laughter] So, I'm having a lot of fun with it, mainly because of the visuals. This will take place 25 years into Usagi's future, so major characters may die-off. It will be like one of those old Superman imaginary stories, so I can play around with stuff like that.

Poseidon-2 is a nadir-looking radar altimeter that maps the topography of the sea surface. Derived from the Poseidon-1 (ALT) altimeter on Topex/Poseidon, it measures sea level, wave heights and wind speed determined from the shape and strength of the radar-return pulse. The altimeter emits a radar beam that is reflected back to the antenna from the Earth's surface. Poseidon-2 operates at two frequencies (13.6 GHz in the Ku-band, 5.3 GHz in the C-band) to determine atmospheric electron content, which affects the radar signal path delay. These two frequencies also serve to measure the amount of rain in the atmosphere.
Poseidon-2 was designed by Alcatel Space Industries (ASPI) for CNES Toulouse Space Center, and is essentially an improved version of the Poseidon-1 altimeter that flies on TOPEX/Poseidon. Poseidon-2 improves on Poseidon-1 by adding a second frequency at 5.3 GHz, changing to digital technology, and using a new more powerful rad-hard microprocessor. It makes these improvements while keeping the same compact mass and size as its predecessor.

I work as a consultant and I have three 1password.com accounts in my Windows application.
The problem I have is that the Windows 1Password application chooses by itself which account that unlocks, and it's the wrong one.
How do I select an account that should be the "master" account that unlocks the 1Password application?
1Password Version: 7.2.580
Extension Version: Not Provided
OS Version: Windows 10
Sync Type: 1Password accounts
Hi @Ducam,
Thanks for writing in.
1Password uses the password of the first account or standalone vault you signed in to encrypt its local database, you cannot switch to any specific account you want.
If you want to change to the specific account you must sign out of the first account(s) via the Account menu, 1Password will switch to the next account you added as it becomes the first and updates its master key to match that account. You can then re-add the other account(s) after you have the account you want as the first.
We do plan to support the ability to change the master password in a future update but it'd update the first account's password as well.
Note, while we do generally do not recommend reusing passwords, this doesn't apply to 1Password accounts as we use unique secret keys in addition to master password. Many of us on 1Password team reuses the same master password for many of our 1Password accounts.

trick or treat
I apologise for slightly changing the calming, serene tone of Sarah's recent posts but with Halloween just a few days away our house is going ghoulie mad! Back from a few sunny, relaxing days in Cornwall this morning we were stuck at home in the pouring rain. Thankfully I'd spied some creepy, chocolate fingers in the super market a while ago and, a few match boxes later I had a Halloween project.
Expecting the normal visit of Trick or Treaters on Sunday evening we have made some Trick or Treat boxes. Each visiting spook can choose their own box and discover for themselves what lies inside. The lucky ones will walk away with a chocolate finger, the unlucky ones will be subjected to an old joke - you know the one, where you put a hole in the bottom of the match box tray and stick your own (blood covered) finger through it.
A practical joke that is, according to Boy, 'awesome'.

YESTERDAY, THEJOURNAL.IE REPORTED the dangerous predicament of a large pod of dolphins off Western Australia's south coast.
Between 100 and 150 pantropical spotted dolphins found themselves in shallow water at Whalers Cover, near Albany. One had already died.
The Department of Environment and Conservation set its experts to work and managed to herd the large pod out to sea, avoiding a potential mass stranding at Two Peoples Baby Nature Reserve.
Officers monitored the dolphins until high tide, when conditions were suitable for them to be guided out to deeper water.
Nature conservationist Dean Utber said officers moved a young dolphin by boat to deeper waters as part of the operation.
"The juvenile was sending out distress signals, which was calling the dolphins in, as soon as it was translocated to deeper waters the pod followed it out and last we saw they were swimming out to sea."
A spotter plane conducted aerial surveillance off the coastline and no pod was found. Utber thanked all those involved in the successful operation.
Unfortunately, dolphins off the Irish coast weren't so lucky this week as 12 creatures were found washed up on Achill Island.
Yesterday: Twelve dolphins found dead on Achill Island

Gastritis Symptoms and Treatment of the Disease – Gastritis often gives no clear signs and symptoms are sometimes similar to symptoms of other diseases of the digestive system. Gastritis is also called gastric catarrh. Another proliferation name – ilnflammation of the stomach.
In medicine, Gastritis distinguishes acute and chronic. Acute and chronic Gastritis is equally dangerous because it can lead to bleeding and extensive ulceration (gastric ulcer).
With Gastritis cannot joke, not a cure Gastritis facing multiple complications.
Gastritis stomach is often the case, due to the actions of chemicals or pathogenic bacteria. If Gastritis symptoms occur acutely manifested by pain in the epigastric region, nausea, sometimes vomiting eaten food with mucus, bile, cumulative fatigue. In the case of complications of Gastritis, added signs of lowering blood pressure, the patient noted pale skin, rapid heartbeat, sometimes increases the body temperature.
Symptoms of chronic Gastritis with normal or elevated acidity – is constipation and heartburn after meals and acidic contents. After the food, the patients complain of a feeling of heaviness after eating. If there are signs and symptoms of Gastritis with high acidity, we speak of epigastric abdominal pain, heartburn, sometimes vomiting. Patients with high acidity of gastric juice and tormented night hunger pains, which extend when the patient eats something.
For patients with moderate acidity, Gastritis symptoms are nausea, especially in the morning. Bad taste in the mouth, loss of appetite, rumbling in the abdomen, patients suffer from diarrhea or constipation. Often, patients regurgitate air. Chronic Gastritis symptoms of the disease – it is a nasty taste in the mouth, nausea, epigastric overflow, drooling, loss of appetite and weight loss, and symptoms of general decline forces, and anemia, dyspepsia.
Catarrhal Gastritis symptoms
Gastritis symptoms and treatment may be different. Catarrhal Gastritis (simple) – the most common. Its cause is intemperance in eating and drinking, the idiosyncrasy of silt that kind of food or medicine poisoning. Also, catarrhal Gastritis may be caused by infection by eating stale food, food poisoning. After the cessation of the stimulus, the mucous can regenerate itself. ¬Catarrhal Gastritis appears in four or eight hours after the exposure occurred when a negative factor. One of the symptoms of catarrhal Gastritis can be called a pain in his stomach, a feeling of saturation of the stomach followed by nausea and vomiting may upset the entire digestive tract, and progression and complications, a small increase in temperature to 37 – 38 degrees. Symptoms of vertigo can be added, the appearance of weakness and poor health of the patient as a whole.
Corrosive Gastritis symptoms
Corrosive Gastritis – this type is associated with exposure to aggressive stomach liquids such as acids and alkalis, causing them to burn (chemical burns of the mucous). Peptic ulcer disease is a frequent complication of erosive Gastritis, as it affects not the superficial layers of the mucous membrane of the walls and deeper with scarring of the stomach.
- Gastritis giant hypertrophic symptoms
- Symptoms of gastroenteritis
Gastritis with high acidity
This Gastritis gastric mucosal pathology because gastric acid secretion was functioning. Gastritis with high acidity (hyperacid Gastritis) patients reports pain only during the exacerbation of the disease. Gastritis with acidity which symptoms usually expressed a feeling of heaviness in the stomach, the pain is mild, not sharp. The symptoms of Gastritis often start after a meal. Maybe hungry pain, which is more intense than the first. When engaging in the painful process of the bowel, patients suffer from constipation, pain becomes extensive in nature, spreading to the entire abdominal section. Disrupted the whole digestive tract of the patient body. It appears dyspepsia: heartburn, acid regurgitation, nausea, unpleasant taste in the mouth.
Gastritis with high acidity is characterized by a change of exacerbations and remissions but without a pronounced seasonality. Gastritis with high acidity in the initial symptoms is mild and hardly noticeable to the patient.
The reasons for the appearance of Gastritis are varied; it is a tradition and smoking, abuse of too hot and spicy food, alcohol. Do not rule out a genetic predisposition of the patient. Most often suffer from Gastritis hyper acid in young people who eat cold food, halting sandwiches, hot dogs and drinking all Coca-Cola is the very bad effect on the stomach smoking, in particular on an empty stomach, empty stomach. In modern medicine, are not inclined to diagnose Gastritis with high or low acidity, and the appointment of strict diets and all blamed everything on the bacterium Helicobacter. Treatment is aimed at the destruction of Helicobacter antibiotics.
Now there are three types of Gastritis with high acidity
|High acidity Gastritis
|The Gastritis type A
|Genetic predisposition
|Gastritis type B
|The bacterium Helicobacter
|The Gastritis type C
|Action chemicals
The reason may be reflux Gastritis, which is caused by a hernia of esophagus apertures of fullness, pressure, intra-abdominal fat in the stomach contents. Frequent symptoms of Gastritis, heartburn there.
Acute Gastritis symptoms
The aggravation of Gastritis – is an intense sharp pain with nausea and vomiting, symptoms of the severe form of the patient. Often the patient is bloating. Acute Gastritis is due to gross violations of the nutritional, genetic predisposition to disease. Acute Gastritis, chronic Gastritis rolling in successive phases of remission (an imaginary recovery) results in a plague, and that provokes dangerous cancer.
Age indicators Gastritis does not get sick, and young and old people.
Acute Gastritis Treatment starts with washing the 2% solution of sodium bicarbonate or alkaline mineral water and holding the bowel cleansing (enema).
If you suspect that the bacterium Helicobacter pylori prescribed antibiotic therapy. Be sure to assign the absorbent means:
- steatite,
- Activated carbon,
- Maalox
Chronic Gastritis Symptoms and Treatment
If you do not pay attention to the symptoms and pain, Gastritis becomes chronic with alternating exacerbations and imaginary improvement and recovery. It is necessary to break the diet and chronic Gastritis symptoms back again. Exclude the impact of dilution factors and go through a full course of treatment by a specialist gastroenterologist. In some cases, chronic Gastritis and its symptoms occur without giving clear signs of stomach disease.
The leading causes of chronic Gastritis:
- abnormal diet,
- infection (Helicobacter pylori infection)
- mucosa due to trauma destruction
- autoimmune mechanisms
Acute erosive Gastritis symptoms
It is characterized by the following features:
- abdominal pain on an empty stomach or 1 – 1.5 hours after ingestion,
- heartburn,
- belching,
- nausea and vomiting
- the appearance of dark vomit blood clots form in the veins or
- dark,
Symptoms of chronic atrophic Gastritis and autoimmune
- bloating, heaviness in the stomach after eating,
- dull pain immediately after a meal or 15-20 minutes,
- Nausea after ingestion,
- constipation or diarrhea,
- Loss of appetite,
- unpleasant taste in the mouth,
- weight loss,
- severe weakness, drowsiness, irritability
- belching foul, putrid odor,
- bloating, rumbling in the abdomen, bloating,
- Anemia, brittle and dry hair, nails bundle.
Autoimmune Gastritis Symptoms
It is this type of disease in which the body in the form of immune response starts to "eat" your stomach. The immune system starts to behave aggressively towards him in the stomach and the cells rather than germs and infections (autoimmune disease). The cause for such a reaction may be a hereditary factor and the effect of Helicobacter bacteria.
While the Gastritis is not dangerous for the patient's life, but the consequences of his equally formidable, such as stomach ulcers, open bleeding cancer. Patients with Gastritis are inferior living life. Quality reduced their torment pain after eating, nausea and vomiting. Patients lose weight fast, their torments heartburn, bleeding lead to anemia. Disrupt the work of the entire digestive tract, resulting in the aggravation of other diseases. Do not tighten your visit to the doctor, start the treatment in time.
Diagnostics Gastritis
Diagnosis of Gastritis, the doctor puts the patient by complaints from the mandatory carrying out a gastroscopy.

There is a range of measures for the diagnosis of Gastritis, and the simplest and most frequent can be called a complete blood count (indices of blood cells: white blood cells, platelet count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate). In general, a blood test is often in patients with autoimmune Gastritis have symptoms of anemia with a lack of vitamin B12. Anemia – macrocytosis of erythrocytes with Jolly corpuscles. Your doctor may also order tests for occult blood.
It will help in the diagnosis of Gastritis and blood chemistry. The biochemical analysis of blood parameters look at protein and blood protein fractions, serum vitamin B12 indicators determination digestive enzymes.
In the diagnosis of gastric ulcer:
- General urine analysis;
- Cytology Biopsy of the mucous membrane;
- Histological analysis mucosa.
X-ray is not currently doing and is used only at the time of diagnosis for diseases such as gastric cancer, peptic ulcer disease. Clinically, the symptoms of Gastritis and these conditions are similar, but the patient does not give you the opportunity to gastroscopy: an old man's age, accompanied by severe heart disease, lung, etc. The effectiveness of X-rays at the present stage, of course, a low acid test method using tablets informative enough for the doctor.
Gastroscopy can detect swelling of the mucous membrane, micro-bleeding, erosion. To eliminate the symptoms of Gastritis are similar to acute myocardial infarction, a sick person does an electrocardiogram, pain, in this case, may not be the area of the heart and the stomach. When probing study the stomach and its secretary function, measure the pH of the patient's gastric juices.
Medication treatment of Gastritis
Gastritis treatment aimed to reduce gastric acidity. To do this, use the following honey. drugs:
- alma gel, Aluminum phosphate gel;
- ranitidine,
- famotidine;
- platifillin,
- atropine;
- Astrin,
- pyrene,
- gastropin;
- omeprazole
- rabeprazole
From folk treatments for Gastritis is not bad proven enveloping substances based on a decoction of flax seed treatment with white clay, steatite. To normalize digestive function in the treatment of Gastritis Female prescribe medications containing:
- pancreatin
- festal,
- Digital,
- medium forte, panzinorm
When Gastritis with acidity, caused by bacteria are treated with antibiotics:
- omeprazole
- esomeprazole,
- pilorid,
- clarithromycin
- tindazol,

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed women's cancer (with the notable exception of skin cancer). A woman's risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer at some point during her lifetime is one in eight.
Ovarian cancer is much less common. According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), a woman's lifetime risk for ovarian cancer is just one in 75. But of the two cancers, ovarian is much more deadly.
The ACS estimates that about 22,440 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer this year — and 14,080 will die of it, a mortality rate of 63 percent. Contrast that with breast cancer's mortality rate of just 16 percent, and it's clear why it's important to assess your own ovarian cancer risk.
While there's a great disparity between outcomes, these two cancers are inextricably linked, at least for a portion of the population.
What's the specific link between breast and ovarian cancer?
In a word: genes. The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes have been identified as key determinants in whether or not a woman will be diagnosed with breast or ovarian cancer. Both of these genes help suppress tumors; when they become mutated, often by a series of small injuries, they lose their ability to work against tumors — and your cancer risk goes up, usually precipitously.
While BRCA gene mutations can happen randomly, they can also be passed along from generation to generation. A person whose mother or father carries the mutated genes has a 50 percent risk of carrying them his- or herself.
If you haven't had either cancer and don't have a serious family history of either disease, then there's no need for you to worry. But if you're at increased risk for either of these two cancers due to family history or an identified genetic mutation, you may have a condition called Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC), which affects about 1 percent of the general population.
According to the National Cancer Institute, being diagnosed with HBOC can raise your risk of ovarian cancer to as high as 39 percent, while breast cancer risk can reach 65 percent.
Can you determine if you're in this small but dangerous risk group?
Yes. Genetic testing is commonly used to identify men or women with HBOC. Covered by most insurance companies under the Affordable Care Act, genetic testing is painless and yields results in about a month.
How do you know if you should undergo genetic testing?
Speak with your doctor. S/he'll help you look at your family history to see if either breast or ovarian cancer is more than a random occurrence, either on your mother's or father's side. Your doctor will have a checklist of questions to ask, ranging from relatives' ethnicity to the number, type, age at diagnosis, and outcome of cancer cases on both sides of your family. Our article on BRCA genetic testing will help you prepare.
If you and your doctor decide genetic testing is warranted, don't put it off. It's scary to think that you may be a "walking time bomb," with cancer in your future a distinct possibility. But knowing you're at increased risk for breast or ovarian cancer can help you make informed decisions about possible preventive treatment: e.g., removal of your breasts or ovaries, both of which reduce the risk of cancer significantly.
Bottom line
For the vast majority of us, both breast and ovarian cancer are random occurrences, no more predictable than a car accident or a tumble down the stairs. But there's a genetic link between breast cancer and ovarian cancer for a very small percentage of the population — and knowing whether or not you're in that small percentage could very well save your life.

One name that did well in 2008 was Tom Forester at Forester Value (FVALX) We highlighted this name in November [Nov 14, 2008: 1 Stock Mutual Fund is Positive in America... ok WAS Positive] The irony is he uses the same back office administrator I've been working with which caters to small funds - Forester was at $40M when we wrote the story in November and already has surged to $70M. Performance brings dinero - even if 0% is performance :) (remember 0% return is the new 40%)
The Wall Street Journal had an article late last week with some thoughts on where to from here
- Thomas H. Forester somehow managed to be the only stock mutual fund manager among 8,200 peer diversified U.S. stock offerings to post a gain for 2008. Those funds had a 39% average loss, while his Forester Value fund ended the year with a small 0.4% gain.
- Mr. Forester, 50 years old, is an unlikely hero. He has toiled in obscurity for most of his 20-year investment career. His $70 million fund is less than a tenth the size of the average U.S. stock fund. And one year it lagged behind the S&P 500 by nearly 30 points. His wife, Kaye, wanted him to fold it a year ago unless he could improve his results.
- His success hasn't gone unnoticed. The fund has swelled $20 million in the past two months, while parts of the $9.6 trillion mutual-fund industry are battling record withdrawals. He recently visited Philadelphia and Long Island to meet brokers newly interested in selling the Forester fund. He made his first TV appearance in December.
- Good luck to him. The mutual-fund industry is obsessed with one-year returns, and last year's winners can be this year's flameouts. "It's the nature of the business, you can go from hero to goat to hero again quite quickly," says Ryan Jacob.
- And he should know. Mr. Jacob helped run Kinetics Internet fund, the nation's top performer in 1998. He famously returned 196% that year amid the dot-com bubble. His assets ballooned from $5 million in 1998 to more than $600 million in 1999. He then departed to start his own Jacob Internet fund. It took an 80% dive in 2000. It's down 6% on average for the past five years and has amassed just $25 million.
- Mr. Forester, a boyish, softspoken man who wears jeans and fleece to work on cold winter days, is eager to prove the win was more a stroke of genius than a stroke of luck. But retaining the championship is a tall order. A lot of his success in 2008 came not from great stock picks but from taking large cash positions. Already, the positive return is slipping away. He's down 13% so far in 2009. (yo, we're beating him by 11%)
- By 2007, "I was at the end of my rope," he says. His fund had barely attracted $2 million. He and a partner, Michael Ditzler, invested 40% of that personally. Mr. Forester and his wife were burning through their savings supporting their two children.... But his wife was annoyed. "I just kept asking myself, 'When is this going to happen?'" she says.
- Sitting in their living room in October 2007, the two agreed Mr. Forester would close shop if he wasn't beating the S&P 500 by 10 points by March 2008. "I can't give up when everything is right on the threshold of the way I thought it would happen," he recalls telling his wife.
- He was expecting a market crash, having monitored government data for years suggesting to him that housing prices were going to fall off a cliff. He dumped financials like Citigroup Inc. by March 2008. The bank has fallen more than 85% since then. He snapped up health-care stock Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., which rose 8% while he held it last year.
- Forester Value beat the S&P 500 by 9.5 points through March, and that was good enough for Mrs. Forester. She agreed he should stick with the business. And she's glad she did. She and Mr. Forester often drive to get coffee together early in the morning and talk about the growing business. They've considered buying a sport utility vehicle to replace her old red van.
- Oil stock EOG Resources Inc. rose 60% when he held it from January to May. Mr. Forester sold some shares by June. That helped him sidestep the commodities collapse last summer. He bought some Bank of America Corp. stock at $18 a share in July and sold the bulk at $30 in September. (It's now trading at about $5.)
- By summer, his fund had hit No. 1. He then hoarded cash, salting away 30% of his assets in cash by September, and thus largely avoided the year-end crash. He also held on all year to McDonald's Corp. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the only two stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average with gains last year.
- Mr. Forester has tried, in a rocky market, to keep his roll going. One day late in January, he sat in his office contemplating the situation. He was horrified by insurer Allstate Corp.'s bad earnings that week. The holding is "a pain in my side," he muttered. Another holding, manufacturer Textron Inc., tanked 32% that day after reporting a disappointing quarter.

Want to get into 3D printing? It's an exciting and evolving field for sure, but can also be an expensive one. Here are 5 questions every designer should ask themselves before taking the plunge...
01. How much money should I spend?
Not all 3D printers cost the same
First, consider what the printer's main purpose will be. If you'll be using it for an artistic venture, you should opt for a capable budget printer. However, if you want to create professional prototypes, to show clients and moving parts, think about investing a little more on a printer with a wider range of features and higher print quality. Check out these articles:
- 5 affordable 3D printers for designers
- The best pro 3D printers
- 3 great desktop 3D printers for clutter-free designers
- 3 great budget 3D printers
02. Will I be making moving parts?
Different products require different levels of 3D printing sophistication
This might seem like a strange question, but different 3D printers have different limitations, so you need to ensure it can do the job you require it to. For example, in some more complex models or parts, overhangs may not be able to be printed, or layer delamination may cause parts to break in certain machines.
03. Should I use a 3D print service?
Using a 3D print service takes a huge chunk of work out of the equation
If your budget or storage space doesn't allow for your own personal 3D printer, then fear not, you're still able to print using a dedicated 3D printing service, such as Shapeways. This might be a better option for you as you can turn your ideas from digital designs into real products from your desktop and have them shipped to your door.
04. What material should I use?
3D printers tend to use plastic filaments. The most common consumables used by 3D printers using the FDM (fused deposition modelling) technology are ABS, PLA and PVA – all of which are used in a large variety of applications in the industry and come in a number of colours, diameters and lengths. Before you buy, check the materials options. Start with our easy guide to 3D printing materials.
05. What software do I need?
Lots of software companies are vying for the 3D printing market, so it pays to shop around
If you're just getting started, there are a number of 3D modelling software options available that can be downloaded for free. SketchUp is fun and free and known for being easy to use. Blender is also a good free option, as are basic apps like SculptGL and OpenSCAD – this software application creates solid 3D CAD objects using OpenCSG.

How bad is a cheap 3D printer?
Before buying a cheap 3d printer always ask yourself these questions!
1: What type of support are you getting?
2: Does it come with a warranty?
3: Ask to view Sample Prints, Print Quality, and Capabilities
4: look at Specs, Construction,
5: build size ( most cheap printers have a small print volume does this suit what you will be using it for?
The trouble is that people who don't understand all of the common problems most cheap printers have, think that price point for a decent machine is too high, but for small production runs, there really isn't any comparison.I hope that as the consumer market matures, customers will look to higher quality machines that may be a little more expensive, but will save them huge amounts of time and stress.

Knowledge about STL file?
For 3D printing, the most common file format is Standard Triangle Language (STL). In simple words, your design will be translated into triangles in the 3D space. Most 3D modeling software applications have the option to export your designs to an STL file and set the desired resolution. The following is a visual representation of different file resolutions from extremely high (left) to quite low (right):
Resolutions that are too low or too high can cause problems while modeling for 3D printing.
Low-resolution STL file : It's important to be aware that a poor-quality export will never be able to deliver a good print. Low-resolution means that the triangles in your STL file are big and the surface of your print will not be smooth. Just like digital imaging, lower resolutions leads to a "pixelated" print.
Very high-resolution STL file : A file with a high resolution will make your file too big adding challenges during printing. As it contains higher level of details, printing will be time-consuming and some 3D printers may not be able to print at all. We suggest your aim to maintain the file size below 15MB before uploading your model to our website.

3D Printer Filament Types :ABS
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene [abs] 3D Printer Filamentsranks as the second most popular 3D printer filament, after PLA. But that just means it's the second most commonly used. With respect to its material properties, ABS is actually moderately superior to PLA, despite being slightly more difficult to print with. It's for this reason that ABS is found in many manufactured household and consumer goods, including LEGO bricks and bicycle helmets!
Products made of ABS boast high durability and a capacity to withstand high temperatures, but 3D printer enthusiasts should be mindful of the filament's high printing temperature, tendency to warp during cooling, and intense fumes. Be sure to print with a heating bed, and in a well-ventilated space.
Read our in-depth article on this 3D printer filament
3D Printer Filament Properties: ABS
- Strength: High | Flexibility: Medium | Durability: High
- Difficulty to use: Medium
- Print temperature: 210°C – 250°C
- Print bed temperature: 80°C – 110°C
- Shrinkage/warping: Considerable
- Soluble: In esters, ketones, and acetone
- Food safety: Not food safe
When should I use ABS 3D printer filament?
ABS is tough – able to withstand high stress and temperature. It's also moderately flexible. Together these properties make ABS a good general-purpose 3D printer filament, but where it really shines is with items that are frequently handled, dropped, or heated. Examples include phone cases, high-wear toys, tool handles, automotive trim components, and electrical enclosures.
