3D printing: news and updates from Ukraine Support Fund.
Defenders from the 107th separate battalion of territorial defense forces put two types of magazine loaders head to head to see which one is faster to use. It looks like the 3D-printed one we made took the victory. People sometimes have fun even in war.
Sergiy finished printing and assembling 300 magazine loaders which are going to DrukArmy (https://drukarmy.org.ua/en) for final distribution to the military. He used over 18 kg of plastic to make these.
A motorized infantry battalion of the 53rd separate mechanized brigade received 50 magazine speed loaders from our volunteers.
To continue magazine speed loader production, we purchased more carabiner clips, at the cost of ₴5380 (CA$180/US$130). That might not be a large sum, but we make small purchases like this several times a day, be it hardware for rain ponchos, cord for camo netting, or trigger…Read more: To continue magazine speed loader production, we purchased more carabiner clips…
80 more 3D-printed tailfins have been shipped to DrukArmy (https://drukarmy.org.ua/en) for distribution to the military. Our 3D printers are very busy these days.
Thanks to everyone who helped us raise funds for the EcoFlow power station which helps our volunteers operate their 3D printers even during recurring power blackouts. In the past 3 days, we produced over 70 large tailfins for drone-borne munitions. We used over 7 kg of plastic…Read more: Thanks to everyone who helped us raise funds for the EcoFlow power station which…
The fundraiser for EcoFlow Delta 2 power station for our volunteer 3D printing facility that we started a couple weeks ago (see May 17, 2024 for details), has been completed. Our volunteers were able to buy the device and now can operate their 3D printers even during a blackout…Read more: The fundraiser for EcoFlow Delta 2 power station for our volunteer 3D printing…
Some of the output of our 3D printing operations ended up in the hands of the 73rd Naval Special Operations Center. They received magazine loaders for NATO-spec assault rifles from our volunteers.
Sergiy keeps operating his park of 3D printers almost around the clock (at least when there is no rolling power blackouts which became quite a frequent occurrence). He is making all kinds of devices and individual parts requested by defenders. Here are just a few things being…Read more: Sergiy keeps operating his park of 3D printers almost around the clock (at least…
The 79th air assault brigade received 10 magazine loaders from our volunteers.
We purchased over 50kg of PETG plastic filament for our 3D printers to continue production of vital parts for our defenders. The cost of this purchase was ₴26,119 (CA$900/US$650). Thanks to your donations, we can afford to keep purchasing supplies like this.
A new batch of 20,000 trigger springs for the magazine speed loaders we purchased. As usual, many of these springs will be sent to individual volunteers across Ukraine who makes magazine loaders on their 3D printers.
