  We posted the 3D printer as soon as we crossed the border on Friday afternoon. Waiting until we reached Odesa would have delayed it by at least a day or, as events unfolded, may have meant losing it altogether. The lads received it on Sunday afternoon, at roughly the same time Kharkiv's Nova Poshta depot was destroyed, tragically claiming the lives of three people. A huge thank you to Colleen & Ed for making this possible. Your generosity will make a real difference to the unit and is deeply appreciated.

  

  3D printer donated by Colleen & Ed received by the unit on Sunday afternoon (July 20). Posted from border crossing to avoid delay. Coincided with Nova Poshta Kharkiv depot attack (3 killed). Printer now in production.

  Advancement in Ukrainian drone technology is not happening in some polished state-of-the-art laboratory. It is the accumulation of small frontline “Vampire” laboratories built by exhausted but highly intelligent people adapting in real time under war conditions. To everyone who helped toward the large €2,300 printer — thank you for trusting in us idiots. Because she is already humming away printing parts for a new prototype. (Idiots guide: think of it like designing a new engine component or head gasket for a car.) You can clearly see now why a small cheap printer was not sufficient for the work required. What are they doing? “We are designing a new large drone and printing new parts for it. The green platform is where the repeater will be mounted.” This is exactly why your donations matter. Please also remember our current fundraiser.

  

  Printer delivered and operational. Vampire team printing parts for a new prototype drone ('new large drone with repeater mount platform'). Proof of use confirmed in post image.

  We can accept we are idiots and here is some proof of the idiotic things we have done Video 1- We spent €2,000 of our own money to buy Rugby Team Merchandise as a mechanism to raise funds to support Rugby Team & Phoenix Picture 2 & the link below is our 1st ever "Urgently needed" Fund raiser for €2,300 of which we managed to collect €829 from some brilliant people Picture 3- €1,471 needed & the printer needed I called the wife & she said "fuck it, just send it" This is the printer in Nova Postal because this is what idiots like us do on a monthly basis, yes a monthly basis and I have already spent over €400 on this trip Picture 4 - Caused me to Rage deliver the L200 to the lads so they can prep it, not just to save time, but to show people what an actual front line vehicle is so we can gather the funds & in the process educate the experts because thats what idiots do.

  

  €829 raised (up from €788); €1,471 still needed. Printer shown in Nova Poshta shipping center — dispatched for personal delivery to Ukraine.

  Thank you to everyone who donated €788 euro & you will get recognition on the printer as I was busy dealing with a matter detrimental to 🇺🇦I that feel very strongly about. I am leaving now to at least have it in for onward transmission on receipt of funds as I cannot go later in the week. This is an important component that keeps numerous Vampire teams running. & Yes 2 cheaper ones could have been bought for this money, but 3 inches more print capacity is a lot, even an inch is a lot to some 😉 We are €1,527 short on purchase cost

  

  €788 raised toward €2,300 printer goal; €1,527 still needed. Organizer departing to deliver printer in person for onward transmission to Ukraine (Vampire drone teams). Donors to receive recognition on the printer.

  Stall signal: 'hoping to leave later with it, but a long way off financially.' Fundraiser well short of €2,300 goal.

  Appeal: '3D printer has to replace the one that serviced the needs of 24 drone teams.' Please support by donating or sharing.

  Our first ever urgent fundraiser. The lads contacted me earlier — their big printer has just died. This printer services all the Vampire teams and is necessary for ongoing operations. I have already paid for and collected the replacement, but I cannot personally cover the full €2,300 while still having the L200 in Odesa unpaid. I will bring the printer into Ukraine and send it by Nova Poshta on Monday, as driving to Kharkiv is no longer realistic with fuel at €2 per liter We will give merchandise for donations. Please help if you can — or at least repost. @NLwartracker @GhostTrainBlaze

  

  Initial announcement: printer died, replacement purchased for €2,300, needs community funding.
