India Inc. leaner with Covid-19; net debt cut 30%, gross debt 17%
Nifty trading at 68% premium—highest in 10 years due to massive deleveraging
By Rajiv Ranjan Singh, Sep 9, 2021
India Inc. has taken a leaf out of the downturn in the pandemic-stricken economy to tighten its belt via massive deleveraging.
Corporate India's gross debt reduced by almost one fifth and net debt (gross debt minus cash) by a very substantial—one third.
In FY 2021 (April 2020- March 2021), corporate India has reduced net debt by nearly 30% and gross debt by 17%, which coincided with the massive bull run in Indian equity markets. The go-go market of 20s is flying on the back of huge savings and profit generation from this deleveraging.
According to Capitaline Database, 750 companies reduced their gross debt by ₹3 lakh crore to ₹14.7 lakh crore in FY21 from ₹17.71 lakh crore in FY20 and net debt by ₹4 lakh crore to ₹9.5 lakh crore in March 2021 from ₹13.51 lakh crore in March 2020.
To be sure, corporate India has never seen such a massive deleveraging and experts believe this will lead to revival of the next capex cycle for private sector. Private investments into new capacity generation had come to a standstill in the past one decade as aggregate capacity utilisation remained in a tight band of 60%-65%, leaving more than three years of headroom for growth in most sectors.
As per Capitaline database, top five gross debt reducing sectors in last fiscal were: refineries (₹75,823 crore), steel (₹44,635 crore), textiles (₹14,384 crore), fertilisers (₹10,780 crore) and power generation (₹10,230 crore).
Though, current deleveraging is broadbased but two companies namely Reliance Industries (approx. ₹67,656 crore) and Tata Steel (approx. ₹31,000 crore) played a key role in reducing gross debt of corporate India. At group level, Reliance gross debt came to ₹2.43 lakh crore in FY 2021 from ₹3.1 lakh crore in FY 2020. Tata Group (excluding Tata Motors) gross debt reduced by ₹45,853 crore and stood at ₹1.34 lakh crore in March 2021 from ₹1.8 lakh crore in March 2020.
"In my career of over 30 years, I have never seen such rapid pace of deleveraging. Smart money is flowing into markets purely on the back of earnings improvement and net debt reduction," says Sandeep Shenoy, a market veteran and Executive Director of Mumbai based Investment boutique firm Pioneer Invest Corp. Even though global liquidity has got all the credit for stock market rally but a bigger picture is massive deleveraging and strengthening of Corporate India's balance sheet.
Shenoy has a valid point as India is the major beneficiary of foreign institutional investors. India received $31.26 billion (₹2.34 lakh crore) in last 12 months ending July 2021. Globally, this was the largest emerging market FIIs equity flow, according to Bloomberg. In fact, in the same period, except Brazil all prominent emerging markets saw a net outflow.
Global liquidity is following solid fundamental growth in terms of key valuation parameters. Nifty EBITDA margins were up 427 basis points, PAT margins were up 287 basis points while net debt came down to 0.4x in FY21 from 0.7x in FY20.
Due to solid recovery in earnings and global inflow, Nifty is currently trading at 68% premium to Emerging Markets, it's highest in the last 10 years. The market is currently trading at 21.4 times one year forward earnings which is way above 10 year average valuation of 16.1 times, says a Nomura report dated August 30, 2021.
"While flows have played a part in fueling the current rally but no one would have imagined that in a year plagued by a black swan event like Covid, such a drastic deleveraging could have played out," says Kunal Bhakta, co-founder, First Water Capital Fund, a listed AIF, expressing surprise over Corporate India revival during the pandemic.
With the economy opening up, it is safe to assume that this deleveraging will be a lot more pronounced in H1 FY21 (April 2021- October 2021). Capex revival is the next big thing to watch. With a revival of the capex cycle and the spate of corporate announcements further buoyancy in the listed markets cannot be ruled out.
Market participants and brokerage houses believe that every quarter cumulative earnings of Nifty companies would be ₹1.5 lakh crore. The Nomura report states that the consensus estimate currently expects Nifty earning to record a CAGR of 26% over FY2-FY23 compared to a 6% CAGR over FY18-FY21.
On the street there is a unanimous view that with over ₹6 lakh crore of annual corporate profit, corporate India has never been stronger. So the current rally in India market may have some more headroom left.

Commentary: Obama's Second-Term Energy Policy Working
By Chris Riback
John Deutch, professor of chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a former director of energy research and undersecretary at the U.S. Department of Energy, writes in the Wall St. Journal that "President Obama has put energy and the environment at the top of his second-term agenda. The focus has been on climate change, and on exploiting the unexpected plenty of North American oil, gas and energy technology. The administration's progress has been notable—especially in comparison with health care, immigration and foreign affairs."
"The president's highest priority is to reduce the carbon-dioxide emissions of existing electricity generating power plants. In June the Environmental Protection Agency released an unexpectedly thoughtful and well-supported plan setting specific goals for reducing emissions chosen from a menu of measures…"
The piece continues: "The president's strategy to reduce CO2 emissions through regulation thus appears to be succeeding, though the EPA may suffer a backlash."
The piece concludes: "President Obama is having greater success in advancing his energy agenda in his second term than in his first. But it will take more than one successful term to secure the country's energy future. To coin a phrase for the next president: One good term deserves another."

With the sixth season finale of HBO's hit series fast approaching, naturally fans' thoughts are now turning to what will happen on Game of Thrones Season 7. After the epic Battle of the Bastards (which finally brought to a bloody end the atrocious Ramsay Bolton's reign of terror and awfulness) in the penultimate episode of the season – an episode that also featured Daenerys securing a key alliance – it seems clear that things in the Seven Kingdoms are finally shifting gears and moving us towards the series' inevitable conclusion.
As of now, according to an exclusive interview with Variety given earlier this year, the executive producers and HBO plan on finishing the series after Season 8, giving us two more seasons of everyone's favorite epic fantasy-drama. The tentative plan also includes shorter seasons, with seven episodes currently planned for the seventh and six for the eighth. That means there could be as few as 13 episodes of the series left after Sunday's finale, a traumatizing thought for all of us who have grown to love the award-winning show over the past six years.
As distressing as it is to imagine the beloved series coming to an end, there's no doubt that all of the pieces are now falling into place for a final battle for the throne of the Seven Kingdoms and a battle against the Night Walkers. Several key developments across the sixth season hint heavily at what we can expect from Season 7, which, as of now, will be the second to last season of the show.
Now that Jon and Sansa have reunited, joining forces to take down Ramsay and reclaim Winterfell for their family, other Stark kid homecomings seem imminent.
Arya will almost definitely reunite with her family in Season 7. She already stated her intention to return home, to Winterfell, after she finally defeated the Waif and was able to walk away from the Faceless Men once and for all. We last saw her in Braavos, so it's very unlikely that she'll make it from Braavos back to Westeros in time for the finale – meaning we'll have a super emotional reunion between Jon and Arya to look forward to next season. Remember how tear-jerking the reunion between Jon and Sansa was? Those two weren't even close before they each left Winterfell. Jon straight up adored his youngest sister Arya, so hold onto your hats for that reunion. I'm tearing up just thinking about it.
Will we see Bran reunite with his siblings in Season 7? That's less likely. Bran is still in the thick of the White Walker storyline, becoming the new Three-Eyed Raven after the death of his former teacher. While the question of who will take the throne has always been at the center of the series, it's become increasingly clear that the battle to defend the realm of men against the White Walkers will be the actual climax of the series.
Since Bran is firmly a part of that storyline (and not so much the throne storyline), he's more likely to encounter whatever remains of his family in the eighth season, when the big Humans vs. White Walkers battle royale happens after the latter group inevitably breaches the Wall.
If the Humans/White Walkers face-off is saved for the eighth season, it's possible that the titular game of thrones will actually be resolved in Season 7. Tyrion has spent the past season and a half as an advisor to Daenerys, a significant development in her quest for the Iron Throne that was arguably the biggest since she hatched her dragon babies.
Now, everyone's favorite Khaleesi has accomplished an even bigger goal in her quest by forming an alliance with Theon and Yara Greyjoy (but mostly Yara) in exchange for their fleet. Season 7 is going to be all about Daenerys *FINALLY* making her way to Westeros and fighting for the throne. There's no way they can put it off anymore. The people need Dany on that big ol' sword chair. Bonus points if Yara winds up at her side.
If Season 7 is all about Dany en route to Westeros and actively fighting for her throne, of course we'll see whoever is currently on the throne defending their place on it. Will Tommen still be on the throne by the time Daenerys arrives in King's Landing? Probably not. I'd be shocked if he was, actually.
The promo for the Season 6 finale was heavily King's Landing-focused, hinting that something big is going to go down there. We know that Cersei is planning a big move, now that her youngest son (and only living child) has turned on her under the influence of the High Sparrow, forcing her to go to trial for her crimes by eliminating Trial By Combat. Margaery is absolutely up to something sneaky, too, in encouraging Tommen to align with The Faith.
Could whatever goes down in King's Landing in the last episode of Season 6 result in Tommen's death (or even just his removal from the throne)? Possibly. I think we'll all be surprised (and extremely amused) if Season 7 rolls around and it's Dany and her dragons versus Tommen and Ser Pounce.
Whatever we can expect from Game of Thrones Season 7, one thing is for certain – the nearly year-long wait for more new episodes after Sunday's finale is going to be brutal, as usual.

There's no doubt that the meat hot dog has its place in many places or countries like Germany, but the demand in terms of vegan products is growing and businesses need to keep up with the demand.
As times change new audiences demand good quality vegan hot dogs and sausages. At The Sausage Man we truly believe our German vegan hot dogs and vegan bratwursts are the best there are. We have taken the time and consideration to choose two products that stand out from the rest. We import our vegan sausages all the way from Germany on a weekly basis.
Why not give our vegan bratwurst a try? We're sure that many of your own customers would like to try this delicious sausage - whether they follow a vegan diet or not. Many individuals who incorporate meat within their diet are also giving the non-meat options a chance every now and then in order to cut down on their meat intake.

Our wholesale vegan bockwurst comes in packs of two hot dogs. Please not that these sausages are not gluten free.
You can serve the vegan bockwurst the same way you serve your other hot dogs and sausages: top it with mustard, ketchup, crispy onions or any type of relish you may have. Raw onion would also be a great addition as a topping.
Try incorporating our vegan sausages to your menu and make sure you advertise the option clearly around your premises so when groups of people walk in or vegan individuals want to give your restaurant, gastro-pub, hot dog related business, etc a try they can see the vegan choice is there.

Florida State football: Three keys for FSU to beat North Carolina State
Wayne McGahee III
Can Florida State build off the momentum it got from beating Louisville last Saturday?
The Seminoles (2-2, 1-1 ACC) take on North Carolina State (3-1, 0-0 ACC) at Doak Campbell Stadium at 7:30 p.m. tonight.
FSU defeated the Cardinals 35-24 and responded with the final 14 points of the game after blowing a 21-0 lead.
The Seminoles are favored by 6.5 points against the Wolfpack.
Here's the three things FSU has to do if it wants to pull out a win against N.C. State.
1. Stop the run
N.C. State has been a fairly one-dimensional football team to start this season.
Quarterback Matt McKay has struggled the last two weeks against West Virginia and Ball State.
McKay completed 48% of his passes and averaged 4.3 yards per attempt against the Mountaineers in the Wolfpack's 44-27 loss in week three. He completed 57% of his passes and averaged 5.8 yards per attempt in the 34-23 win over Ball State.
The Seminoles need to make McKay beat them with his arm, which is similar to how the FSU defense approached Louisville and backup quarterback Malik Cunningham.
N.C. State is averaging 5.12 yards per carry this season. The Wolfpack's trio of running backs -- Ricky Person Jr., Zonovan Knight, and Jordan Houston -- are averaging 5.4 yards per carry.
FSU's defensive line of Marvin Wilson, Robert Cooper, and Cory Durden have dominated the line of scrimmage against Virginia and Louisville the last two games and have shut down the rushing attack of both teams.
They've done a great job getting after the quarterback as well and have wreaked havoc in the opponent backfield.
If FSU can continue to stop the run and force McKay to throw the ball, the Seminoles should feel pretty good about their chances.

2. Avoid the letdown
FSU has built up first-half leads of at least 18 points in all three home games this season.
The Seminoles have blown all of them. They blew an 18-point lead to Boise State in the season-opener and lost 36-31. They blew a 21-0 lead against Louisiana-Monroe and won 45-44 thanks to a missed extra point in overtime. They blew a 21-0 lead last week and needed another fourth quarter rally.
FSU has been outscored 86-38 in the second half of games this season. Last week against Louisville was the first time that FSU has outscored an opponent in the fourth quarter.
The Seminoles have got to find away to avoid letting off the gas in the second quarter.
FSU's offense has dominated the first quarter at home outscoring opponents 56-6. The Seminoles have been outscored 27-20 in the second quarter.
FSU's offense then completely falls apart in the third quarter with three total points in the quarter in four games. Opponents have put up 31 points against FSU in the third quarter.
The Seminoles have to find a way to play consistently through all four quarters and not let off the gas after the first quarter.
3. Let Akers do his thing
West Virginia ran for 6.2 yards per carry against N.C. State on 28 carries. It's the only Power Five game the Wolfpack has played and the defense didn't hold up well.
FSU running back Cam Akers has been the offensive MVP for the Seminoles so far this season. He's rushed for more than 100 yards in three of FSU's four games and is fourth in college football in rushing yards (499).
The Seminoles have run the ball much better this season, and Akers has been a big part of that. His progress from 2018 to now has been undeniable.
He's got the third most carries in college football this season and the seventh most touchdowns.
This match-up should be one where FSU can take a ride on the Akers express all the way to the end zone and a victory celebration.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama won the Grammy Award for spoken-word album at a pre-telecast ceremony in Los Angeles Sunday.
Obama's "The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream," beat out works by former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, as well as poet Maya Angelou and actor Alan Alda for the honor.
Hillary Clinton, Obama's rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, won a spoken-word Grammy in 1996 for "It Takes a Village," while former President Bill Clinton won spoken-word Grammy Awards in 2003 and 2004.

My acne has gone so much better!
I have been using this ampoule for the past few months and it helped me calm my acne. I started getting really bad acne 3 years ago. I tried every possible product and I landed on this one. I only use it at night time as it can be quite heavy on your skin if you have oily skin. I also use centella blemish cream along with the ampoule. If you are tired of trying different products for acne, I highly recommend this one!
I have been using this for a couple or weeks so far. I have acne prone skin, and I haven't noticed any major difference since using the ampoule. It isn't oily feeling which is nice and my skin soaks it up quickly, and my skin hasn't reacted badly to it. While nothing major has changed, I do notice that it hydrates my skin, and perhaps calms it a little.

Sport and business networking: a healthy combination
Global Employee Benefits Newsletter March 2014
We talked to Heine Z. Larsen, Senior Director, People & Development of DONG Energy, about his experience of an innovative combination of sports training and business networking. The result? Improved fitness, useful contacts, interesting information and great enjoyment – along with potentially lower health insurance premiums and greater business success.
Swiss Life: You experienced a new way of networking last year. Could you tell us about it?
DONG Energy:
I took part in a business network organised by our tax advisors, Deloitte. They wanted to try a different way of interacting with their clients, and created a network of people who trained together for the triathlon in Vienna. We were around 50 individuals who mostly didn't know each other beforehand. So we had an opportunity to make completely new business contacts. There were specialised trainers in each discipline who supported us throughout the preparation phase, which lasted from January to June.
Swiss Life: What triggered the idea to participate in such an adventure?
I was interested to try a different way of interacting with business partners. Health is a very important topic at DONG Energy, and we run several health initiatives, so it was natural that I wanted to be part of this.
Swiss Life: How was it for you and the team?
It was a very good experience. First, on a personal level, people did something they had never done before and we all had to step out of our comfort zone. Secondly, relationships have improved a lot. When you meet someone in sports clothes it's different from when you meet them wearing a suit. From the first moment you have common topics to talk about as you're sharing the same experience.
Swiss Life: What are the main advantages of such informal networking in comparison to conventional business networking? Do you see any challenges?
Conventional networking can be quite difficult: you don't know the people well, you don't see them very often, and it takes time to develop good business relationships and gain confidence and trust. You share information, but you normally don't share experiences. This is what made our networking unique: we shared experiences, and met outside business hours early in the morning or after work. It means you're not in competition with your business diary, but with your private agenda. You can feel that everyone wants to take part and they're prioritizing their time because they want to be part of the network, not because they have to be there.
My biggest challenge at first was to defend my participation to my own company. As this was a new concept, people doubted it was serious or could add value to the business. Another challenge was that some people just participated out of personal interest and not because they wanted to be part of the team, which didn't fit the philosophy of the network.
Swiss Life: How did the sport enable or improve the networking?
It was an ice breaker, and networking was much easier because we had something in common. At first sport was always the main discussion topic, but over time we started to share knowledge on business situations in smaller subgroups.
Swiss Life: Will you continue in this networking group?
Yes, we will continue this year with almost the same team and some new joiners. This time we will take part in the Mallorca triathlon.
Swiss Life: In light of what you have experienced, what would you suggest the Swiss Life Network do to remain a successful network in future?
It's difficult to transfer this experience to the Swiss Life Network as people are not physically close. However, I think it's important to try new ways of networking. Companies gain from getting people together in a non-traditional manner. For example, why not re-design the Network Conference and go for a long walk during the day, and have the business information and speeches in the evening?
Mr Heine Z. Larsen, Senior Director, DONG Energy.
Heine Z. Larsen joined DONG Energy in 2002 prior to the Danish 6-fold merger consolidating the
Danish Energy sector. Before Joining DONG Energy, Heine was a Management Consultant at Andersen
and Deloitte.

Q: Is there an easy way or a plugin to import test plans/test cases from QTest to Azure Devops? I just wanted to know if there's a plugin/tool in ADO that imports test cases/Test plans easily from QTest to ADO.
We are looking for different options to move away from QTest. One option we have is to explore ADO to see if that's a best tool for us. The first step is to determine whether we can migrate all of our test case/plan repository in QTest over to ADO. I looked through all the available documentation to import test cases using csv and excel. But they both require a lot of manual work and it seems a cumbersome task as we have more than 10000 test cases in QTest. See below for more explanation. Please suggest if there's a better tool that can map fields between QTest and ADO for a smoother import.

How can I batch convert txt to docx or doc files ?
I have about 400 .txt files and I need to convert all of them into doc or docx format.
The main problem is that when I open one of them in Word, it asks me to chose the right encoding to be correctly readable.
When I try to batch converting these files automatically, I got corrupted files, they are unreadable.
The only one way that gives me a correct output is to open the .txt file in Word, then save it as docx or doc file.
BUT I need to do that for 400 file, so how can I doing so automatically?
I have applied the macro, it results a new file for each .txt file in the folder. However, that new file has not any extension, and can't be opened.
I have no idea what the issues with 'Convert Doc 7.2' and 'All Office Converter platinum' might be, but the following should be sufficient to do the conversion. Simply point the macro's browser to the folder containing the files to be converted.
Can I also save the files in .docx format rather than just .doc ?
I have tried to replace the .doc in the code by .docx , but it caused a problem.
What process are you using for the batch conversion and, when prompted for the encoding method, which one do you use?
'Convert Doc 7.2' program, and the other is 'All Office Converter platinum' program.
Thanks again, But I did not work with macros before, so please help me how can I use this code and where?
Batch processing is a normal computer process. But Word has never been considered a batch environment. It is always a hands on environment first. Macros and any sort of 'batch' concept a distant third.
Word 2003 has a batch conversion wizard. Go to File/New.../On my Computer / Other Documents tab/batch conversion wizard & follow the prompts.
It is now works perfectly, thanks so much.
So how come you marked your questions as the answer, instead of my solution?
No, I just marked your code, and its addition. It is just a miss-marking, so sorry.
I now need to apply other formulation steps on the same set of documents.
3- Minimize the font of the whole document's text with two or three degrees.
How can I doing so the same way, using macros ?
As that's really a different topic, you should start a new thread.
When you do so, please specify the margin size for (2) and what you mean by (3).
I am now need the opposite case in which I have a set of .docx files and I need to save all of them into .txt format with the UTF8 encoding, how can I modify the previous code for doing so correctly.
As this is a different issue, please start a new thread.
Worked a treat, once I'd changed the method to wdDoc.SaveAs. The wdDoc.SaveAs2 method did not exist in Word 2007.
I am trying this, but after selecting the folder and clicking OK, nothing happens. I go to the folder and check and nothing new is there. The same .txt files remain there.
The macros in this thread are for Word - ThisWorkbook is for Excel, not Word.


I am in need of a C200 third member with 4.11 gears. Or a complete axle would be fine. If it's a different gear ratio I would need the front member too. I found a complete 4.38 4x4 rear axle with matching front member for a 100 bucks but the guy decided to keep it for a while.
C200 4.38 third member with matching front.
may consider other gear ratios but would like to stick to those if possible. I would take a whole rear axle vs just the third member for the right price. The growl is getting pretty bad in my third member. It needs replaced sooner than later.

A look behind Gliph's (temporary) removal from the App Store
"Apple rules its iOS kingdom with an iron fist. The company rejects apps from its App Store, often without explanation and occasionally seemingly in conflict with its own stated rules or prior behavior toward comparable apps. Surefire ways to draw Apple's ire are to feature adult content, take unauthorized control of a user's device, or otherwise break the law – be it the laws of a given country, or those which Apple has unilaterally created for its App Store."
"Btcoin is being evaluated and discussed at length by a number of leading world governments, but none to date have banned its use. The United States has required that exchanges operating within its borders register as Money Transmission Businesses – a designation which would not apply to Gliph since it does not handle any bitcoin or fiat currency. The closest thing to an outright ban came this past week, in China, where banking regulators announced that bitcoin and other virtual currencies are legal to use between citizens, but are not to be used by banks, payment companies, or merchants. Notably this occurred after Gliph's app was rejected by Apple."

Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to commend prayer at night during Ramadan, but did not command it as duty. He would say: If anyone prays during the night in Ramadan because of faith and seeking his reward from Allah, his previous sins will be forgiven for him. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) died, this was the practice, and it continued thus during Abu Bakr's caliphate and early part of 'Umar's.
Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by 'Uqail, Yunus, and Abu Uwais in like manner. The version of 'Uqail goes: He who fasts during Ramadan and prays during the night.


Christmas Day - Star in Glow-in-the-dark PLA from Prusa Research.
Thank you all for reading and being part of this advent series with me, see you all very soon.
Christmas Advent 2017 Download on Thingiverse here - designed by Tom Van den Bon @geekc0der With some help for each day by the South African Makers team.
The original advent calendar from 2012 is on Thingiverse - designed by Peter Leppik.
Day 23 gift is designed by Chris Venter - It's a Heart box printed in Ruby Red Taulman3D t-glase (Red Star).
Yes! I finally get to use t-glase, this model is perfect printed in t-glase Red Star.
Days 23 & 24 tree sections are printed in Polyalchemy Elixir.
Small rolls, but amazing filament.
t-glase from Taulman3D is one of my all time favourite materials to use. I always have some stock for projects like this. It shines and shimmers and can be used for LED light guides or just to look beautiful.
Taulman t-glase with a Red laser beam catching the front edge.
t-glase is a PETT based material. You are more often likely to find PETG (Glycol modified) versions of polyester (polyethylene) being sold by many manufacturers.
Both PETT and PETG can print very nicely in 3D printers, I tend to use PETT for high optical clarity, bigger layers and anything using light or for beautiful objects & gifts in general.
I will use PETG for large strong functional parts, you can get a semi-clear finish with PETG, some formulations can produce reasonable optical clarity with the right settings and nozzle size.
For this heart I'm keeping to a chunky layer height, and a specific infill type.
Left shows traditional rectilinear infill, and right shows a concentric infill.
It's worth thinking about the first bottom layer for objects like the heart box. The lid will be the bottom face when assembled, so you want that to look as nice as possible.
Likewise, the heart box bottom is also using a concentric infill. Look at those chunky 0.3mm layers, they look amazing on an object like this.
I also printed the final gift in the tree - Day 24 - The Grinch.
I have absolutely no idea how the yellow overhang worked. This had no support and should have failed at this point, but when I came back after switching materials, it was done and asking for the next colour! I can only think it must be some Christmas Magic?
Days 23 and 24 completed.
What settings did you use? - t-glase needs some odd slicing setting. I will talk about a few, but as they are an odd mix of tricks and balance, I'll also include the Slic3r settings I use to help you tune t-glase perfectly.
0.3mm layers (0.4mm nozzle) work really well with t-glase / 5 top and bottom solid layers.
Finally I'm using concentric for top and bottom layers, but that is because of the object here, you can use rectilinear if more appropriate.
Especially the first layer, you want that to be neat and tidy for this object.
Make the extrusion widths around the same size as the actual nozzle size. Normally you would go slightly bigger.
250 degrees C - it will print lower and hotter, but for the speed balance, this will give clear (not frosty) results during printing.
80 Degrees C heated bed.
This is a really important one, don;t use too much fan cooling for t-glase. Max 40% unless bridging.
Finally, this is the really odd one - For a 0.4mm nozzle you need to tell Slic3r it's 0.45mm in diameter - with all the other settings above, this produces great results.
Why use it? - It's just one of the most clear and optically interesting filaments you can get. It's also a very strong material, with great layer bonding, so making objects to use, enjoy and give as gifts is high on the list of ideal uses.
Is it strong? - Yes, it's very tough, impact resistant and just a tiny bit of flex.
Is it easy to use/print - Yes, as long as you spend time tuning the speed, temperature and odd nozzle settings I have shown above.
Do you have to dry it before/after use? - Not really, but I do dry it out before use if I want the very best clarity or optical performance. Keep it dry / sealed etc.
Do i need a 'special' nozzle? - No it's not abrasive at all. All nozzles seem to work well, Bigger nozzles are glorious with t-glase. Just try it with a 1.2mm nozzle and a 1.0mm layer height, it's astonishing.
Does it smell when printing? - No.
Does it come on a eco friendly spool? - No :( They are usual Taulman micro-spools, can be tricky to mount as they don't have a 'standard' 52mm mount hole.
Conclusion for Taulman t-glase - If you have not tried it out yet, you are missing out. From the very first sucesful print, you will be hooked. It also not comes in more colours, that I'm going to get hold of in the New Year. It's in my top 5 list of most useful and great looking materials.
I thought it would be good to check on the Ruby Nozzle at this point.
I just removed the nozzle (when it was at full 260 Degrees C temperature). It has not been cleaned in the image above. In the image below the same nozzle has been cleaned and refitted.
'Cleaned' and fitted back into the Hot-end for another print run - I'll check again in 1500 hours.
I installed this first Olsson Ruby nozzle in the summer of 2017. I reset the firmware timer at that point to keep track of the total print hours. This nozzle has now clocked up 16days 3hours 48mins.
That's around 387 hours of constant print time with almost every single type of material I have.
1.32km of filament length (1.75mm) is also around 4.2kg of filament so far.
To put this figure of 387 total hours of Ruby nozzle print time into context, this entire advent Christmas tree - printed on this Prusa i3, the Lulzbot TAZ6 (also fitted with a Ruby high-flow Nozzle) and one print made on the Sigma R17 was a total print time of - 139.5 Hours.
2/3 of all parts were done on the Prusa i3 MK2 with a V6 Olsson Ruby Nozzle fitted (0.4mm).
1 part was printed on the Sigma.
The Olsson Ruby (Volcano) nozzle in the TAZ6 has only had around 50 hours of use, so I'll check the status at around 300 Hours.
Remember this Advent tree is scaled at 150% of the original files posted. The tree sections are also scaled at 150% but only 120% in depth (to make the gifts appear to pop-out more).
Can you guess the total weight of the finished advent 2017 tree? (and also how much filament has been used)? And also how tall the finished tree is?
Send me a tweet over on Twitter @RichRap3D with your guess. I'll post the weight and filament used in tomorrows post.
Days 1 to 24 of the Advent Christmas Tree.
Today story is simply about making beautiful objects with 3D printing. What I have now is another wonderful, creative and exciting advent Christmas tree, full of stories and interesting materials. We still get out the original 2012 advent tree every year. Now we have this one too.
I want to thank all the South African makers and designers for this amazing Christmas gift. it was a real pleasure to print these parts. I also hope you also learned some neat things to try yourself.
Christmas Day tomorrow. Have fun.
Thanks for reading and Merry Christmas everyone.
My Youtube channel is here, all 3D Printing and Hi-Def video content.
Day 22 gift is designed by Shaun Nadan- It's a Christmas Scene.
Christmas scene is printed in Polyalchemy Elixir Natural (snow white).
This is a very small model, so the details really came out well.
My Laybrick filament is no longer usable (around 4 years old).
Laybrick is about the closest to 'snow' look, and even texture, you are likely to get in a filament. It has powdered chalk as the filler. Prints like sandstone, cold and oddly both smooth and rough at the same time to the touch. It's a little like using plaster or clay.
I will get another roll of Laybrick and show you what it can do at some point in 2018. Until then I have used the wonderful Polyalchemy Elixir, for a shining version of this Christmas snow scene.
I was going to tell you all about Laybrick, but I'll save that for a future post. Just one quick thing to note if you try any Laybrick materials. Do be careful what print surface you use. It can bond quite strongly to PEI, Tufnol and even coated glass. I have damaged a few heated bed / coatings using Laybrick, take care.
Days 1 to 22 of the Advent Christmas Tree.
Day #22 is completed. We are in to the final countdown very shortly.
The story, or maybe the moral of the story today is to use materials as soon as you can. Many filament's can become brittle or unusable over considerable time. My Laybrick was a casualty of not remembering, that I still had a roll at the very bottom of the filament storage box.
Join me next time for Day #23 - I'm also going to update you on the status of the Olsson Ruby nozzles. I plan to remove them, and inspect how they are holding up. Join me next time to find out.
Last time - For Day #20 (Scaled Benchy) I printed the Benchy boat in ColorFabb corkFill material.
Day 21 gift is designed by Mohammed Hassen - It's an abstract apple.
Abstract apple in Fillamentum Flexfill 98A luminous green material.
Day 21 tree section is printed in Polyalchemy Elixir.
Wikipedia has a great page all about the short durometer scale (testing the hardness of a material).
It's useful to know what level of 'soft/hard' material you are buying, before you choose for a particular project. Here I'm using Flexfill 98A (Shore hardness 98A or 60D).
Flexfill is also available in 92A. This is a little softer, but nothing like a soft stretchy rubber band.
Flexfill is ideal for projects like model car racing wheels, textured grips on products, handles etc. It's also great for robot parts that need some flex, but also keep their shape under loads.
Fillamentum Flexfill 98A has a firm, but flexible finish, bends well, but holds shape and form.
What settings did you use? - Flexfill 98A is very forgiving with settings, it's not as easy to use as PLA, but much easier (in a lot of extruder systems) than many softer rubber materials.
You don't always need a heated bed, but it works well with 50 Degrees C PEI surface, thinly covered in gluestick or Magigoo.
First layer speed set to 55% of normal print speed.
222 Degrees C first layer.
233 Degrees C all other layers.
Fans off for first few layers.
+35% extra Extruder retraction length (from normal PLA settings).
I never use a BRIM, because it's just to tricky to remove, and is not required.
Print speed of 10mm/sec to 60mm/sec depending on your extruder setup. On an i3 MK2 55mm/sec is fine.
Try not to use support, you will find it almost impossible to remove without a very sharp knife.
Why use it? - It's perfect for anything that needs a slightly firmer rubber application. I use it a lot for seals, gaskets and generally any sort of rubber washer or firm grip / texture on a product. Things like gasket seals work well because they are not floppy, but do compress and seal faces together.
Is it strong? - Yes, it's very tough, you will find it very hard to rip, and if you ever need to modify it, only a very sharp knife or heating / deform works. It's hard to snip, cut with scissors and you can;t file or sand it.
Is it easy to use/print - Yes, the biggest issue is going to be stringing, use extra extruder retraction and tune to the speed you indent to print.
Do you have to dry it before/after use? - No - it should be good from the sealed pack, but keep it dry.
Do i need a 'special' nozzle? - No it's not abrasive at all. All nozzles seem to work well, smaller ones may cause pressure problems with some extruder systems.
Does it come on a eco friendly spool? - No :( They are generic clear plastic spools, but they do have a recycle logo. I could not make out what material they are made of.
Conclusion for Fillamentum Flexfill 98A- I's a great material to have along side others. You can combine it well with PLA, ABS or PET. You are likely to be using it for some sort of flexing, or model making. It's obviously perfect for many model tyre projects. Check out the OpenRC project for more on that aspect.
On Day 16 I also used a different and much softer flexible material, do also check that out if you are interested in printing in flexible filaments.
Days 1 to 21 of the Advent Christmas Tree. I have no more room here, so it's going to be moved to somewhere in the house for the final few days of Advent.
Okay, maybe I just wanted the skateboard, but now I would totally 3D Print some awesome custom wheels for it.
Last time - For Day #19 (little jeep) was printed using Polymaker Polysupport and Faberdashery PLA. I also discussed various support material options for 3D Printing.
Scaled Benchy in Colorfabb corkFill filament.
The benchy is a boat, it wants to float, so why not 3D print it with cork?
I really like cork, not just this filament, but in general. It's a fantastic material.
Cork is a natural product. It's also sustainable and ecologically friendly, being harvested over-and-over from the bark, not from cutting down trees. The cork industry has suffered over the last 10+ years because most wine bottles now use screw tops or plastic stoppers. Cork was and still is a better product.
Luckily cork is still used in many products, now including 3D printing materials.
Colorfabb corkFill is a filled wood-like material. It has powdered calk in a PLA/PHA base material. corkFill is one of my top special materials (along with bambooFill) It's easy to use and gives a really nice finish, it's quite unlike almost all other wood filament materials.
Ironically corkFill actually has hard 'stiff' finish to the printed model. Most other wood or fiber filled materials tend to have a slightly soft 'wood' feel, CorkFill feels more like normal PLA.
Like other wood filaments, temperature does change the colour of the finish, slowing down during a print can make the finish uneven, so be aware of that or change to a more constant extrusion speed.
You get a nice sandy finish and it's less likely to string, blob or show defects than most other woodFill materials.
You can flame-finish it to remove any fine whiskers. it's also easy to sand, drill, paint etc.
Use it like normal PLA but with a slightly increased temperature of 215 to 220 Degrees C (hotter will give a darker finish), cork has some insulating properties and can handle a higher extrusion temperature than plain PLA.
You can add a little to the extruder retraction if you are seeing any stringing or angel-hair. And a slight over-extrusion rate of +10% helps get a really great finish.
Is it strong? - Yes, it feels and acts like normal PLA/PHA filament.
Is it easy to use/print - Really simple, just follow the advice above, and you should be good. It should be called 'easyWood'.
Do you have to dry it before/after use? - No, It's not bothered at all with moisture, but as usual keep it in a sealed bag, that'll keep the dust off while not in use.
Do i need a 'special' nozzle? - No it's not abrasive at all.
Does it smell when printing? - Yes, it lightly smells. But for once I like the smell when printing, it's wood, but quite a soft scent.
Does it come on a eco friendly spool? - No :( They are the ColorFabb Clear PC spools at the moment.
Conclusion for ColorFabb corkFill - It's a great wood like material. Strong, solid and not so much like spongy cork, but easy to use and enjoy. I like handing someone a corkFill object, but the don't often guess what it's made from.
Days 1 to 20 of the Advent Christmas Tree.
Today's story, when anyone asks about the little brown boat in Day 20, will be about developing, making and using sustainable materials in the 3D printing process.
As I type this, ColorFabb also has corkFill on Christmas offer, along with other materials, so you can snap up a roll for 24.75 euro's (ex tax). That's a good deal.
Last time - For Day #18 (Popsicle (Ice lolly / Ice-pop) was printed using Acrylic (PMMA) filament from E3D.
Day 19 gift is designed by Gerhardt Breedt - It's a totally awesome little Jeep, with a lot of detail.
Because this model is a little more complex to print, and requires the use of support structures, today I'm giving advice about the use of different support materials available and how well they tend to work.
First let's look at what a 3D print will look like if support material is enabled using a single extruder machine.
It printed just fine, but now you have to remove all that support material.
Have a guess how long the above support removal was, I'll tell you down below, after we look at the alternative method.
Another reason for doing this intensive advent calendar every day, was to test out the Olsson Ruby nozzles. They are doing really well, so today they get a short break.
I will be using the Faberdashery PLA and Polymaker Polysupport in the BCN3D SIGMA R17 3D Printer.
Here I am using the support material in a different way, it's an interface rather than full structure.
The above Gcode image shows the model car in blue (PLA on left extruder), with a blue support structure (also in left PLA).
The interface (Dense support material) between lower PLA support and the model is shown in green, and is using the right extruder fitted with Polymaker Polysupport.
The main PLA material is used for both the model and 98% of the support structure, just the interface is in Polymaker Polysupport.
Printed great, no problems at all - Polysupport prints a lot like PLA (just slightly higher temperature).
It comes off clean and easily. Just a quick brush and a poke here the there.
The alternative Green Jeep, using Dual extruder 'IDEX' SIGMA PLA and Polysupport was exactly 1 minute and 18 seconds. That was including brushing time, I also did not need to use a flame for cleanup.
With big and complex print projects, a break-away support material saves you many hours of cleanup. The material basically pays for itself in time saved. You also only use a small amount of it, when using it as an interface layer as I have above.
The only reason you may want to use it for full support, would be if you were using an expensive material like Bronzefill, you would not want to waste Bronze material as supports.
I think I'm going to do a few more blog posts on different support materials and the best settings to use (in New Year 2018), it was not long enough today to really go into full details about all aspects of support structures and other materials available.
With that in mind below are my top-tips, advice and general experience of support materials.
There are other options for a dedicated support material.
PVA is often talked about as a soluble support material, designed for use in dual or multi-extruder systems. But it's usually a massive pain to use.
General conclusion for PVA - I have wasted more time trying to print with 'PVA' than any other 3D printing material. It is possible, just not sensible or normally worth all the effort. It's only fun/exciting and interesting the first time you try to use it. (I basically HATE it now).
Water soluble, good but also leads to many, many of the problems below.
It's very soft; filament deforms easily in extruders and does not pop-back into shape – it just tends to get squashed / squeezed - and then stops feeding/extruding.
It will 'cook' in the hot-end – don't go over 190 Degrees C for any long period of time - (long, being more than ~15 minutes) – take it out of the hot-zone.
It'll often stop working (extruding) half way into a print job.
Few people make it, and many wished they didn't when customers complain.
It will take on moisture, and in some cases become destroyed / useless.
It does not stick well enough to many materials, so not great at building on top of a material like PLA/ABS.
You really need to use a lot of it – dense supports for it to usually be successful – cost / time / risk of print failure increased.
It can leave residue inside the hot-end, causing problems if not fully cleaned out.
Most 3D printers (extruders / hot-ends) are not setup / designed to use PVA.
General conclusion for E3D Scaffold - It's so much better than PVA, but still not great in every machine or extruder setup. I can get it to work really well in my SIGMA that's fitted with Bondtech extruders and E3D V6 Hot-ends. It's just about perfect (apart from the general moisture problem).
Unfortunately in the standard BCN3D SIGMA R17, It will not work well enough, or for long enough to be of any use.
I really want to see a water soluble support material in general use, but until a formulation actually delivers ease of use in more 3D Printers, I'm going to find it hard to struggle on with PVA based materials.
It is better and easier to use than a standard PVA.
Water soluble and also break-away easily.
Compatible with some materials PLA/PET, and tends to stick slightly better than most PVA only materials.
It's grey, which actually makes it easier to see if it's extruding well.
It's still quite soft. In some extruder systems this will still be a problem.
Moisture will still damage this filament, keep it dry and out of sunlight.
It's slightly less prone to 'cooking' but still use under 190 is possible and retract out of the hot-zone when not being extruded.
It's about the same price as PVA, that's good because it can actually work, unlike many PVA's.
It seems less prone to leaving immovable residue inside the hot-end, but it will still require regular cleaning.
Still causing problems if not fully cleaned out.
General conclusion for Polysupport- It's so far the only support material that delivers on ease of use. For me it's the only dedicated support material worth using at this point (for my needs) It is not ruined by moisture, and that's a big bonus. It also works in the SIGMA extruder system. every other PVA material does not work as expected in SIGMA.
It is a dedicated support material, and you can also print objects with it too.
It's like using a normal PLA material. Quite easy in most systems.
Compatible with common materials PLA/PET/ABS, the bond is just strong enough to hold, but straightforward to remove from most materials.
It does not have a moisture problem, but keep it sealed when not in use.
It does not 'cook' in the hot-end, does not leave permanent residue.
It's not water soluble, so you will still need to break-away, can't be used in the same way a water soluble material could.
It's quite expensive - but I also just demonstrated how it saves time and it ACTUALLY WORKS! - Bonus.
I'll go more into support materials, settings and techniques in a future blog post. But please ask questions and I'll make sure they are included next time.
Days 1 to 19 of the Advent Christmas Tree.
Today's story is all about reminding people that not everything can or should be 3D printed, and the things that use support material structures can be a right pain, if you don't choose the correct materials.

Grown biologically on our own Estate. 4 year old vines in their first year of production produced only around 120 cases.
Our sloping terrain allowed us to escape the spring frosts that weren't so kind to others in the valley. December 06 was however extremely cold, giving us a wonderful introduction to cool climate wine-growing. Interrupted flowering resulted in very small, open clusters with tiny berries which ripened well in the warm, dry and settled Autumn.
Hand harvesting began on 4 April 2007, and ended on 27 April. Ripeness was such that the harvest was 90% destemmed without crushing. Natural wild fermentation in a combination of small vats and barrels, was helped along only with gentle hand plunging. We basket pressed after about 16 days maceration on the skins. Maturation took place in a selection of quality tight grained French oak barriques (mainly Allier and Tronçaise and our ultra expensive Dom Laurent Magic Casks), about 60% new, for 11 months. Fined with organic egg whites. Bottled under screw-cap. Released late 2010.
A small but very good vintage. Hints of graphite, earth, incense, and spice over dark berry fruits (cherry and plum) mingle seamlessly with complex floral and savoury notes. Deep colour and good concentration. Continues to develop in the glass till the bottle is empty. Alcohol, acid and oak are in perfect balance making the wine very drinkable on release. Fine-grained, almost chalky, tannin structure, together with juicy fruit sweetness fills the mouth and the senses, and the moderately long finish ensures you enjoy every sip. It has the potential to age gracefully.
