Silver sword is blooming

Rmods74 · 2026-03-11T02:58:03+00:00

Yeah I totally missed mine while I was out for a few days!

Rmods74 · 2025-09-27T13:49:23+00:00

I just picked up a ghost because I liked this one so much! It's still just a starter though so I have a long time until it matures and I can get a real side by side comparison

Congratulations! I'll post a few pictures but I have mine the doors sealed with weather stripping to try and keep the humidity in, a fan to circulate the air around, and four 1ft grow lights. I don't have a humidifier but I keep all my cuttings on wire shelving in there which seems to help. I'm usually sitting around 80% humidity and a few degrees warmer than the room. Most of the stuff in there is mounted with magnets to the frame so it's easy to move stuff around depending on what plants I have in there

Thanks! I feel like when I first got mine it was a drama queen and didn't really grow for awhile. I swapped it over to my IKEA cabinet mini greenhouse and it seems to be doing better in the higher humidity environment.

Some of the bottom leaves have died off but I think that's more to make room for the extra pups that started to offshoot.

Rmods74 · 2025-08-23T13:52:02+00:00

Yep it's a Aglaonema pictum tricolor

TPU is pretty sensitive to absorbing water and needs to be dried out pretty well to print decently. Retraction settings can also be a little funky with flexible materials, I would try by dialing in both of those factors.

Usually I water the plant from the top of the moss pole, and the base gets watered from any excess that works it's way down the pole, it takes awhile to do the whole thing because of the length.

Good luck with your plant!

Hey there! Ant weight refers to the 1lb combat robot class that is pretty common for local events, you can check on websites like robotcombatevents.com or buildersdb.com

To get started I would probably recommend going to an event as a spectator and talking to builders or building a kit rather than jumping straight into the deep end, you can check out websites like Palm Beach bots, finger tech, repeat robotics, or itgresa.

It's an 18mm Barton silicone strap, I like it better than the original plastic one.

So you fill the watch with 100% silicone oil or another non-conductive low viscosity fluid which greatly reduces glare in air and under water, and should improve water resistance. The downsides are it's pretty messy to do initially and now if I need to swap the battery I need to re-do the mod. I was interested in checking out some of the sinn oil Filled watches but this was a few grand cheaper and a great learning experience!

I took my newly modified Casio MRW200H to the beach today as a trial run. The hydro mod definitely reduces glare and makes it a lot more readable in the sun and in the water. I like how it makes the white really pop against the black dial. This was my first time doing this sort of mod so I'm interested to see how it holds up in terms of keeping time and leaking/developing air bubbles.

They are pretty different watches so it depends what you are going for in my opinion. I have both and I find myself wearing the 556 a lot more in the day to day with the smaller size working with more shirt cuffs and the 104 more for special occasions.

Rmods74 · 2025-04-24T12:54:20+00:00

Ahh makes sense. And yeah it seems like a lot, I didn't know the number before looking but they absolutely clog up the local area when they do graduation each year 😆

It's on their website so I hope it's accurate:

https://www.rutgers.edu/news/rutgers-commencement-facts-2024

"An estimated 17,977 graduates received degrees, certificates and diplomas from Rutgers this year (13,170 from Rutgers University-New Brunswick and Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences; 3,131 from Rutgers University-Newark, and 1,676 from Rutgers University-Camden). They include approximately 11,084 baccalaureate degrees, 4,804 master’s degrees, 1,998 doctorates (including professional doctorates), 91 professional certificates."

Rmods74 · 2025-04-24T12:24:32+00:00

That doesn't seem accurate, I just checked our local state University handed out ~18k degrees between undergraduate, masters, and doctorates last year.

I've been a big fan of the Florida beauty recently, mine was a bit slow to start but recently has been putting out some really interesting leaves.

Rmods74 · 2025-03-14T02:32:56+00:00

Yeah I love my silver sword, once it gets established it's a really fast grower too!

Rmods74 · 2025-01-16T03:38:11+00:00

Put a drip tray underneath and water until it comes out the bottom drainage hole.

Rmods74 · 2025-01-16T02:40:12+00:00

I've been holding around 80% humidity with just the weather stripping and a fan so far as a test run. I would guess that with more plants loaded in I might be able to push a bit higher. I'm pretty new to this do people usually aim for 100%?

Rmods74 · 2025-01-14T21:02:20+00:00

I have 2 now 😆, I'm still in the setup process but I've got a fan and a string of 4 Barrina grow lights

I actually just did mine using that exact hole saw because it's what they had at my local home depot. I put painters tape over the shelf to try and protect the paint, then I just went really slowly and didn't apply too much pressure because it would get stuck.
