I suspect a 600w pure sine wave inverter will work good enough. I have full house solar, and when the printer run it doesn't look like it uses more than 200w in the heating stages, probably less. But, my printer's bed heats really slow up and the hotend is tiny so yeah not that much. Once it reaches temps, it uses much less. This is mostly printing pla. Probably will be different on ABS and even hotter filaments.

F1 teams set to challenge FIA’s porpoising intervention: https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/f1-teams-set-to-challenge-fias-porpoising-intervention/10333441/

"... A number of teams argue that there is no need for the governing body to step in on cars bouncing.

Furthermore, some squads are unhappy that there is scope for the FIA to influence how teams set up their cars when the sport has always been about maximum performance.

As one team boss said: “What will be next? A wet track metric that forces us to change from slicks to inters when a certain amount of rain has fallen?”

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner thinks it important that the whole situation regarding the FIA’s intervention is talked about in a transparent manner.

“I think the process is the thing to discuss,” he said. “TDs shouldn't be regulatory changes, there is a governance and a process for that. So I think we just need to talk through exactly why [they have been issued]. It didn't look like there was a lot of porpoising in this race [the British GP]. So teams are sorting it out. I don't feel it needs the intervention of a TD.”

Even the Mercedes team, which has suffered badly from porpoising and would have broken the oscillation metric if it had been in place at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, is not sure the FIA needs to be too involved. Asked about the metric plan, trackside engineering director Andrew Shovlin said: “It wouldn't be a very good metric if we weren't over it in Baku and I think we were probably the one case that they could use it to sort of calibrate. In Montreal, we were in a sensible place. But the point that we've made to the FIA, and we're very supportive of their efforts, is that we will fix these problems for our own performance. So, to be honest, the metric that the FIA is doing is not a particular distraction to us. We are sincerely hoping that whatever they come up with, we don't trigger it and we just run the car how we want to, because that's exactly what we're trying to do for lap time.”

One of the knock-on consequences of the FIA’s analysis on porpoising is a move to clamp down on tricks that some teams are believed to have done with flexible floors.

Amid suspicions that some cars feature more flexible floors and planks that allow them to be run closer to the ground for extra performance, the FIA plans to tighten up its policing of the matter from the French Grand Prix. ..."
 
It seems the wheels are starting to come off at Ferrari


Some Ferrari staff refused to attend Silverstone podium – report: https://www.planetf1.com/news/ferrari-staff-refused-to-attend-silverstone-podium-report/

"... Now a report has emerged that a section of the Ferrari garage initially refused to attend the podium ceremony and the following photo shoot.

According to former Ferrari press officer Alberto Antonini, a source told him that the staff initially did not want to celebrate the race win. “I have been told – and I trust the source – an ugly episode that occurred in the immediate aftermath of the Silverstone race,” Antonini wrote on formulapassion.it. Part of the Ferrari staff allegedly refused, at least initially, to attend the podium ceremony and photo op. If true, as I fear, this is not a good sign. A little healthy rivalry inside the garage is fine, it is fine for each mechanic and each technician to cheer for ‘his’ driver, but the common interest must be to aim to win.”

Leclerc may have told the media he was okay with the team’s decisions but the cameras caught him receiving a visual telling off from Mattia Binotto in which the Ferrari boss wagged his finger at his driver.

The Monégasque tried to play down the incident as Binotto just wanting to cheer him up but F1-driver-turned-pundit Jenson Button did not believe it. ..."

Clucky's biggest competitor this year isn't Max, it's Ferrari itself. He could've done a lot better this year had it not been for their incompetence.
 
What I find interesting across F1 social media is the scorn Ferrari are receiving for not enforcing team orders in favour of Charles.

If we took a short trip back in history, the Prancing Horse was crucified when its team orders were used to move Massa, Barrichello and Irvine out of the way of Alonso and Schumacher respectively. People to this day use team orders as an asterisk against Schumacher's achievements.

What happened?

Mercedes and Red Bull normalised it

I've been reading about this for a few days now, this is the first video I see explaining in this much detail. If I have this right the cars should be running much closer together from the french gp on.

Yeah, I think if this levels the playing field, we should see some very interesting races. This looks like it may actually level it, to the degree as promised prior to this season starting.

All in the wording. F1 teams, especially the big ones, throw a team of lawyers at the rulebook in order to find any loopholes or interpretations that the engineering team can then ''exploit''. If they are later found ''guilty'' of something, well, ''Sorry, the words were ambiguous/unclear. We'll fix it''.

I wouldn't be surprised if both Red Bull and Ferrari already have a fallback solution if they were indeed working in a grey area. They may not ne too badly affected by the new technical directive.

Not sure where FIA are going here. They want to intervene and stop porpoising for safety of the drivers, and then there is this apparent solution that does that but they would rather ban it than go "we'll allow this kind of thing, you all figure it out as it seems to help with the porpoising safety issues and give performance - we all win".

It wasnt a case of "not in favour of Charles", it was "in favour of Sainz"

F1 tyre strategy 101. When safety car is deployed, box for new tyres.

You'd think these guys know this by now.

If you watch above video, you will hear the BS reason Ferarri gave for not pitting Charlie, and then how the video creator explain how BS the reason is but perhaps it highlights just how bad Ferarri is under real pressure, when they need to make a split decision in the heat of the moment. This is where RBR really shine.
