Containment Random Thoughts & Questions

I think this is the model used to print the Sonichu amiibos. Chris must just order them online and glue them to their base and then badly paint them with gloppy paint. I thought I recognized it from Chris Chan's Ultimatum.

I wonder how much 3D printed figures of Sonichu cost to get to Chris? They seem too expensive for Chris to buy if he is selling them for only $40, and Chris is too lazy to learn to operate a 3D printer. Is Praetor running their own 3D printer?

Also while I was looking around I found Rocknic for sale for only $20.04 so I think Sonichu might cost a little more.

Do you think Chris and Barb were ever really too poor to afford soup or was that just something he said to try and get money from Cole?
Because you can get a can of store brand soup for around seventy-five cents so of all the claims Chris has made over the years this is one of the ones I find hardest to believe. Also, why didn't he cancel his internet and cellphones during period, that is like 300 cans of soup a month right there.

OK for it's size as is 154.3X150.4x205.7mm, Using 20% infill (the void inside the plastic, Using a minimal raft (it's all in my personal experience taller prints need a raft for build plate adhesion) WITH using supports, and a cheap but reliable PLA (eSun Blue-PLA) costing £17.99 a KG on amazon at the moment using basic maths for the cost of material 1000g / 17.99 = 0.02p per gram (with a minor rounding) and the model an supports coming in at 308g so 308*0.02 it makes it WITH a raft and support cost £6.19 or $7.78 usd.
BUT that's with using Utillimaker Cura to slice and assuming a Creality CR-10s (or any bed slinger they are all roughly the same for this sort of costing) a whopping 1 Day 22 Hours and 26 Minutes to print.

BUT Without Supports - it only uses 204g of PLA so 55.5g*0.02p= £4.08 or $5.15 and it will only take 1Day 0 Hours an 4 Minutes to print (assuming a 0.02mm nozel @ 215c temp an a 65c bed heat), but I would not print this without supports, it has a really spaced out an tall geometry so it would either work loose or the print would sag a lot without the support or even be impossible to print without supports.

Costs of running the printer would be a few pennies so I am not including it and it's also impossible to know what he's paying without him telling us so the answer is -

$7.78 USD to print the model.
​
Other printers an cheaper filliment / bought on sale an using a larger nozel could print the print cost an time down a fair bit but that's a reasonably good estimation given the few known facts, and that is with the model as is, it could be scaled down as well.

If you scale it down in X,Y&Z by 50% it will go down using the same settings as before to 37g so 37*0.02p= 74p or $0.91 without support, and a print time of 5 Hours 7 Minutes.

With Support it take's it to 75g so 0.002*54g= £1.50 or $1.90 and a print time of 9Hours 59 Minutes.

It's definitely bullshit. Barb gets social security and I believe a pension, too. Chris gets SSDI every month.

Barb is a grifter with no shame. That's why a lot of folks (myself included) think she was playing up the poor old lady angle when begging for money.

I think Chris's amiibos correlate to about the same size as normal amiibos, and various people have broken out their rulers and measured their collection. Sonic's amiibo is 3 inches (76 mm) tall, according to a redditor. So your estimates of a dollar or two are likely correct.

For sure, she was. Rember the first finnanchu when they begged and then bought a $300 necklace? They were driving a Cadillac Deville Northstar and a BMW z3. And of course they ruined their cars.

But also they don't eat at home, the kitchen was so cluttered, the only thing they had access to was the microwave and fridge so they were eating a lot take out and fast food that adds up quick.

They both beg for money and wanted the finer things in life. Doesn't work that way when you don't provide any value to society. And of course when the incest call was leaked chris stole money to buy legos.

Being bad with money, not being self sufficient, and compound it with living outside beyond their means really guarantees their financial failure every time.

Sure, but there's one thing to bear in mind about both of those vehicles: the Cadillac was a '92 - '97 model, and Chris owned it in 2012; the BMW was a '99, and Barb was trying to sell it in 2014 after having driven it for 5 years. This means that both vehicles were at least 15 years old by the time their stint with the Chandlers was over.

Neither one would have had any significant value at that point even if Chris & Barb hadn't beat the shit out of them. Hell, neither one would have had significant value when they bought them, since cars from luxury manufacturers typically have some pretty staggering depreciation by the time they're 5 years old, never mind 10 and up.

These were cars with problems that a) the previous owners were getting rid of because they couldn't afford the cost of repairs and/or maintenance, b) the Chandlers couldn't afford to fix or maintain, so they c) drove them into the ground and bought equally-shit replacements. Lather, rinse, enjoy the fruits of shit economic decisions, repeat.

True, but aren't BMWs the worst kind of car to work on?

Not surprised. And of course cruella deville drives a car called deville. You can't make this shit up.

Chris and Barb would do whatever they could to squeeze money out of a rock, even if they have all the blood diamonds in the world.

Exactly. Instead of getting a beater corolla or civic or focus , that would last longer, they got expensive to maintain shit boxes. They're egos and narcissism fucked them but i think chris "learned" from that lesson.
