This crafting run is perfect example how globals can change your returns drastically. My input cost was 21.83 and the output was 20.82 making my return little below 100%, but with the global 56 PED my return skyrocketed to 351.95%

The summer is over and it is time to get back on the horse. I was spending the time skilling and now I can use on max Isis LR53 (L). I also skilled a lot in mining and what is important for crafting my Mechanical Engineer level got from 0 to 2.83. Not a pro level, but enough to give me 90% success rate when manufacturing Basic Filters. If you missed what is improved in the crafting system here it is:
Crafting System Improvements:
A completely new and improved user interface for crafting has been implemented, which dramatically streamlines the process of constructing items.
The new interface automatically scans the avatar inventory and storage for blueprints, resources and materials, allowing items to be constructed without the need for dragging input materials into the crafting machine. Other exciting features of this new interface include-
A single comprehensive overview of all blueprints carried in inventory and storage, with the number of attempts possible displayed based on currently owned resources and materials.
Ability to customize the exact number of attempts to be made on the currently selected blueprint.
Ability to sell crafted items directly to the Trade Terminal, with optional thresholds for minimum/maximum condition.
Ability to set custom thresholds for the use of residue to improve the final condition of crafted items.
Integrated access to auction buy and sell orders to assist in quickly acquiring necessary input materials from the market.
Detailed log of each crafting session.

Comparing this crafting run with my last crafting run with Basic Filters, I have a lot more crafting skills now, but my TT return is less (76.15% now and 85.89% previous crafting log). Last time I looted 7 BluePrints, now 10 and all are different than the last time, but still nothing new or rare.
With all the Lysterium Stone and Crude Oil I drilled on Planet Arkadia there was only one thing I can do now. Craft some basic filters. Perfect for gaining crafting skills. And I have almost 20 000 from each resource. I started with 10 000 clicks, but soon I realized that this will take long time to craft so I lowered the clicks to only 2 000. I looted 7 blueprints, 5 of them Arkadian blueprints and with the MU they have I am braking even with this crafting run.
