I guess I can let everyone know that I got a special gift-- I'm now an "MVP"

But not from Blizzard. From Microsoft!

Apparently they noticed me here and on other forums and they have sent me a LOT of goodies. Such as a big gift certificate to their online store where things are sold super cheap (MS products as well as corporate stuff like mugs with Microsoft logos... ha), and a full MSDN Universal subscription (full versions of all operating systems, Office software and Enterprise Dev tools.) And a nice bag and framed certificate plus access to some private newsgroups and betas.

I'm not sure who nominated me (if anyone... apparently nomination is a big thing), but thanks if its someone from here.

Congratu - Fucking - Lations Rapmaster. THAT IS AWESOME! I am so glad to see you getting some recognition for all the work you have done supporting people over all these years. That MSDN universal subscription is SWEET! I hope that we do not lose you to the Microsoft forums because of this but I would not blame you for a second.

haha thanks

These days I have a lot less time to post on ANY forum, with work and everything, but I'm not going anywhere!


I also had the choice of a Technet Plus subscription, but I get that through work (I think) and its kind of boring ;) Plenty of other goodies: I'm really amazed how they treat their online community. I'm unfortunately under a fairly strict NDA though so I can't say much more.

The casual friendly relationship between their support staff and the community reminds of Blizzard in the old days :/ Yes folks I am talking about Microsoft.

Congrats Rapmaster. :)

I have no idea why Blizzard didn't make you an MVP, but a Microsoft MVP designantion seems even better, heh.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
