I'm surprised this hasn't been posted, granted it's "old." Here's a fan made trailer that gives the basic idea behind the show...


Run-down:
On a distant side of the galaxy man created the Cylons and the Cylons rebelled. After the First war the Cylons seemed to vanish, but they returned years later and destroyed the twelve colonies. Only 50,000 +/- survivors make up what's left of the race of man and they're looking for a planet called Earth.

I've only just finished Season 3 (of 4), and I must say this is one of the best SciFi shows to come about. You'll notice that the space fights are almost silent and there is no lasers or plasma, everything is ballistics.

The show is currently on Netflix Instant, if you plan on buying or renting from a local store there are two miniseries that came before the first episodes (first ep. titled 33).

They had a marathon of this on the BBC channels this weekend and I watched alot of it again. I saw alot of it when it first came out. I also had some DVDs of the series. Great Show! Much better than the original and at the time the original was the Stuff!

I think people from Babylon 5 were involved with show as well. I noticed alot of the same types of visuals.

lol, it's very addictive, I didn't care too much for the characters at first, but they really grew on you. Starbuck more or less just seemed like a bitch, I loved watching her get hit around though. I think the only characters I've liked through out the entire series would be Admiral Adama and Helo. I'm probably gonna start the 4th season tonight, the end of the 3rd was such a mind fuck, haha.

Just found out who the final Cylon is, WTF! Would never have guessed that at all. Sucks that I'm closing in on the end, but I'm excited to see how it ends.

Just finished this amazing series! I highly suggest watching it, the ending is rather sad considering how well they developed the characters. Very well written, I want more!!

I just have one question....

Kara Thrace... Everything about her after her resurrection is a mystery. She was said to lead her people to their doom. She was supposedly dead, with evidence supporting this strongly. What do you think happened? My own theory behind it was that she was an "Angel" of sorts, like Caprica six and Gaius. But the more I think about this the more confusion I run into, after all, everyone was able to see her. So that leaves another theory, perhaps she was a half-cylon, or an unknown sixth survivor. She never really knew her father all that well and it's a possibility, but a very far stretch. The only other conclusion I can come to is that she was brought back by "God" to fulfill her mission.

    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.

    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
