This is a story about corn.

There's this maze, right? It's made from some kind of stone, like the stuff you would see a medieval castle made from. There's ivy and moss and shit growing on it, lichens too. There are tiles on the floor, but a lot are missing, there's patches of dirt and grass and more moss growing between them. Also it's foggy, like there's mist and dew everywhere, which would explain all the ivy and moss.

This thing, it's in the maze. It's big, really big, or colossal rather, you know how they teach you to use words other than big or some bullshit. Maybe it isn't big, maybe I just think it's big, maybe I'm small. I mean, who the hell am I, Einstein?

There was a point in my life where I would just run around making random connections with stuff. It's funny how I write point, when in truth it's a line. No, fuck that, no way, not ever. It's not a line, it's not even a plane, it's a god damn four dimensional hyperspace. This deal casts a three dimensional shadow, like you're sitting down with your family watching TV, minding your own business, and all of the sudden, this translucent blob of shadow appears in front of the tube. This is some linear algebraic stuff man, this is the stuff those scientists talk about.

Anyway, this point in my life was bullshit. There's a bull, you dig? And it's taking a dump, dropping a steamer right in the middle of the room. But no one notices it, I mean, everyone notices it, how could they not? Everyone just pretends not to notice it; as long as they don't see it, it isn't their problem, right? Right. Of course, everyone takes notice to not take notice of a 1700 pound bull, because let's face it, fecal matter is just gross.

I'm in the maze. Actually, we are all in the maze. You, me, and papa bear, the whole family, the gang's all here. Seven billion peas in a pod. You get the picture. I'm in this maze, and it's pissing me off. Like, what the fuck man? There's this thing I heard, I think it was in some standup or something. If you're lost in a forest, build a house. But shit, I don't have any wood. Just moss and crap.

This thing, it's like, shit I don't even know. It's a thing and it's here. It's a big deal, the real deal. The deal of a lifetime, act now and we'll throw in two for the price of shit because it's all made from corn anyway. That's how they make it all for the same price, 19.95, it's all made from corn. Your slapchops? Corn. Your snuggies? Corn. Your Oxyclean? It's all made from fucking corn. When I eat corn, I'm eating vacuum cleaners and space bags and retarded stupid ass 'I don't know how to use a fucking god damn spatula because I have down syndrome from being dropped on my head too many times by my crystal addicted mother' folding frying pan that makes flipping pancakes hassle free! And don't tell me that you can't get down syndrome from being dropped on your head, because I don't give a shit.

In the end, I don't really know what this thing is. It's a thing, it's here in this maze with all of us, it may or may not be big, and none of it matters because I'm typing on corn anyways.

This is the result of having no idea whatsoever what I was going to write about before I wrote it. I'm somewhat pleased.

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net

    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

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
