No it's not. We're all arguing about whether there is mass or weight in space.

errr how does that make any difference?

So, we're using heat from super-heated material that is so hot that it cannot be contained in anything other than a simple electro-magnetic field, letting the super-heated gas fly out a pin-sized hole in that said electro-magnetic field.
If even a small rock punctured the electro-magnetic field... the heat would rush out of the hole that was opened for even just a fraction of a millisecond and...
Anyone else seeing a potential fail here?

No because there's going to be a force field genius.

um, a force field made out of what?

I believe that there is life of some sort out there, but sentient life, not so likely. Developing sentience needs luck since a bigger brain takes more energy and will only start paying off like 50 generations later when the brain gets big enough to start thinking about using tools.

If there is life out there I think it's more likely that we will discover it instead of it discovering us.

In the infinite span of the universe the chance of us being the only sentient beings is so small it's almost impossible.

Yes. Although the aliens visiting earth, i doubt that. People are paranoid, not to mention gullible x)

Don't forget that those planets that formed early in the universe's existence and were lucky enough to be able to harbor life would have an amazing head-start contrary to our civilization.

Or it might be vice-versa, that we are the ones that started early.

Time will probably tell.

    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
