Hey, i had a problem on wow and the support gave me some instructions to fix it. I got up to needing to delete something from the virtualstore, but it's not there.

Please re-read your post. It does not make sense. Also, can you post some details as to what your 'problem' pertains to, and what instructions you were given?

Ok, I re-read it, it makes sense to me. I had a problem on WoW, and asked Blizz for some help (GM's in game) they emailed me some instructions as to what to do. I followed them and got to a step involviing deleteing some files from the 'virtualstore' folder. The files which I was meant to delete weren't there.
The problem somehow solved now but I still want to kow for future reference and for others.
The problem was that when I logged into one certain character on wow wow froze and became non-responsive. the instructions were to remove the 'Cache', 'WTF' and 'Interface' folders. Once I delete them from the WoW main folder, I was told to go to the virtualstore and delete them there too. This is where I found my problem.

Kyux is referring to the file virtualization that Vista/Win7 have.
Essentially, if you try to write to a read-only directly (like Program Files), windows instead writes your changes to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\ and pretends that you've actually made the changes in Program Files.
It's there for compatibility with older programs (Warcraft 3 included), but it's a dreadfully confusing "feature" of Windows...

Yeah, so where do I find it if it's not there but meant to be?
- No one is chatting at the moment.

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

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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
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
