Okay, looks like it's not as bad as feared. I don't know if it's a problem with the controller dump application or maybe bad connectors on the N501. I tried them on my N504 and only four (out of fourteen) are showing problems. It's still a higher percentage than I'd expect - especially since they all have the "QC Passed" sticker on the bottom. It's quite possible that the four controllers are okay - you know how picky the NUON can be about unplugging/replugging controllers while it's on. I'll try them again on the dev system just to be sure.

Bottom line, it may take longer to fulfill everyone's requests.

Also, T2KFreeker and viMaster, I need your names/addresses to ship your controllers. Check your PMs.

Just a quick post to confirm that the controller I received works fine on my Samsung N504 :)

Now, who wants to buy a Nuon machine with TWO controllers? ;)

Okay I have you down.

I just received the next box of controllers. I'll go through them this weekend and contact the next people on my list to get shipping addresses. If you don't hear from me don't worry. I'll get at least one more box.

I'm beginning to think that the lot that Riff won was for a bunch of controllers that failed quality control.

Of the 30-ish that I just received, only seven work. Some others work occasionally, but not consistently. I'm nervous about even sending out the seven since I don't know how reliable they will be. One controller works except that the analog stick has left and right reversed!

Given that the yield is so poor I am going to limit everyone to two controllers at first. At the very end, if I get through the whole list and have more left I will distribute them to those that wanted more than two.

Anyway, I have enough controllers to satisfy T2KFreeker, viMaster (if he gets me his address), The Helper, and bones. If I don't hear from viMaster in a week or so I'll continue down the list.

Just got word that the controllers have arrived at the parents house. I am sure I will be over there in the next week and I will post back when I finally get them in my hands. Thanks again Skah T!

Okay, so I have a box full of controllers that at one point or another failed my rigorous QA testing procedure. Before I toss them I want to offer them to anyone that is interested.

I dunno. Maybe take them apart and use them for modding or spare parts or something. Heck, if you're really adventurous maybe you can fix some.

I have 20-something of them. I'm not putting any restriction on how you can get. You just have to pay shipping. PM or reply and they're yours.

    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
