I live in one of them. I like how it's mostly sunny ad windy whenever the morning sun rises.

Apparently, it's also the best place to catch sore throats, so I'm currently drinking one of these "coconuts". I'm not sure what it's called though, but they're refreshing to me.

Nope, but I really want to go to a bunch.

Hawaii and some Latin American countries and India... that'd be nice.

That coconut looks good. :)

I get diariah from drinking coconuts.
Also, my dad was in India last week, he didn't like it. Because of the people.

From what I've heard native Indians love white people unless you're from Britian.

Yea I've been to Florida actually but never really considered it tropical but it is now that I think about it.

If you consider Florida tropical, I've stayed there for 3 months two different times when I was younger. My uncle lives in Orlando. :thup:

As others have said, if Florida's tropical (and it has a tropical climate, so I guess it is) then I went there for 2 weeks over Christmas 2008.

I'd love to visit other tropical areas, such as the Caribbean and the islands of Fiji... but it's kinda out of the question right now :rolleyes:

'Love' would be the right word. If they could, I bet they'd make love to you on the streets.

It's not even ripe.
Anyways, I like cold places more. Actually I don't like tropical places, at all. Powder snow and mountains is the way to go :thup:

Then it would seem a lot of people all have some recreational vacations in the (not so) early years.

Glad I am in a community where they once been relaxing and sunbathing under the sun. :D

Hawaii, Jamaica and Canary Islands probably the most tropical I've been to. Quite nice for vacation but hell I couldn't live there :p

    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
