Depends on how well known someone has to be to be considered a celebrity.

I grew up with a girl that now does cosplay/modeling.
Two of my uncles manage bands (I got to meet some of the members of Matisyahu and watch a concert from the side of the stage, one of them was tour manager (?) for U2 at one point in time).
I've met the members of House of Heroes at a concert.

My uncle is a rich millionaire in canada, lol. But i wouldnt count him to be a celebrity, and i actually never met him in person. But my parents are talking with him from time to time.

I backed into Viggo Mortensen's truck in town once. I've met him on a few occasions as well, but those were far less interesting. I've also met many elected officials on federal and local levels around the northwest. Ben Stein's around here somewhere too, but that guy's a douchebag.

How was Viggo? From what I've heard, he seems nice? Like he stays away from the "celebrity" life and all that.

Haven't really met any celebrities though hopefully I will be able to on at least one of the film sets I go to, lol.

Saw Tina Fey at NBC in NY.

He's nice, I guess. I've never had any extended interaction with him, as I didn't sit around and tell him I ran into his truck. I know he's really aggressive about trespassing, which is sometimes annoying because he owns a lot of land that used to be federal or state, and has a lot of easement roads on them that he apparently shut down.

my mom went to high school with Pat Monahan, and I had the lead singer of War of Age's mom as a physical therapist, but that's as close as it gets

    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
