Mathew Whelan has some 90% of his body covered in tattoos, including an eyeball, but that's not why he is being denied a passport from his homeland. It's because of his new legal name, which is 'King of Ink Land King Body Art the Extreme Ink-Ite,' and which officials don't think is legit, despite appearing on his driver's license.

If he is stupid enough to get such a name he should expect nothing less from the officials. I dont pity the fools who run into their own demise.

I disagree with you acc.
Everything he has done is legal, there is no legal reason why they denied him.
Yes his name is a bit silly but it is legal (and more importantly it does not offend any religion).
They checked his driving licence and it is the same, if they were really professionals they would know they can verify his name.
Does it matter what we change our names to?

I never said what he did was illegal.
I said what he did is dumb. There is a big difference, and you have to learn that too.

Why should he expect to be denied a passport because he changed his name to an absurd one?

If you act stupid around people you can expect people to act stupid around you.
Officials are stuck up people with bad humor. How exactly do you expect them to act in fron of somebody who makes a clown of himself?
If I was to change my name to something silly I would not be surprised to see other people make fun of me.

It's not fair certainly (if he can provide verification its his true name) but it's really stupid if he assumed there would be no issues with him changing his name to that.

As stupid as the idea of needing to have a passport to travel outside of your intrinsic and artificial concept of borders?

Who cares about fair? Life aint fair. And its not as if government officials care about being fair to anybody.

I think this entire thing is stupid. The officials for refusing to follow a set of rules their own kind created and he is stupid for doing this "attention whore" thing (it's obviously that) and now acting all butthurt because of it.

This kind of stuff only deserves ridicule.

    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
