I want to send my halfway broken NUON to a YouTuber. Who should I send it to? I think I should send it to John Hancock. I got a NUON N501 with a DVD drive problem. My wish is I can donate it to a YouTuber and they document the fix! I am trying to get YouTube videos done on the NUON which YouTuber do you think would be best to hype the NUON?

Hmm. Are you looking to send it to a YouTuber that can fix it/get it fixed or promote the platform? Or both? If you were to send it to a video game repair channel, then I'd consider sending it to TronicsFix. His channel has 1.09 million subscribers and he does a lot of repair videos for Nintendo switches, PS5, etc., a handful of which are consoles that people sent to him to fix for the video. He would definitely have the skills to fix it. If I had to choose a YouTuber to do a review of it and promote the platform, I would choose MetalJesusRocks. He's definitely one of the most recognized retro gaming YouTubers out there and has not done a video on the Nuon.

John Hancock is a con artist (with his "museum" scam)... most retro gamers youtubers are hoarders and grifters IMO.
Send it to a youtuber that does electronic engineering, maybe pay them and get it sent back... or just skip the youtuber bit.

If you want to see more Nuon content on youtube, start a channel ;)

i have a video where i replaced the drive in my samsung player, works great since then. I found a donor dvd player on ebay and did it. I since found one at a pawn shop that is sitting in my closet in case I need it later. It was not a real hard ordeal, I am sure you could fix it

    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.

    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
