Did you leave it unlocked? Do you regularly leave it unlocked?

Maybe a friend/co-worker/someone who doesn't like you is just messin' with your head... Tryin' to confuse you while not doing something TOO horrible, as to avoid trouble for themselves.

Funny you say that. :p

A couple of kids that went to my school (one from class of 2003 and one from 2004) stole my teacher's keys, moved is car to the other end of the parking lot, and put the keys back. He's one of those people that has a set routine always, and therefore always parks in the same space, so he freaked out when it was missing. He got it back eventually, though. However, I never saw his reaction afterward...but I can't imagine he took it as a "harmless joke". :p

Anyway, TH, my deepest sympathies. :(

Hehe, so true Whitesock.

Well, thehelper is getting older and I'm just getting younger...
Still too young for a job, even though I want one, so I can go buy a Wii :D

I say we run a donation program to pay for an old folks home to put thehelper in!

I'll be off now before my head is.

I had a friend in high school....parked in the side lot one morning, forgot by the afternoon, came out to the main lot, threw this huge fit, called the cops and everything, like an hour later his friend walks by all the rigamarole that was going on and my friend stoped him and asked if he has seen his car, the friend said yeah, in the side lot where you left it this morning!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
sorry TH, but I must admit I did get a chuckle out of your story :D

Haha oh man that really does suck.

Not the fact that you thought you lost it, but that you found it a day later because you parked it in a different spot. xD

A few years ago my parents' house was broken into, but pretty much everything they have is either cheap or 100 lbs. All that was stolen was a $120 video camera and some turqoise jewelry. Problem is the jewelry had been with my mom since she was a teenager living halfway across the US, in New Mexico. :(

That sucks Duckie. It doesn't matter if nothing of value was stolen. Just that someone broke into something of yours. My friend used to live in Cleveland and as soon as I had a car I was always over at her house. I woke up one morning, and got ready for work, went down to my car (street parked of course...duh, cleveland!) and the door was kinda open. Look inside, the car has obviously been gone through, school papers all over the back seat, everything from the glove box out on the floor. Only thing missing was a soda I had bought the day before.

I was soooooo mad! I remember standing in the middle of the street yelling "WERE YOU THIRSTY??" over and over again till my friend came out of the house and dragged me inside. Ahhhh, good times LOL

I'm waiting for a "I just stole a car!" thread from Jindo. :rolleyes:

Aw, dammit. I checked GD, saw this thread with new posts and mentally envisioned a thread under it "D00D, I JUST STOL3D SOMEONE'S CAR!" ...

A sock beat me to the punch -.- Ah well. There will be other punches.

And even more punchees :)

That time I posted about my car getting stolen and then finding it like 4 spaces down because I parked in a different spot - then the forum started calling me old and trying to start donations for the old folks home....

    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

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
