Another long term Jag fan here (which is why I knew of the Nuon - following Minter's blog back in the Project X / Mario Killer days :) ). I have almost all of the official releases and some rare ones like the 2 original release Air Cars, 2 Battlespheres, 1 BSG (all 3 bought at initial release, so sanely priced), Gorf CD, and a Skunk Board.

That Gorf CD is a freaking treat. I always wanted to play that version but never got the chance.

No. 25 of 50 Limited Edition of Gorf CD reporting for duty, Sir! :D

Not sure if its because i never played any Gorf ports before, but i think its the reason i royally suck at this game...

My rarest Jaguar piece would probably be the Telegames US, Atari Jaguar Flashcart with Towers II Beta on it (along with Telegames documentation on it).

Man, i spent a fortune on my Jaguar collection... :confused:

Awesome! :) I don't mind Aircars that much (had a sealed ICD version that i sole regrettably a few years ago) - got a '94 release for Gaz, and probably looking to get multiple KA version to LAN at future events. Just need more network adapters... (DAMN! Wish i didn't sell my spares!)

I gave my aircars 94 to Gaz to make his release ,if you look at your cartridge you can see my names over it (i'm Marco Pasquali). Peter of Telegame uk give it to me,i'm the owner of Brain Fusion shop in italy and i have bought many items from Telegames in the last 20 years so Peter give it to me this rare cartridge and i give it to the jaguar comunity to dump it for free so many peole can enjoy this rare version of a rare game!

Ah, YES! Now i remember! Well thank you for doing that! I always like to see and compare the differences between different releases. Unfortunately, in the time i have played both Towers II games, there is very little noticeable difference between the two versions. I had a special project in mind for this when i bought it but time and resources were not on my side. I have picked up the project as of the beginning of this year and hope to see it finished by the end of the year. ;)

My Nuon Collection
...
Done.

Nice collection of players mate! :) I see you have multiples of some - do you collect with anything specific in mind? Personally I have 2 versions (N-501 & SD-2300) and am looking to get one of each model to take around all the Aussie gaming events for show and play :)

My collection is just grab it when I see it for a good deal. Because I spend my year between opposite sides of the country I have duplicated for just about everything I have. Anything out side a duplicate is only because I picked up the extra's at a good price

Ah, yep, i know the feeling (from when i used to live between my place and my girlfriends: 1.5 hrs away). My first NUON cost me over $200 shipped (expensive for the time because it came bundled with TNT and all was CIB). I later picked up my 2nd NUON - N501 for only... $15 BIN on eBay! :D That was advertised as a DVD player only so i lucked out. But yes, you got to love a bargain!

Adolobe you have 4 boxed N501s? Wow.

Ever want to sell one of those let me know. I have a friend looking for a system and he doesn't want to pay ebay prices...

Hey, I'm from Mountain View, California. Former VM Labs engineer.

I used to have a bunch of relatively unique NUON stuff, but I sold most of it on eBay a while back. I still have a few items, including my old dev unit. I really should get rid of that since there is almost zero chance I'll get around to working on it again.

If you're considering getting rid of it (the dev unit), please PM me and we can discuss.

    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

    I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news. Do you guys see what I am saying, lets say you read all the articles on the front page and you get to the end and it just ends, no kind of link for MOAR!
