Democrat presidential candidate Barack Obama's quest for the highest office on land suffered a body blow on Tuesday morning after his 86 year old grand mother, Madely Dunham, lost her battle to cancer.

Senator Obama and his wife Michelle released a press statement at 12. 45 am Kenyan time announcing the demise of his grandmother. Obama has in the past variously embelished his grandmother as the pillar of strength in his life.

Funny how all these family issues are coming out about Obama. First he found his so-called 'lost' brother in Kenya, then his Aunt was supposedly living in the USA illegally, and now his grandmother dies.

Too bad McCain doesn't have any relatives he could exploit.

This must be devastating to Obama, hours before the biggest day of his life, and the pillar of his childhood dies. Poor guy.
With that said, at least she died knowing Obama had gotten this far, and likely is going to win.

Yes, you showed Obama! His grandmother dying was obviously part of a last-minute stunt to get more votes, and he doesn't care about her at all despite writing good things about her. Clearly he only cares about winning votes and wanted her to die. Sorry that was a bit mean, but seriously, the man lost someone he cared about, do you think he wanted that?

Of course he did not want that. :thdown: He would want her to live, at least until election day perhaps.

Bull crap, you have nothing to back that up with, why would he even do that? he has the election in the bag, even without the death his his granny

However, for all we know, he never even had a grandmother in the first place?!? =P

    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
