1 litre of petrol costs soon over 2.00€ in Finland.

So no crying in the US.

We call it gas over here in the states, but its still to much.

Now I don't know any translations between Euros and Dollars, but here is our price. (estimate)

Last I checked, it was 3.82 a gallon here in Wisconsin, and I last checked on Friday, so that is definately changed by now.

In Los Angeles, you can still find gas stations with $3.9# a gallon, but usually it's around $4.1#.

Does anyone know the reason (Please don't say Iraq War without some actually reasonable facts) for the prices to start going up?

Nvm I did my calculations wrong.

But anyways.. My family gladly would pay the extra money 'cause there's less people on the road. Even though that money is coming out of my college funds xD.
 

Seb!

1) A higher demand for oil caused by a huge boom in automobiles.

2) A shortage of oil, caused by instability in the Middle East.

3) The price of crude rose dramatically, and instead of cutting the ridiculous profits, oil companies and their CEO's simply raised the prices. This is possible because gasoline is a necessity.

4) The occupation of Iraq ended the oil instability and shortage for a very short period, causing the supply to meet the huge demand.

5) The administration reduced regulation on the market in terms of price gauging and monopolies.

6) Oil company profits and CEO wages skyrocketed.

The fact that Bush's campaign donations were largely from oil companies, and the fact that Bush himself used to own oil companies may or may not be involved..

this have effect on other things too

faroe island fishing trawlers are set on standby because of the prices it's just not worth it, and they won't go fishing before the fish prices raise or the gas prices degrease.

that will effect in a big loss of fish in scandinavia! :eek:

    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
