I am hoping we can work out the encryption issue it appears that we have the tools to do it they just need an the proper environment to work.
from what i read stuff that works on the linux system referenced should also work on ubuntu, but i would have no idea how to set it up

Now that the order page is up we are going to send out the email to everyone that has ever posted in this forum about this. Hopefully this will be a spark. Thank you so much Carl for doing this man it was the right thing at the right time that is for sure!

Email sent to all users who ever posted in this forum.

You are getting this email because you have posted in the NUON Dome forum at some point in the past and since we were the official NUON forum for a time you are one of the few, the proud, the people that know about NUON. If you know about NUON, then you have to know about Iron Soldier 3 which is one of the best games for the NUON and it is finally getting an official release all these years later at the crazy price of 54.99 if you order before Jan 22, 2021 and 59.99 after that until March 2012.

This is going to be a very limited Re-release so if you want one you need to get your order in at the following link before March 2021. Like I said limited release. The fact that this title has ever been Re-released is a miracle.

The NUON platform is one of the most obscure retro games systems out there and Iron Soldier 3 is the most rare commercial game for it. Even if you do not ever want to play Iron Soldier 3 you should buy this game and put it next to the NUON you have in your closet so your kids can have this part of history :) Even if it is next to the Demo Only copy you got from the forum :) This is like when you could order Battlesphere for the Atari Jaguar at the Atari forum for a hundred bucks.

Thanks to Carl at Songbird Productions for making this possible.

If you are someone who has some history with the NUON, maybe an unreleased game or prototype, ex employee, know an ex employee, please consider checking in at the NUON Dome Forums and saying Hi and sharing your story! People are out there who really want to hear anything they can about the NUON and are trying to recover any of the lost history. It has been a long time and we would LOVE to see you again!

Apparently this email list is not that good as a good portion of the emails bounced back probably based on the age of the email addresses.

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