That's some of the stuff that made me realise the extremity of the church. VHEMT is the much better way to go, and their About page makes so much more sense. To me, at least.

In the end, everyone has their own opinions. There's no simple black and white to the situations we face today. Like the debate we had on religion, we can't say who's right or wrong, just who we disagree with and who we don't feel are the "good" guys.

@Accname: One FireCat is enough.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – During the inspection the Russian Ministry of Justice found out that the word 'scientology' had been registered as a trade mark owned by the US Religious Technology Center.


The court backed the Russian Justice Ministry's claim that the organization's activity did not comply with the federal law on freedom of religion.

"The representatives of the Church of Scientology have created many legal conflicts by themselves by restricting the religious freedom through the use of trade marks," the Ministry of Justice said.

The Church was founded by American science fiction author L. Ron Hubbard in the 1950s, and has been the subject of controversy around the world.

Church of Scientology is not an official religion? Other than that, I would agree it doesn't make sense.

How does this combination make any sense:

What is being banned is not being a scientologist, just the company that tried to trademark "scientology", which would in turn prevent people from proclaiming themselves as scientologists.

Although what you say would make sense, it contradicts what the article says. I mean, the text from the article is pretty clear, is it not?

They ban the >Church< of Scientology. Sounds like a religion to me.

This is when Anonymous declared war on Scientology. Though they did not achieve all their goals Anonymous seriously damaged Scientology and were able to bring a spotlight on a ton of abuses.

To some, Scientology is a bona fide religion based upon rigorous research and its doctrines are akin to universal scientific laws. But to others, including some former members, Scientology is a cult whose so-called doctrines are nothing more than ridiculous science-fiction stories invented by founder, L. Ron Hubbard. What is the truth about Scientology? Find out in this compelling documentary that takes you inside the walls of this controversial organization. Starring: Sabine Weber, Ralf Gerhardt, Ursula Caberta, Harry Brauer

    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
