After a bit of work, I managed to finally make a half decent site which could somewhat nicely present my work. Tell me what you guys think!

dead old hijacked link removed

Also, let me know if anybody finds any glitches or bugs or anything like that...:)

I like it, :thup:
It has a cool, simple look. Easy to navigate, too, cept I didn't see the arrows to change pictures, ha, I was just clicking on the empty space to the right or left.
I love the designs.
Awesome photos. I like the colors and the depth of field you have in them. How did you get the 11th picture with the water drops? And is the 14th one light painting?
The animal photos are nice, are those all live?

Every time I click the title to go back to the homepage, it goes to the Design gallery for a sec before loading back to the homepage.

But anyways, great job.

Well when you present work, you want people to be able to link to a certain page or image. :)

Okay!
First, put all CSS and JavaScript in external files, as it can then be cached (meaning faster loading times for repeat visitors)
Second, unless your using a custom MooTools version, use the Google CDN. Less bandwidth for you, faster loading times for users, and it's cached on thousands (if not millions) of browsers.
Next, I'd not use tables, as the markup is ugly, and they're a pain to use.

And finally, don't ever use <center>. Use (CSS) 'width: ***px; margin *px auto;' (replacing * with your values').

(I'd use XHTML strict, but it's your opinion on that really.)

its very slow in my opinion and the thumbnails for all but the design link on the homepage weren't showing up but that might just be my computer

edit nvm they just took a bit to load (the thumbnails) =p
edit2 another thing, when you leave the web page from a picture then reload the page from an external link you see the picture you were last on for a few seconds then you change back to the homepage

    How come you're so into recipes lately? Never saw this much interest in this topic in the old days of TH.net
  • Monovertex Monovertex:
    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    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

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