Things have been going great for me these days, so much so that I was beginning to have a strong case of the Smug. It happens to everyone, especially those who feel extremely lucky or extremely clever enough to have had fortune smile on them for a such a long while. So when I came home at like 3:30 AM from meeting up a friend to the retching smell of vomit wafting from the direction of my dorm I blocked out the feelings of alarm and surprise, choosing instead to feel the Smug.

When I opened the door, the Smug melted away along with my scent of smell.

The living room was a mess. The kitchen was a disaster. The sofa looked like someone had taken a huge bite out of it, with cushions and fluff and bottles of beer strewn across the floor. The coffee table was upturned and a strong skunk-like smell hung over the arid air. You couldn't even see the damn ground. There was someone bent over the sink, unconscious with vomit leaking out of his mouth. I stared blankly at what looked like the remains of a warzone, trying and failing to summon up the Smug to replace my complete confusion.

I heard someone move inside his room, and I cautiously kicked it open to see my roommate spinning around in his chair with a beer in one hand and what looked like weed in the other. Beneath the chair was like a MOUNTAIN of bottles of beer. It was piled as high the chair base. There must've been like twenty or thirty. So I asked him what the fuck was going on and I bet he really tried hard to answer, but I couldn't really get much out of "mmmphraaggggghhhh-blerggghhh".

At this point the guy at the sink slipped off and sent a plate spiraling to the ground, where it shattered at the base of what looks like a trail of vomit leading to the bathroom where the door was half closed. From inside I could hear the water running, there was water leaking from the door too. This meant that no matter how hard I wanted to excuse myself from revealing whatever it was that laid behind Mystery Door no.1, I had to do it. Having the Smug firmly abandon me to my fate, I opened the door.

I looked in to see like two guys [with their pants on, no shirts] in the shower. Just lying in there holding each others' hands. They looked like they were about to fall asleep, only that the water would wake them up by entering their opened mouths. Everything in that room was covered in vomit, which included the mirror, the tiles, the sink, the shower, and the two people occupying it. The toiler was the worst, I bet being completely drunk and high did little to help their aim, as the area AROUND the toilet was covered in chunky yellow vomit. I looked back at the two guys who looked very content with holding each others' hands tightly in the shower. I had to fight the urge to switch the water to Freaking Ice Cold instead of turning it off.

So I turned back to the guy who was STILL twirling around in his chair that threatened to tip over and yelled at him, "What the fuck is going on?"

The guy tried to stand up and then tipped over into the miniature mountain of bottles. He started laughing and then fell asleep instantly.

It was all silent.

Well, almost. Across in the other room I heard something clicking repeatedly. I opened the door a crack to see two people staring at the ceiling light with their mouths opened in awe as one of them repeatedly turned the light on and off. They just sat there, staring at the light.

So I did the only thing I could do.

I went into my room, locked the door behind me firmly, changed into my shorts and wrapped myself in my nice clean blankets as I stared at my door watching to see if it moved.

I was scared.

    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.

    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
