He means that if you take download / upload and get 600+... there's a bit of a problem :p

Guess they don't want me uploading torrents or hosting servers...

I think there's something wrong with the site though, my down definitely isn't that quick :p Or maybe Time Warner is trying to make themselves look good and boosting speeds when the traffic is coming from speed meter sites. :nuts:

Yes! My friend had to call Time Warner cable because he couldn't download torrents and they had to open his specific ports so he can.

It's probably one of the PingTest.net server is near you...

Do you consider the ping if you're just measuring how fast you can go on these Speed Test? I'm just curious.

I beat yours, Bananaman.

O_O!!

Is there a coincidence between moderators and usually fast spikes in their connection speeds?

A few notes:
1. My ISP center is one of the oldest internet provider places in the US. They don't even have FIOS yet.
2. Apparently my house has a "weak" signal. We decided to switch to Optimum but they said a tree was blocking the cable.
3. My house has really bad internet connection for some reason :p
4. My brother was downloading p**n or something when I tested.

    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
