Hey Tom I am real worried I have not heard from you since the Taiwan earthquake. Can you please check in and let us know you are OK? I hope you and all your family are OK!
I don't know if I have told you this or not but man thanks for posting the news for so many years! You have a nose for news and you have posted good stuff! Thank you!!!
I don't know if you're familiar with the youtube channel of Tek Syndicate, but they tend to report stories in the nature of what you post a lot of the times. So if you wanted to reach a larger audience you should check out their news forum. Anyways keep up the good work, I miss this site, seems to have slowed down quite a bit. https://forum.teksyndicate.com/c/community/news
Yes I am from Taiwan. I mainly come to this site (it's been like over seven years?) to see news postings. It all started with asking questions about mapping in WC3 haha!
Hello, Tom. As promised, the OpenGL terrain source: https://github.com/monovertex/fractal-terrain. If there's anything, please ask, but I will not be able to provide extensive support, as I'm under heavy assault from homework and the like at the moment.
I just wanted to let you know, I am upgrading my phone to a note 2 (I sold my old one a week ago), so while this will most likely resolve any "lag" issues, if there are still issues, it's probably not due to my phone being old :p
Yo bro', just wanted to extend a thank you from me and probably most of the rest of us that regularly post on the news threads. Without you, TheHelper.net would be a greatly diminished site in my eyes. Your dedication is invaluable, so again... Thanks!
Would you be interested in a News forum mod position? The advantage is that you post straight to the News forum and don't have to be approved. You have to move posts, even your own to submissions if they have less than 50 views and/or under 3 replies in a day or if it looks like a post after half a day is not going to meet that. Not all submissions get moved to News, only ones you think are interesting and you think will be commented on or popular viewed. What u say?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
