the unknown, especially drugs/pills/chemicals (do you know what those things do to you?)
Well, you "all" should be afraid. Very afraid
You see, It might harm, shrink something and so on, in your body. Doesn't that sounds terrifying!?

I think FireCat is scared of drug addicts.

No, I don't think so. lol
Anyway, I know some people that have/had their lives screwed up by drugs
and some of them are DEAD now.

But the drugs themselves cause more problem. Isn't that so?

Yes, it would be quite naïve to believe that drugs can't cause problems. But some take drugs to have fun and some take them to fill holes within themselves. Often the drugs aren't the original cause. You get what I'm trying to say?

you guys mostly misinterpreted it.. not drugs like alcohol/crack/etc. (those have fairly obvious effects and thus I am not scared of them) but prescriptions/etc. (which I have no clue as to what the side-effects are, -> unknown -> fear)

... you mean those side effects they say really fast at the end of the commercial? I've never had much of an issue with drugs, typically they're kind of fun. However I am afraid of needles. I'm the fully grown adult that cries when he gets a shot. Tattoos are fine for some reason though, I don't mind getting those.

Kinda agree with Varine; side effects are half the fun ;) Especially if you don't know about them!

Cuz you're crazy, lol. I don't believe in medicinal drugs.

I fear failing. Not like work or grade failing. Like failing. Or missed oppurtunities. Yeah, don't wanna miss those out. Take em when you can.

yes, like from 2:06-2:16


but even more so of unknown stuff/untested, as well as the fact that I have no real knowledge of how it works

I don't mind trying/doing other new stuff, but im just afraid of medicines.. (not really sure why..)

I dislike the idea of working a 'normal' job, like sales person or something, for any extended period of time. Not really afraid of it, but it's up there in things that cause me discomfort to think about at length.

What do you work as? How did it go with your military plans?

Right now I'm just a student (which I also don't really like, it's boring). Fuck the military.

No, I have AED but that doesn't bring in any money as we haven't released anything. I want a doctorate in mathematics to increase my chances at being allowed to have a nuclear reactor.

Then I guess I was wrong :p

Anyway, let's get back on topic.

    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
