SilverHawk and I finished grading the submission, we are waiting for Demonwrath. He has 24 hours. Obviously if he won't send his gradings by then only SilverHawk's and mine would count. Further more, he will not be allowed to host any future short stories contests.

This is THE LAST time Demonwrath will ever be a judge any contest on TH.net, this is not the first time he abandoned a contest he was judging.

Awesome, thanks for doing all that work, Rheias and to the other judges for getting their reviews in. I know I was a pain, but I did put a lot of work into that short story.
Congratulations to all the contestants. You all have very interesting stories, and I'm excited for the next contest. I'm not sure of a prompt yet, but I'd sleep on it.
I'll contact you, Rheias, tomorrow.

Congrats to all who participated in the contest, and especially to Ninva.
One thing I'll say to all future contestants:
Short stories should be self-sufficient - that is they should not be a prequel to some other story, or reference events your readers have never heard of. Some people did that in this contest, and it showed.
I hope to see all of you participate in future contests!
(I also hope to judge again, if Ninva doesn't mind.)

Varine:
I ordered like five blocks for 15 dollars. They're just little aluminum blocks with holes drilled into them -
Varine:
They are pretty much disposable. I have shitty nozzles though, and I don't think these were designed for how hot I've run them
-

Varine:
I have spare parts for like, everything BUT that block lol. Oh well, I'll print this shit next week I guess. Hopefully it fits

Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
-
The Helper:
So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site

-
The Helper:
The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats

Varine:
I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
-
Varine:
Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
-
Varine:
Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
-
Varine:
And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
-
Varine:
These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
-
Varine:
Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
-
Varine:
Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
-
The Helper:
Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
-
-
Varine:
I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
-
Varine:
I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air
