I was surprised when i noticed that no one has touched on this (correct me if im wrong). I think the existence of god is a important and very interesting topic. I was raised in a protestant christian family and considered myself a christian for 17 years but i am an atheist now. I think that believing in something without justification and evidence is irrationell, even if it happens to be true, because otherwise you can believe in anything.

Edit:
It would be more interesting if you explained why you do or don't believe in God.

No, I don't. Currently, every friday, I go to the priest's house to talk about god, (that's something we do, dunno if other countries do it.) but, no, it's too naive for me.

Because a debate on the existence of (a) God could be a touchy subject for some, and could get out of hand :p

On the other hand, there are things you can't believe until you see them.

Truly watch what you say in this thread. Keep it clean.

But more on topic; no I don't.

Awesome, but yeah, that's how it is.
But, anyways, there are also minor things who make me think that there is something.

I just read in some magazine (my grandpa who was biotechnican also says it.) that if the temperature had been 0.00000001 (or something like that.) degrees colder or warmer, Big Bang never could have happened. Scary... :nuts:

What he originally read was probably accurate. It is true that our universe and its constants are perfectly fine tuned for stability (as we see it) and for life (as we know it), and that even minor differences in the initial conditions or physical constants could have resulted in a universe in which the existence of life such as ours is impossible. This idea is usually referred to as The Goldilocks Universe.

"And even if God really existed, it would be necessary to abolish him"
something that popped up in my mind, dunno where I've heard it.

No, I don't believe in God. There might be a God, but I don't believe in one. Neither do I believe we can know that there is no God.

Isn't it the other way round?

    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
