It seems some people want to block Firefox users from viewing their websites, because of an app called "AdBlock-Plus"

who ever hates ad's sai "I"

I! dude, what sane person who does not like add's not try to block them? thats not communism, it's logic. If the people you are working for don't like ad's then they will try and give you the option for them. I use Opera, but it has something like it. I mean, I'm sure everyone wants to be payed for there work, but i am sure that everyone else does not want to pay as well. *there are some things you are willing to pay for reasons that be*

If someone is stupid enough to block my browser because I don't want to burden my connection with his ads then I better not see his site anyway.

1. Go to about:config.
2. Change general.useragent.extra.firefox to something else than Firefox.
3. Realize that the content of the only site that blocks firefox for above reason is mostly filled with blog posts about how great he is that he blocks firefox.
4. Change general.useragent.extra.firefox back to default.

Meh, if you have the luxury to decide what people visit your site then I really thought that the content must be something extraordinary.

Lol. Or you could just skip all that and not bother even goin to the loser that blocks firefox users' site. I use ABP and I love it. Specially you go to sites that MASS popups and nasty ads, its SOOOOOOOO helpful.

Yeah some sites are just gay with ads, like dating ads or some half naked girls on some flash banner blinking in my face. Thats when Adblock comes in and just blocks all that stuff so my mom doesnt walk in and get the wrong idea...like last time =P

Great.

Now the people who come on your site are all guaranteed (are they?) to see your ads.

But you get less people visiting anyway so...

Pretty much pointless if you ask me :rolleyes:

And who honestly wants less users visiting their website?

    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.

    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
