So essentially, a fellow high schooler in my district, Jeff Zhao, is attempting to get $20,000 dollars for a scholarship to a university by winning a contest.

The competition is people going head to head by people attempting to gather the most amount of votes possible from others.

And at the moment that is what I attempting to help him do.

I would very much appreciate it if you helped out. Just register up on the site and vote for him. It's not long, and your extra votes will definitely help him win the money.

If you don't want to vote then please tell why here in the topic. It only takes 2 minutes to register, and I'm sure that if you were in a competition you would like people to vote for you.

And if you do vote, be sure to tell here. I'm trying to keep a note on how many extra people I'm getting votes from, since I'm helping out because this is my debate captain's friend.

Thanks to all who aid him in his effort.

Well, he is about to graduate from school, being a senior now. Thus, it is imperative that he get as much money now while has the chance, and this will probably be one of the last huge chances he is going to get. I wouldn't be asking other people to vote for him if I didn't think he deserved it, and he apparently has a GPA of 4.333. He's ranked 45 out of 606 students, putting him in the top 7.4%. He got a 2320 on his SAT I and became a National Merit Finalist with a PSAT score of 234. He's also a member of the National Honor Society and has been debating for 4 years, becoming part of the Varsity Debate Team.

I ranked 12 in over a thousand students. I got more money from the Army than I did from scholarships. Why would I want to give it to him than to the number one student?

Because the person who was number 1 in the school, for some odd reason, decided not to participate in the contest. So regardless of whether this guy wins or not, the #1 student will still be as well/bad off as he is now.

Same. In fact, I think this is the only kid from my district that decided to participate. If any of the others did, they didn't gather enough votes in time. This isn't just a district tournament. It's all over the United States. There are actually 4 separate tourneys going on in the North, South, East, and West sides. The winner of each one faces off in the final 4, and then the last 2 fight it off. The grand finalist receives the $20,000. Everyone else gets squat.

Well then I'm saving my vote until I find a kid I like.

You can search for other kids by clicking on "Top 64". At the moment, there are 15 other people left in the 4 tournaments. Go through and see if you like anyone. I suppose that there's no changing your mind about this, so I might as well give some other competitor the vote.

On another note, Jeff is losing by about 100 votes at the moment. I would appreciate for anyone else out there to lend a helping hand.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    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
