Okay.

So one day, theres two Canadian Geese outside our office door. The door is glass, and they are trying to get in. I thought it was funny. Us engineers gathered around and watched the geese. Do you realize how big they really are? Makes me want to eat em, mmmmmm :)

Some facts about canadian geese:
  • Geese mate for life.
  • If one dies, the other usually does too.
  • Canadian Geese FULLY protected by law in ohio.
  • Our door is glass.
Okay! So, for the last WEEK, these geese are trying to get INSIDE the office! Ahhhh! Why?

Inside office = Warm nest

Aight aight. So every time I go outside, they hiss! Geese hiss??? I GUESS SO!

They have nested near our office complex. Okay, so soon we will have LOTS of geese.

Now, get this. Goose? He hides behind the concrete wall, outside my window.

Except his head.

Like a periscope.

He spies on me daily! Every moment I look up, HE IS THERE. I can't take it anymore! Spies! That stupid goose stares at me ALLLLL day. I am going crazy.

I have included an illustration. Goose. Behind wall. Outside window.

Please help,

Ryoko.

Hahaha!

I feel sorry for you. My recent happening is that a stupid woodpecker keeps pecking out of our house...and they're protected by those dang tree huggers of PA.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA ahhh, this is almost as good as the mouse hunt of '04! Yeah geese hiss, case in point, Ken, when he was like 5 and was at the park and geese hissed at him, and he hissed back, and they ran him down and bit his behind. So, moral of the story, whatever you do, don't hiss back.

Looks like a solid plan to me. Good call on that double chee, maybe you catch him in half the time that way? Make sure the half naked chick has the bike running already to cut down on get away time, those geese are fast when they get going LOL

Lol, very good plan. it reminds me of that one steven king movie, where he sling shots a pepsi can at the switch on the wall, and then the monster bat thing gets groundup, and then the rats are all eating it, and then....anyone know what I'm talking about?....ok, nvm....

I like your plan Ryoko.:D

Same thing's going on with me and my cat. Bastard sits outside my sliding glass door peaking her head in and staring at me. I had it open the other day to get some air in and she got on my bookshelf and did nothing but stare at me.

    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
