It is not actually monsoon season, but rather it is a yearly rain season. Do pack at least two, just in case one of your umbrellas starts to leak water. Sometimes it rains heavily, like a downpour, for a short while.

I am just waiting on my Passport. The Attorney General was supposed to have released travel lock but still waiting. We can check on passport like on Tuesday. Still have time not leaving until July 2.

Going to stay in a bunch of hostels in different parts of Seoul and some other places to save money. They run like 30 to 50 and the Hamilton was 75 a night. I will get my place then sight see and explore the area then go back to the place. The Hostels have shared common area so you are supposed to be able to meet people.

I have never felt so insulted in my life. Cheap hostels in Korea are fine. Cheap hostels in other parts of Asia..

Well, they (those in other parts of Asia) are of poor quality. Don't get your hopes up for cheapish hostels.

I don't need a whole lot and it is just going to me and I will be only sleeping there. The only reason I am getting a private room in these places for myself is because I snore. I have respect for other people :) I am doing alot of research on these places and the quality of place seems to be better in Korea than what is reported other places in Asia.

Child Support issue I don't want to get into on these forums suffice it to say it is a long story. I will be able to get a passport just maybe not in the time span necessary for this trip.

He eventually will get his passport, just not in time for the planned vacation.

Speaking of which, does all of this makes your daughter disqualified from the contest? Since she's 13, she may need a guardian/parent for the travel and such.

    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
