He's got a point. This suit is manifactured by following the Australian flying squirrels' "wings".



Yes, SFilip, Tomb Raider II: the Cradle of Life includes it in one of its scenes.

Sure is not fake. There is even a company selling them.

I hope that company has a "you die not our problem policy" because when I saw the videos they get close to land and fly at a incredible fast speed.

Edit: I guess they do :rolleyes:

how do they actually land?
parachute like in the last 10 seconds?

That looks FUN!

Although after about 10 minutes you'd be like "O god... i just wanna land and go home" :p

    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

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.

    I think we need to add something to the bottom of the front page that shows the Headline News forum that has a link to go to the News Forum Index so people can see there is more news. Do you guys see what I am saying, lets say you read all the articles on the front page and you get to the end and it just ends, no kind of link for MOAR!

    @The Helper I'm really not seeing the "Signature" link in the sidebar on that page. Here's a screenshot:

  • The Helper The Helper:
    I have reported it - I was wondering why nobody I have given sigs to over the last few years have used them
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Ghan has said he has fixed this. Monovertex please confirm this fix. This was only a problem with people that had signatures in the upper levels like not the special members but the respected members.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Here is a better place to manage this stuff https://www.thehelper.net/account/account-details which I think should be way more visible

    I am hoping that online user count drop is finally that TikTok bot banned
