You have to have a long standing service to the forum, act maturely on the forums, etc. Most of it is pretty obvious. Ask TH for specifics; he's the one who decides.

You pm him... And this should have really gone in general discussion... Not a good start if you want to be an admin. :D

(that is the sort of thing to ask that will not elevate you to admin status ;) )

Perhaps you should ... look around a bit? He will probably see this and respond personally (we had a similiar post about trying to become a mod recently in general discussion or something).

Act maturely (having website exp. helps a lot too), be knowledgeable about this sort of thing (computers and video games, etc.), be polite to others and kind to noobs ... new members, sorry, b-net slang sticks for a while. Use Proper Grammar and Spelling! Without it, I'd say you have 0.000000000001% of become an administrator ...

Btw, how much of this site have you looked into? You aren't even a special member yet (moderation powers over your own posts, primarily), and have some negative rep, so I'd try and aim a little lower than an admin ;)

If you stick with this site for a while, the grammar, knowledge, and politeness should come naturally. Your typing should adjust almost automatically as YOU adjust to this site ...

Don't flame anyone! "Flaming is like the special olympics; even if you win, you are still retarded"

Usually, you start out as a new member, then rise in ranks and become a special member, then after you have picked up a lot of maturity and knowledge, you are usually appointed to become a mod. THEN, after hanging around for a while (and usually when another admin leaves) and helping people, you become an admin (muahahahaha).

So, I'd say, first thigns first: Work on grammar and clear that negative rep :shades:.

Btw, I am a major grammar cop; even if I don't say anything, I will remember it and automatically lower my opinion of you (subconciouslly, of course :p).

Alert! Alert! Code 57 - B at sector 12, quadrant 4! Outbound on S. 42 Ave.!

I pick the administrators. They are usually long time members of the site - people I trust implicitly. There is really no guide I can give you - the answers in this thread are good information though.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    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

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