I guess I can let everyone know that I got a special gift-- I'm now an "MVP"

But not from Blizzard. From Microsoft!

Apparently they noticed me here and on other forums and they have sent me a LOT of goodies. Such as a big gift certificate to their online store where things are sold super cheap (MS products as well as corporate stuff like mugs with Microsoft logos... ha), and a full MSDN Universal subscription (full versions of all operating systems, Office software and Enterprise Dev tools.) And a nice bag and framed certificate plus access to some private newsgroups and betas.

I'm not sure who nominated me (if anyone... apparently nomination is a big thing), but thanks if its someone from here.

Congratu - Fucking - Lations Rapmaster. THAT IS AWESOME! I am so glad to see you getting some recognition for all the work you have done supporting people over all these years. That MSDN universal subscription is SWEET! I hope that we do not lose you to the Microsoft forums because of this but I would not blame you for a second.

haha thanks

These days I have a lot less time to post on ANY forum, with work and everything, but I'm not going anywhere!


I also had the choice of a Technet Plus subscription, but I get that through work (I think) and its kind of boring ;) Plenty of other goodies: I'm really amazed how they treat their online community. I'm unfortunately under a fairly strict NDA though so I can't say much more.

The casual friendly relationship between their support staff and the community reminds of Blizzard in the old days :/ Yes folks I am talking about Microsoft.

Congrats Rapmaster. :)

I have no idea why Blizzard didn't make you an MVP, but a Microsoft MVP designantion seems even better, heh.

i requested that myself
now i run the tech cr@p

    New recipe is Shipwreck Dinner - https://www.thehelper.net/threads/recipe-shipwreck-dinner.193511/
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
