I just spent this weekend down at the district wrestling tournament. Guess what? Its in AKRON. Guess what? My mother sent me BAD directions....and added a zero to "5 miles", making it '50 miles'. Guess what? Bah, you know what.

Basically its a tournament of the entire school district (some 15 schools) to see whos going to the State tournament. So theres about 400 matches, and your guy prolly wrestles every two hours. Its been a long, LONG weekend. Ken did good, but the last day he needed to go 3 in a row to make states, and only won 2. But he still took fifth, which makes him the 'alternate' in case someone is injured during states. That places him somewhere in the top 20 of the state for his weight. You can tell who lost in the hallways by the tears. Its emotional for everyone- some dreams are made, others are crushed. But thats how it goes.

Aside from that, I'm working at home during the evenings as well. I am also looking to getting back into training full time, and hoping to take up some fights this year. Plus, I have a full time woman now. (heh heh)

I'm still popping in when I've got a slow moment, but I probobly wont be here as much as I have been.

Does that mean your commiting? Hehe, if that's so, you just don't seem liek the type of guy who would settle down. I'm not saying it's necessarily bad, but you just don't seem like that type of guy. You seem to be more of the partying, make it with 50 girls in one night hehe.;)

HO YEAH DUDE! I was told the match was in Akron and I said I bet Ryoko is really happy about that being in AKRON! Which of course wasn't understood at all by said person so I had to explain the whole other Akron fiasco before, but I must not have conveyed the Horribleness of it all so well cause it was just laughed off as what a funny joke. Even funnier to me is that it was laughed off by the person who then aided you in getting lost in Akron the second time around.
Poor poor ryoko *snif*

OMG its so true. I walked in about an hour late, but ken wrestled an hour 1/2 later than predicted. Phew.

I DEMANDED gas money and ticket from M&D too - they payed it. I went on about the directions for 20 minutes. She even had the wrong EXIT number.

So then she has to leave early, right? And she said

'I hope I can make it out of Akron on my own' and I SAID - HEY, I HAVE SOME QUALITY DIRECTIONS YOU CAN USE!

That used to be the story. Then I got old.

Yea, I know the feeling, I'm also getting old. I mean, I'm 13 now, and I'm getting up there, eh?

I mean, your around 24 right? Yea, your getting pretty old, even though you have probably 40 years ahead of you (unless you die in an MMA fight, of course)

(I'm being sarcrastic if you couldn't tell.)

    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
