Ok...This is from experience...forums that you do not have total control over suck (free ones)

Some questions that I think everyone wants to know:

  1. What does your forum have to offer that others don't?
  2. Why should I join your forum?

Alls that I can say is if I followed you guys advice about starting out with a free forum this forum would not be hear today. I started out on Free Forums and was very happy with them until they closed down and I could not use them anymore.

Everybody has to start somewhere. Even if they only have 3 members. The experience is good no matter where you start - and as these forums as an example - you have no idea what that concept will turn into.

Why do people even setup free forums? They seldom last more than 2 months.

Really? Because mine lasted to just about a year. Before we upgraded to being a paid-for site :) That's still up.

I realize you said they "seldom" last more than 2 months, but let's think positively.

Word, dawg.

Everyone get off the bandwagon. This isn't the "let's bash everyone's new site and discourage them all!" thread/site.

TH's right, even though I had no idea that this site started out on a free forum, I know that Seth started GH with Invision, there's no problem with it :).

Just get some traffic (which is kinda what you're doing now), use ads to get money, and then maybe you'll be able to afford a better, more powerful forum :).

    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
