Okay. No Christmas tree for ReVolver then. lol
Hes got to have Christmas! But anyways, I'm also atheist and I have no problem with celebrating Christmas. I don't believe in the religious parts of it, no, but it's still a wonderful time of spending time with friends and family. :)

I was pretty sure that Revolver was a Christian... :p

Nice DDR machine, DDR! :eek:
Thanks, though I don't even play it anymore. Haha :D

Ex-Catholic ¬_¬ ... I believe in Agnosticism* but I still give gifts away, I just don't have the money to buy a tree from "the recession" we're having. :thdown:



*I still follow Christian Morals but I question most of the bible (Old Testament/New Testament)

TBH, Christmas isnt that big of a Christian thing anymore since we basically went away from what it meant (Birth of Christ). for kids, its just another way to mooch presents from parents.

With that being said. Its not really anyones right to say what you celebrate in December. Do what you want.

And with that being said... I really HATE setting up Christmas trees, especially the large ones.

TBH, Christmas started as a pagan holiday, as far as we know. Christians decided to use the winter season to celebrate Christ's birth because it was coincidental. Thus we named the holiday Christmas. So, we technically stole the idea from pagans.

Funny how people seem to forget this.

:( I wished I had Christmas events all over around where I lived. In Asia, we don't celebrate Christmas like you guys do. :( All we celebrate is red pocket money, which I'm not interested. (It's always cheaper than your monthly allowance, so forget asking me to give it to you guys.)

I'm in your base stealing your Christmas.

All your base are belong to me. I wanna be the guy that stole Christmas from everyone, because I envy you guys....:( (Darn, no crying smiley...)

So my mom and sister decorated the tree while I was up in LA with my buddy dropping some chick off at LAX at 1am at night. Zzzz.

Heres a pic of the lovely, basic tree. :cool:

Nah, it's a classic Joust machine, and the sitdown is Galaga. We also have another galaga and two Mrs. Pacman sitdowns, but they're not in the "arcade" living room right now.

We haven't brought Christmas tree at home long time. If we have something then they will be Picea abies (spruce) branches. Though big tree is so nice when decorated and in dark. Eating cookies and drinking milk (or whichever you prefer).
If we find strength (beat laziness) we decorate discreetly "guest" room lamp and add on curtains pretty shiny red balls and on closet doors that furry shiny "rope". Less is more.

Yeah, the Hannukah push is a pun, like Hannukah Harry.

It`s not legit, but it makes us feel special ^_______^

I`ll post it later.

Anyway, good cartoon, the ending was funny.

No one else has a tree up yet?! Come on guys!

Is it really necessary to have one? Well the point was to celebrate Jesus' birth, not who has the biggest tree, even if it is a man instinct :p

    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
