Title says all. It's pretty unbearable. Currently 3/4 of the smilies to my right have loaded (and stopped loading). What happens is every thehelper.net page won't load, then it'll be really slow and not load all the way. Usually the not loading lasts like ten seconds to like thirty but it just lasted around three minutes.

Weird.
TheHelper.net loads (as usual) really quick on my computer.
Is it only TheHelper.net that's slow for you, or the rest of the internet as well?

Just TheHelper, I try it(EDIT: by this I mean my internet) every time TheHelper is slow. I also tried it with other browsers. (well just one other, but still)

Hooray for server changes. :p I think the slowdown was due mostly to a database import.
Nothing to worry about.

TH.net won't load for me at random times throughout the day. Will this be a permanent issue? :(

Same (including the iPod part), but the other day (I think it was 3-4 days ago), the site gave me a 404 when I tried to access it...

I was just about to make a thread about this myself.

For the past several days (including right now), this site has been intermittently slow/not responding for me to the point where it times out (several minutes without response). A short while later, and I'll be able to access it...and a short while again, and it'll be down. What's going on?

I can barely post this message, if it even goes through...

Further info:
"Safari can’t open the page “http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?p=1177860” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again."

It can't be just me, either. I tried loading this thread through proxify.com and it said no response on port 80.

It seems to be working now, but I experienced the same: Pages took 15 mins to load, and even then did not completely load.

The fact that this is happening is known. We are working on a resolution to the issue, but I do not know when that will happen.

    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.

    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
