For some, tomfoolery is just a way of life.
Enough standing around posing, back to the fun.

In the land of Tomfoolery a lie is being told.
Enough about us, back to the Ruse.

We found the source of Foolishness, of Tricks and Fiendish fray
we studied It, we learned from It, and now we only play.
But each will play in its own way and take their chosen path
until they find both truth and lies and turn down glee for wrath.

This is where we buried It.

Dont bother getting comfortable, its never what you think
In Tomfoolery it always ends...with a grin, and a wink.

break the chains and free the slaves
so many times betrayed
we'll set It free and then you'll see
the Curse, the Crime, the Shade

A Moon gets lost and a world is born. Welcome to Tomfoolery.

"Tomfoolery and the Ruse"
Prologue Part 1

A Moon got lost and fell to a distant world, Tomfoolery. Inside the Moon the native people discover the Three Great Treasures, Foolishness, Tricks, and Fiendish play. The Treasures had much to teach the people of Tomfoolery about the little joys in life. They learned all about the importance of fun, play, tricks, pranks and mischief. From that day Tomfoolery changed forever, into a place of constant silliness and foolishness. A world of smiles and laughter. However, once the Treasures were released from the Moon its awesome power tried to draw them back in. In an effort to keep their new friends the people of Tomfoolery buried it far beneath the surface.

Thanks to Foolishness, Tricks, and Fiendish play Tomfoolery is a happy place where seriousness is unheard of and every day is filled with play. The people are thankful that the Moon brought them such pleasure and over time have forgotten its strange desire to reclaim the Treasures.

The Moon only comes out at night.

"Tomfoolery and the Ruse"
Prologue Part 2

Over time the winds and water slowly washed away the ground until the Moon wasnt buried so deep anymore. By chance, or by fate, a group of children found it while playing in a river bed and not knowing what it was, opened it. With all its stored power and desire to reclaim what was once its own the Moon pulled the 3 children into itself and quickly closed, falling back into the river bed to be forgotten about once more.

Over the endless days trapped inside the soul of the Moon the children lost all hope, all knowledge of happiness and slowly began to change. Sustained by their hatred for the Moon and everything else the childrens form began to match that of their heart. Twisted and seething with malice and rage they forgot their own names, forgot their families, and focused on one thing; escaping their prison and unleashing their hatred on the whole world, making everyone suffer as they suffered.

Meh I think that if you're make a post you should at least post something. Not necessarily a lot if you wanna do suspense like this. But something small that people could start the discussion with.

Click to expand...

well, clearly it has sparked discussion, cos there are already 12 posts (last count) on this thread :D I thinks its a good tactic to take to build up suspense for the viewer... a lot of gaming companies do it nowadays and it seems to work :rolleyes:

    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
