Thought I'd make a thread to discuss what you guys typically do on the weekends to spend your time. Always fun to discuss this kinda stuff, so hit it up!

What kind of things do you normally spend your weekends doing?

I suppose I'll start off.

What kind of things do you normally spend your weekends doing?

Jam sessions at a friends. They play regular instruments, so far I've brought something different everytime. Next week I'm playing juiceharp through an audio microphone wired through a PC mixing so I can add FX and modulate it. :)

Usually have a movie/booze night at a friends. This weekend I saw Orphan, The Hurt Locker, Zombieland, Harold and Kumar (White Castle), The Hangover and some NFB animation by Mclaren. I didn't see it all in one running. Throughout the weekend. :p

Typically do some song writing in an electornic medium. Every day though has musical tinkering, the weekends tends to be better for it though since less people are in the house.

Lot of eating out with friends. Had a nice sit down meal at an indian place tonight. Butter chicken is magic.

So booze, movies, food, music. Now I sound like a typical youngin.

I get forced to parties alot, eitherwise I'm off somewhere with a person, or just doing stuff to pass the time. Though, I rarely have a weekend due to my job.

When I'm at home, me and friends will often go to the cinema or a bunch will come around to mine for films and such, or sometimes it's just a quiet weekend bumming around the house.
When I'm at Uni, as I am now, I become almost terminally lazy; I'll go get food for the week on Saturday morning, then spend the rest of the weekend sleeping :p

I guess it comes down to the computer, friends, and getting drunk.

I sort of have a strange school/work schedule, so I'll just go over my week.

Any time I have "free time" I spend it playing games, working on Forest CTF, doing homework, or programming something.

Usually spend Sunday with my girlfriend, unless she's got way too much homework, in which case I work on mine, or have free time the whole day.

Monday is spent from 6am (waking up) to 5:30pm (arriving at home) at school, and the rest of the day on as free time.

Tuesday is free time, mostly spent on homework.

Wednesday is the same as Monday.

Thursday is the same as Tuesday.

Friday is spent from 6am (waking up) to 2:50 (last class ends) at school. I also get to eat lunch with my girlfriend! 3:00 to 6:00 is spent at college, working on music, and Forest CTF. From 6:00 to around 8, I spend it with a bunch of friends working on a large game project in a meeting, getting ideas, and sharing what's going on with the game. I'm the guy who makes music, and might do some programming/concepts for the game. Then I spend the rest of the day (until about 1am) at my friends' apartment, eating bacon, chili fries, and working on linux/programming/awesome stuff.

Saturday I spend the morning (10am to 1:30pm) on TH, or playing games, and the rest of my day (2-10) working.

Basically, Sundays are fun and I get to spend it with my girlfriend, Tuesday/Thursday are catch-up days, and Friday is the awesome hang-out day.

My weekends generally consist of hanging out with friends, killing the streets with some sportbike stunting, going to random out of town places just for the hell of it, and random BBQ's/Get togethers. BBQ's, mmm. :cool:

and lets not forget the alcohol, thats generally part of most weekends. :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
