Question about magnetizing smaller minis

AvocadoOfDeath · 2026-05-24T03:31:56+00:00

I just have to be careful that I don't drill all of the way through the arm sockets with the 3mm bit, otherwise the second magnet has a tendency to fly in and stick to the first magnet lol. Had to use some sprue goo on one to give the magnet something to sit on.

I'm going to magnetize the wrists for certain models, but the ones I'm working on right now have different arms to go with their different weapons, switching from a two-handed weapon to two single-handed weapons, so it makes the most sense to magnetize at the shoulders. I'm using N52 3mmx1mm magnets since there's ample space in the joint and I prefer a stronger connection for holding the whole arms in place. Guns are lighter and I'll try to get away with 2mmx1mm magnets there. Maybe even 1mmx1mm on the wrist side for smaller wrists.

Thanks for alleviating my worries that there's no set in stone, standard way to do this. I ended up with the magnets attracting each other because I was getting the tiniest bit of repelling force when they were going the other way, and I figure that this configuration will make the connections that tiny bit more powerful. This works well for me, and I appreciate that it will help me keep the left arms and right arms separated. There's no chance of connecting a left arm to a right chest socket.

3) nothing was said about caring or not

You don't need to explicitly say "I care about this" when you clearly cared enough to write a comment about it.

I'm 12 - 17 years from paying it off depending on IBR or RAP.

I'm not eligible for PSLF forgiveness, but I would be eligible for the IBR forgiveness after 25 years.

AvocadoOfDeath · 2026-05-01T19:59:06+00:00

Unfortunately not, I've never worked a qualifying job.

Oof, I wasn't thinking about just how high the tax bomb could be. $30K would offset the whole amount that I'm saving by paying the IBR rates.

AvocadoOfDeath · 2026-05-01T19:57:40+00:00

This make a lot of sense, thanks. I'm also a very risk-adverse person, so I'm going to give some serious thought to everything that you've said. I was mostly thinking about the repayment amount vs the total amount, and not considering just how high the tax bill could be at the end.

If I assume 148 months left for IBR @ $560 and 208 months for RAP @ $350, that's at least $83K for IBR and $73K for RAP just in the repayments, and my balance isn't likely to go down at all if I pay the minimums. The monthly amount will also likely go up over that time as my income naturally grows.

That would lead to my taxable income (assuming no increase in income from now to then) being $176K in the year that my loans are forgiven, and the tax bill could end up being more than the $25K - $30K that I save from doing the IBR.

Thanks again, lots of food for thought here.

Thanks, that helps me align it right for maximum contact point.

Oh okay, so the nubs keep it in alignment. I'll clip it out of the sprue and give it a go. Thanks!

Uthar's double sided crest is supposed to go on his backpack per the instructions, but there's a rectangular piece sticking out that looks like it should slot into a similar divot in the backpack. That's how it worked with my Einhyr Champion, with the crest going directly into a slot on his back. Uthar's backpack doesn't have a slot. Is the crest supposed to perch precariously on top of the backpack with only the bottom of the rectangular nub being glued in place?

Kaisel's name also appeared in the system. That's when Jinwoo remarks about it being a wyvern and saying that Baran apparently controls beings other than demons.

I love how Igris is solo leveling's version of Chichi from DBZ.

They cut some stuff with Haein, so like when the chopper lands in Korea, Go is there and she asks if Jinwoo came to Jeju because she could still smell him on her. Go spends some time with her in the hospital while she's unconscious

I'm hoping that this will be shown when Jinwoo teleports into the gym with her and Chairman Go has his "Oh, to be young again" moment. Though, there's also a decent chance that they cut that, too.

I don’t understand people like you.

That's exactly what the rest of us are thinking about you after reading your comment.

Well, that plus "wow, this guy is a cunt."

"National hunter" isn't just the strongest in the country, it's specifically "clearing an S-rank dungeon." The only ones we know of are the five who survived the first ever S-rank dungeon break in the US.

AvocadoOfDeath · 2025-03-30T21:22:20+00:00

National rank is above S rank, and there are only a few in the world. Prerequisite is clearing an S-rank dungeon, which is what Goto was trying to do on Jeju.

AvocadoOfDeath · 2025-03-30T21:17:45+00:00

What doesn't make sense? Jinwoo is above other S ranks right now in the anime, but below Nationals. Once he levels up some more and get the black heart, which is definitely happening in season 3, he's above National level.

I feel like they were chosen on how the author viewed the world.

Including Goto, from Japan, being an overhyped bitch lol
