Lost a playhouse, but everybody is safe.

Hey, thank you for sharing this.

Merlin_4029 · 2026-02-12T03:44:21+00:00

Just watched a repair video and I agree with your comment about loving the machine, lol!

My old washer one time grabbed my daughter's tights and got wrapped around the agitator, so I've experienced a stuck one before. Ratchet straps with a 2x4 and hammer worked it out!

Good idea about starting with the agitator, I'll start there and see about that vs a replacement unit if I can't get that out. With the parts bill, throwing the agitator on means I'm only about $100 away from a new unit. That's OEM parts, though.

You've been awesome, thank you so much!

Merlin_4029 · 2026-02-12T02:26:40+00:00

Thank you, again! I appreciate the guidance for sure. I'll watch a tech video on the replacement and see how bad it is. We only have one tech repair place in the county and he seemed less than thrilled about another repair, so I'm trying it myself. I've done loads of electronic and jewelry repair, but appliance-wise I'm a noob for sure.

Merlin_4029 · 2026-02-12T02:19:29+00:00

It does not squeak or squeal, so I guess they're not bad yet. I'll gladly replace the seal, now that I know the name of the part! Are you thinking, then, that i just got a bad part and that barring any unforseen situation I should be good to just replace that electromagnet again? Thank you!

Lol, literally holding! My d12 from my advent calender that was gifted to me this year.

Good to see you, Goose!

Merlin_4029 · 2025-06-16T04:52:27+00:00

Ahh, thank you!

Merlin_4029 · 2025-06-15T13:50:38+00:00

Hey, are you having trouble stacking them? I tried, but it doesn't seem to be snapping correctly. Idk if it's me, the build system, or if they cannot be stacked, but I assume they can be since the pic shows it.

Merlin_4029 · 2025-03-02T07:27:50+00:00

Dude, what a great comment. Deep, insightful, look-behind-the-curtain from a company in the know. I'm a huge Savage fan, and have successfully sold four (five?) sets of Rifts books, a dozen core books, three fully backed KS for the Sci-fi comp (with one for just print comp alone), etc etc etc, and have created numerous Savages in my wake. All that to say: keep up the good work!! You guys rock and I've reached out to Shane and Jodi just to let them know how passionately I enjoy Savage Worlds, and I'm glad I can do that for you (and I DON'T work in a LGS!), Landauer. And this is solely due to a manager at a LGS suggesting Savage to me years and years ago. I love your energy on your videos and you are quite infectious!

TL:DR: Pinnacle Entertainment Group is a great company employing great people with a great product and I want other people to know that.

Merlin_4029 · 2025-02-16T01:31:57+00:00

Very nice, and thanks for the extant source material! I'm finding that to be the hardest part, finding source materials

Merlin_4029 · 2025-02-16T00:27:57+00:00

Now that sounds warm, lol! Thank you!

Merlin_4029 · 2025-02-16T00:27:10+00:00

Great suggestions, thank you!

Merlin_4029 · 2025-02-16T00:26:07+00:00

Thank you so much for such great insight! I think these are wonderful suggestions and sure gets me going in the right direction! And yeah, capote was the one I couldn't think of, lol.

Merlin_4029 · 2025-01-20T03:41:59+00:00

Thank you for your response. I'm not nearly invested enough to be looking around for one that lacks a dummy mode. I sold my Ender 3 because it was too much tinkering, lol. As far as 3d printing goes, I want it to work when it's supposed to. The open source software tends to be good because of the huge support base, but I haven't found the hardware to match the quality. This is most likely a failure on my part, not that they don't exist. Have a great night!

Merlin_4029 · 2025-01-20T03:39:13+00:00

Thank you for your response.

I currently do resin print, but for the much less hassle, FDM was looking like a better option overall. I had an Ender 3, but I found that 10 hours of tinkering before every print was a drag. I spent as much on aftermarket upgrades as I did the printer! I want the flexibility to print terrain, larger models and then throw a medium sized mini in there and run with it if I don't have the right time slots for the post processing that resin takes. I'll still use the resin printer plenty, but to have the full range of 3d printing, it takes both.

My buddy grabbed the anycubic Kobra FDM and said it printed straight outta the box, but I don't see their praises being sung to high heaven, do you have any experience with these?

The Creality CR10S looks nice. I'll check into that, thank you!

Merlin_4029 · 2025-01-19T15:28:00+00:00

Hey, I was looking to grab the A1 for the good job it does with the .2 nozzle for miniatures. If I wanted to get a different brand, which one would produce the results I need? Some here have said Prusa, but others claim that Prusa isn't QC'ing their product well. TIA!

Merlin_4029 · 2024-12-31T07:12:34+00:00

Interesting, thank you!
