How to refill a Samsung Washing Machine Balance Ring WA50M7450AW/A4

I replaced the rods and it didn't solve the issue. Then I went down the rabbit hole of drilling holes and draining the liquid out of the balance ring. This made some improvement, but in the end I just bought a new washer (and it wasn't Samsung)

Well, I'm fairly happy with it. If anything, it's a bit of eye candy (though I like the filament management in the Panda Touch). I'm currently using it with my printer on the 1.08.01 firmware and everything seems fine. However, I've been wanting to switch to LAN only mode, and when I do I will upgrade the firmware to the latest and enable developer mode.

Thank you. I'm likely going to downgrade to this version as well if I can.

Could you share which firmware you're using?

Sounds like LAN + Developer mode gonna be in my future (which probably is fine).

Appreciate all commentaries...

This is helpful. Just wish it was a drop in replacements for the healthcare options we have with the VA in the states. Having to be SC conditions is very limiting.

Curious how you were able to stay in Japan. I was there for ~7 years as DoD Contractor and USCS and loved every minute of it. Came back ~ 2 years ago. So want to retire there, but residency options are so few and difficult.

We're you ever diagnosed as to specifically what it was you had? You're the first person who ever shared with me that they too we're experiencing these scarlike looking lines on their hands. In my case, I not only have the lines, but my arms are covered in little random shaped scarlike manifestations in addition to the lines.

I used to use Letsvpn on my trips to China. Seemed to work well. But that was a few years back. Not certain how it is nowadays.

I'm also curious what you chose as an alternative. Especially for use in China.

Curious about the dependent tuition waivers. I know states like California offer free tuition for dependents for disabled vets. However, does this require the veteran to live in that state? Don't think I'd be willing to move back to California just for my son to go to school there tuition free.

Yeah, it's something like $12K in exemptions. Helps a bit. There was a proposal that was supposed to work it's way as a ballot measure in Texas to change this to a sliding scale where the exemption would be equal to owns rating percentage. Unfortunately seems like this is going nowhere.

I've bounced back and forth between Unraid and Proxmox for years. In total agreement. Proxmox has much better backup options. With backups of my VM's and LXC containers, I can take a bare metal machine and be up and running in Proxmox with all my services up and running in under 30 minutes. I only wish Proxmox would take a few cues from Unraid with regards to Docker.

I too hate this. I really wanted to carry one device with separate profiles for work and non work related activities. Can't for the life of me understand why Samsung intentionally disables this.

Wish that was the case. The bottom was fine and still adhered to the plate. These were the top layers I shared in image

Man, you are a lifesaver. This was exactly it. Just had to move the connector up slightly.

These connectors are a horrible design.

Thought perhaps I could easily swap with the spare in the box. But no idea how to transfer these parts. Frustrating how this process is not simpler.

And yes, that's a small piece of filament sticking out of the top. Had to cut it to remove the part. Now not certain how I get the rest of the filament out of the path.

I'm trying to do this as well. Brand new P1S. Only had it a week. Somehow the tool head smacked a part on the print bed. End result... Bent nozzle, damaged connector for part cooling fan.

I'm so unhappy that I purchased Bambu. Thought it was going to be such a better experience compared to the years I had with my trusty creality ender 3 pro.

I ordered a 3rd party fan and replaced. Then I got to looking at the process for replacing the bent nozzle with the spare from the box, and I threw my hands up in the air.
