Thank you so much for this video! My Big Shot was very hard to turn. It almost felt locked up. I took it apart and cleaned and lubricated the gears with bike chain spray lubricant, and now it turns so freely! I don't think it's been this good since I bought it. Thanks again for the great video! I would've thought it was broken and thrown it away if I hadn't seen this. Thanks so much for taking the time!
Thank you. I'm hoping that my model of Big Shot is similar enough to yours and I can repair it. My heart sank when I heard a God Awful "SNAP" last night that sounded like a gun shot! I thought I had cracked the plastic plate. But no the handle turns but the dies will not cut. I thought there was some sort of spring in there that broke but I dont see any springs in your video. Well it's time to be brave and start getting those screws off. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this easy to follow video! I thought maybe my big shot was only fit for the bin and now I’m feeling confident about fixing my machine!! ❤
My sidekick machine is broken My hub opened it and realized that 1 gear has 2 broken teeth. Somebody knows where can I find a new one? Or maybe the set of 4. Thanks in advance!
Great video.....a few weeks ago those two horseshoe shaped clips came off. I'm wondering, is that what is causing the uneven pressure when cutting? Thanks!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! My Big Shot developed a nasty grinding noise when I used it and it wasn't cutting at all well. I followed your video to take it apart and could see that one bearing was broken. I ordered near bearings and made sure I had the necessary tools, found a tutorial for replacing a bearing and this morning I set to work. Thank you so much for giving me the confidence to give it a go. I had to buy a pair of circlip pliers and 2 new bearings (always good to have a spare) but for the small sum of £10 I have a good as new Big Shot!
Tania, Mine had quit working a number of years ago and I just pulled it apart thinking if all else fails, I would just get a new one. I didn't have your video to help me so I didn't go as far as disassembling it as you did, but it worked again. But recently it was screeching and jamming so bad I went to look for a "fix it" video and found yours. WOW...thanks for an amazingly simple and straightforward step-by-step. I found an amazing amount of little paper scraps in it. I cleaned it all out and now it almost works like new (it is 11 years old, so wasn't expecting miracles). I've saved your video for next time!
My Big Shot has squeaked loudly for weeks and then just stopped turning altogether a few days ago. Thanks to your tutorial my husband and I were able to pull it apart and discover that the rod that turns the small gear was getting stuck. We added WD40 and grease to the rod and after much turning of the handle and reassembling it's as good as new! Thanks :)
Thank you for creating the video I am going to have my brother watch it and hopefully he can make the adjustment in mine. By chance any thoughts or suggestions on where someone might obtain lost rubber feet?
Great video! Once I took everything apart I still couldn’t get the gears to move and was concerned. We sprayed them well with WD40 and I brushed the grooves with a toothbrush. After a few minutes of repetition the gears moved smoothly. Thanks again for your video.
Imagine being this person who possibly hasn't heard of deltarune seeing all this [[BIG SHOT]], [[$4.99]], [[KROMER]], [[Heartshapedobject]], and [[Hyperlink Blocked]] in the comments section. That must be [[Fifty percent off!]] as [[HEAVEN]]!
