Re: Customizing Q&A Thread

I suggest drilling the screw out. That's what you wil have to do to use an extractor anyway. The screw extractors from CT will not be small enough. It won't be easy but it's the only way to remove it...

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread

Thats a good start. Limit the time in the solution till you know what it will do to the plastic. Iso shouldn't hurt it, but it can make it soft. The clear parts tend to react worse. You may need to...

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread

I find torx bits for the multi screw drivers work really well. I use a vise and push the pin out into a deep 5mm socket. I can take a picture when I get home. It's best to push the pin out the way it...

Then the easiest way I have found to seperate pieces that are glued together is to use a razor blade or sharp knife to cut along the seam/edges that is/are glued. It's really the only way to ensure...

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread

Instead of hacking apart another head to get the piece, why not make one out of styrene/plastic, drill a hole and glue it on? You can get thicker pieces(2mm thick) or layer 3 or 4 thinner pieces. I...

Re: Customizing Q&A Thread
