true that is a good chunk of plastic. very intereting
Also the stock axle is like 7.12 grams and the druid guts only weigh 5.37 grams
welp being sick i haven’t had much energy to throw, so instead i decided to attempt my first butterfly cap swap. @Raindog3030
meant to ask, i destroyed the glowfly in the process because the axel was stuck in one half and i pretty much tore up the axel with pliers, so i just got impatient and smacked it with a rubber mallet to break it. i was getting a new glowfly soon anyway so i didn’t care, but in the future, it’s there a method for getting it unstuck without rubber mallets getting involved?
It is unusual for one half to be so tight. I’m usually able to extract an axle fairly painlessly with a vice grip.
I usually just grab the axle with groove lock pliers then wriggle the plastic half back and forth very slightly until it rocks itself out. Slow and steady is key.
I wrapped the axle with cardboard/craft paper to protect it, then applied vice grips sideways… then more parachord
Looks great, hope you get well soon!
Get better dude! There’s some nasty stuff going around. I’ve been munching vitamin c, zinc, and elderberry gummies. It’s working wonders for my immune system. Highly recommend!
RIP little Glowfly
Glow cap on purple is SO nice!
Omg I need one of those
Time to buy a glow
Purple/glow goes so hard. It pains me that purple is a rainforest exclusive.
I got a purple and a glow but I don’t know how to cap swap. If you do, I’ll send you both today when I ship your package, and keep whichever and send the other back
I haven’t successfully done it yet. I was just going to look at sleepers butterfly mod thread when it came time
Just let me know if you are willing to try and I’ll toss em both in there. If you fail miserably, no biggie
I only got it to get over the free shipping limit, but I agree. It’s the first time I used them in many months, I have been looking for alternative venders elsewhere for pretty much everything
Worth it lol
I can’t disagree. Dat’s hott!!!
it’s easier than you think it will be. even without paracord you can pull the parts apart. just dont hulk out on it. strong but delicate
