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 :saluting_face:

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!

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 :joy:

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
