I tried to fix an error and snapped a piece I can replace, but it’d be six hours of work to dismantle the thing and put it back.
Apply a little water to the bendy part to soften it slightly. Add cyanoacrylate glue to the part. Press it to where it needs to go. Apply baking soda. Hold it and wait. Repeat the cyanoacrylate glue and baking soda applications to build up a string joint.
Oh! I should have mentioned, the part is replaceable. I have a spare. Sorry for leaving that part out. Just reed to get someone with working hands to help me out.
I have a replacement though.
I think I’ll have to concede and get a friend with a full suite of working hands and fingers to help me with the teardown. It’s quite demoralizing to see that.
