MegaManFan Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 (edited) Hmm. Okay. Seems delicate but perhaps I can manage it, though I'm not sure how I could hot glue it, lift the pins with a knife and snap it into place with only two hands. I feel like a surgeon who needs a nurse to assist. *heh* And of course the $64,000 question is, how do I know the reader isn't manged up anyway? Would I be better waiting for the replacement part from Richard than trying to put the one back on that came off to begin with?

GroovyBee Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Personally I'd wait for the part from Richard and then glue the new version in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, you don't use the hot glue until after you get the socket installed. You would put the hot glue at the base of the plastic socket so that it can't slide off again.

MegaManFan Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 From the sound of it yes but it's being suggested I'm better off using Richard's replacement part just in case the one that came off to begin with is damaged in any way. Since the replacement part has never been used and mine's been used ever since I got the Cuttle Cart II (as I recall I was in the pre-pre-order so I've had this thing for a while now) I'm probably better off using the part that has no wear and tear instead of putting the same one back in there. :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Would it be best practice for those that currently have a CC2 to hot glue the end even without having a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilbaca Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Would it be best practice for those that currently have a CC2 to hot glue the end even without having a problem? Its not a bad idea. I had one snap off myself, and I soldered a new one on. I since then sold it and its still running strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
