Superglue melts plastics, epoxy is too hard; it can&#8217;t get properly bind to this smooth plastic. I tried hot glue, but that was a total flop, too. It broke right off again after just one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Screw you!<\/strong> Literally. This thing needs to be screwed with a Spax screw. I drilled through the hot glue and the plastic. This was hard to do with a tiny, short drill bit. There is no way to hold the drilling machine in a way that the drill bit can go straight down. It somehow worked. Spax screw in, hot air soldering station to melt that glue again. Now the three things, plastic axis, screw and hot glue are bound together. Working since a few days. Take that, obsolescence idiots!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"744\" height=\"2392\" src=\"https:\/\/kleinessinchen.feralnetworks.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/CF3.jpg\" alt=\"Macro shot.
