2024-09-11 (W) GrinderCompassMKIII Broken hex drive and a working compass

Last time, I filed down the plug diameter with a razor knife, but I skipped that step and jumped right into spinning the plug inside the case, and it worked for a bit until the stem snapped. This was pure carelessness on my part. Fortunately, I could use the plug from the previous REV, and the stem came out of my bit driver without issue.

I inserted the axle holder into the four shells, and the 1mm model fits the most comfortably. When I installed the elastics, I noticed the best technique was placing a larger piece in the bottom and squishing it down from the top with the plug and a small piece. This meant most of the elasticity and movement was at the bottom, so I should move the feedback bolt to the bottom half where it would see the most play.
