Esper Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 The charger cap snapped from repeated use a couple months back and I had a local friend print me a couple. They were a little small and I really had to squeeze them on there to stay. The first one popped off last week. The second one, it wasn't printed that well, and fell apart when I tried taking it off a few days ago. Right now I'm using a little plastic wrap with a rubber band. Does anyone have any suggestions on other ways I can cover the charger port that's removable? I was considering a plastic/rubber PVC Pipe.

I think I'll try that one unless you have a reason I should stay away from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a metal cap with the Firewheel, no issues there, looks like it's similar (rubber inside the cap to prevent short circuits). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
