From skilled designers to enthusiasts, a lot of us adore Figma figures. One frequent problem you might encounter is damaged joints. The great news is, there’s no reason to worry – repairing broken Figma joints is simpler than you may expect.
What you will need:
- Broken Figma figure
- Super glue
- Pin vice drill
- Brass rod
Step 1: Prepare the Joint
The first step is to prepare the joint. Remove any excess plastic that might hinder the repair process. Be careful not to damage any other part of the figure.
Step 2: Drill a Hole
The next step is to drill a hole in the center of both broken pieces. You can do this by using a pin vice drill . Make sure that the hole matches the size of the brass rod you’re using. The brass rod will act as a reinforcement for the broken part.
Step 3: Insert the Brass Rod
Once the holes are drilled, it’s time to insert the brass rod. You can use super glue to secure it. Make sure it’s firmly secured in one of the broken parts.
Step 4: Rejoin the Broken Pieces
Now, the final step is to rejoin the broken pieces. Apply super glue on the remaining part and join it with the part that has the brass rod. Hold the parts together until the glue dries. Ensure that the joint can bend without any issues.
Here’s a snippet of the procedure:
Prepare the joint > Drill a hole in the center of both broken pieces > Insert and secure brass rod into one part > Apply super glue on the other part > Join both parts together > Allow glue to dry.
