Hello,

since I'm building with tubes quiet a lot, I developed a good way to break down tube supports. I heard a lot of questions about this, so I thought: "Why not share my method to break down tube supports to you guys?" Enjoy

Wow, that actually works great, last time I broke like 7 grey rods...

[Kevyn230]

That's pretty good. I tried a tube coaster one time (it was a fail) and I bent a few rods while doing it. This will help a lot for other members on this site.

That's basically what I do, too. Breaking a rod is now a very rare case.

I like to take another longish rod and slip it inbetween the rids and pry them out one by one.

I think it's faster than doing this.

Very well done...

I have experience in K'nex Guns and DANG it hurts your fingers trying to take it apart but anyways the point is that I don't have to break my fingers now!!! Oh ya and thanks for the support design. I've never used that design.
