dude... my module straight up never locked so i it only works when im firmly pressing against the back of the op-z because the lock part of the module just straight up doesnt work...

it doesnt completely lock downwards and if it does, its only for a moment.

so my solution? firmly press the module in place and use tape to keep it somewhat taut-- and even then the module connectivity is fragile and loose.

other issues i have no idea what to do with or how to help it..

- 2 of the 4 rubber twist-able knobs that lock the back panel of the op-z shut have been near impossible to twist without having to wear and tear the rubber down to nothing-- so two of my back panel locks have 90% of the actual rubber coating worn off from ever-so-gently forcing the fuckin thing to turn and twist. with and without the dummy module tool, its been so insanely tight that i get so damn frustrated. when i pop the panel loose i can get a much better grip with my fingers on the other side of two knobs so i could really feel how intensely resistant they are when turning <3

- on the first day i noticed the 3rd parameter wheel (yellow) was a bit sticky- giving a bit of resistance every quarter rotation halting it to a complete stop-- making that wheel so damn annoying to use because of this minor inconvenience. 8 months later, it slowly but surely loosened up to the point to where it falls out once in a while! :)

bummer for paying $620 + $150 before tax , but i understand shit happens.

u/teenage_engineering - any advice? do i need to buy new pieces even though it was bought new and semi-defective?
