Stripped Screw/core

[Hargun02]

In my Qiyi Qiming Pyraminx, A whole axis comes out whenever I go over 4 TPS, Its causing many problems and I have a competition upcoming in 3 days.
And please don't link me to a cubicle hardware page, can't order from there.
Thanks

Put a drop or two of super glue into the screw hole (using a pin or needle). Use a dab of Vaseline to stop the shaft sticking to the core. Make sure it's adjusted how you want because later it may not be possible. Not a perfect solution but a quick one. Won't work if the stripping is very bad.

Where should I put the vaseline then?

When you put the screw in and do it up a small amount of glue is likely to ooze out potentially gluing the core to the shaft of the 3x3 middle. So put a tiny amount of vaseline around the screw hole (on the flat top) immediately after putting in the glue. This helps to stop these pieces bonding which obviously you don't want. It might still stick but it should be weak enough to break free by turning. Be careful because you need just the right amount of glue and vaseline to stick the screw securely but not the 3x3 middle to the core.
I can't guarantee it will work but I often do it on my large puzzles when there's a danger of screws coming loose and having no way to tighten them after construction.

Will this work for the moyu magnetic pyraminx?

So I basically permanently glue my screw to the core?

Yes, it sounded like you needed a quick solution for an upcoming competition. If not you can look into replacing the core.

But if I glue it then the center piece would never come off
