Looks difficult 😳 Mine was way to expensive to risk breaking the whole thing 😅

[@LukesLiife]

I felt confident to do it, and would only recommend trying if you are too 🙌🏻👾

@@meloclawz61 ok I was gonna say I would never drop mine BUT SAME LIKE A WEEK AFTER I SAW THIS 🤯

[@Abigail_productions]

@@LukesLiifeyo can actually just us a suction cup to get the face plate off…

[@dianaulait]

okay this is genius bc i saw another tutorial use an EXTREMELY sharp tweezer and it scared the begeezus out of me! this thing gets scratched up so easily

[@LukesLiife]

I think i saw the same video and thought the exact thing 😳 The glue stick hack was really easy to be fair, just make sure to heat it for literally 1 or 2 seconds 🙌🏻👾

[@helenaxxxx5015]

I did the tweezer hack thing. My tama is scratched up on the sides but not so much the screen itself. The watch band covers it up nicely. Just don't get water in it.... That's worse than the scratches

[@tropibomb6470]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I can’t wait to grabe mine and customize it 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

Woohoo! Let me know how you get on 🙌🏻👾

[@jduran0509]

Can you make a slower video on how you heat the glue, place the glue gun and how you pull up the screw caps?? Or explain a bit further for newbies like me! Thanks!

[@LukesLiife]

I will try and film another video later this week 👾

[@steviefpv]

Just heat the glue up with a lighter you don’t even need a glue gun. Or do the easy way and masking tape the screen then pull of quick like a plaster and the front clear piece comes off. KZbin it.

[@NEVERKNOWSBE5T]

This is a better method than what I did which was putting a safety pin under the middle button and pulled it up enough to get a metal nail file under and unclipping it which worked but wasn't ideal considering I broke clips on both my unis faceplates but hey it worked at the time lol. I also ordered for tinytigerink for my faceplates, the packaging is so cute and I love the designs. Edit: when I say my clips broke the plastic screen still fits on and doesn't come loose I just noticed a little plastic bit came off when pushing it back into place

[@LukesLiife]

omg i was nervous just reading that comment, safety pins, nail file haha sounds like a proper operation hahah! I'm glad they are both ok :) Which design did you go for? her designs are so lovely 🤗

[@maryannmoncera3525]

Thanks so much for this! I've been looking around for a video on how to change the Uni faceplate. Very helpful. 😊

[@LukesLiife]

Glad it was helpful! I was searching too so decided to film my own in the end 🙌🏻👾

[@takumi.toyland]

Thanks mate.. thought of repainting the front part of the uni too

[@LukesLiife]

That's such a good idea! What colour are you thinking?

[@takumi.toyland]

@@LukesLiife sky or dark blue, black or lime green..

[@Virtual_Geist]

Thanks for the video this is super helpful!

[@LukesLiife]

Glad to hear it! Did you manage to change your faceplate? 👾

[@Virtual_Geist]

@@LukesLiife not yet my plan is to buy a 3rd one to just mod with since I want to customize one in a weird way lol.

[@0Cherish0]

Ppl pls be careful opening up your tama as it's often not as easy as it may appear on social media. Some ppl have experience or just happen to be good at this sorta thing but doesn't necessarly mean it's easy for other ppl. Think twice before altering your expensive lil tama friend!

[@LukesLiife]

Like i mention in the video, you need to be careful as it could lead to damaging your device.

[@Incantrixy]

Thankyou, i cant wait to get mine 🎉

[@LukesLiife]

Yaaay! What design did you go for? 🙌🏻👾

@@LukesLiife i got purple, i am going cute gothic for my uni XD

[@kingcrono7801]

Custom Shells When? This looks like something that could easily be swapped out using this method.

[@sunniiai]

u can paint or spraypaint the shells while they are not connected to the electronics! i havent seen someone paint the back transparent shell but i dont see any harm in doing that :)

[@PixiestarRoblox]

You can actually easily get the plastic bit covering the face plate of with a suction cup 😂

[@LukesLiife]

Oh really? Send me a tutorial if you have one 👽

Where to get the pics to put in?

[@LaurelinB]

Doesn‘t the screwcaps melt if you press down the gluegun stick on it?

[@LukesLiife]

It shouldn’t no, I only melted the glue stick enough to be tacky, enough so it covers the screw cap and makes a good seal 🙌🏻👾

[@8mtmo]

Hi. I was able to disassemble smoothly by referring to this video. However, I don't know how to remove the last front panel and skin sheet. It's hard and hard to remove, but won't it get scratched even if I use force? I would be happy if you could tell me! thank you.

[@LukesLiife]

Hi, the screen should just pop out from the back, which will the allow you access to remove the faceplate 👾

[@8mtmo]

@@LukesLiife thx!

[@Sakura.2514]

I’m sorry but I’m not gonna do this to my uni. I would love to change the faceplate but it’s not worth the risk of damage. I saw someone’s Reddit post that they had damaged their uni trying to change the faceplate. Omg scary. Not for me. Looks cool though.

[@LukesLiife]

Yeah i would only recommend doing it if you feel confident 👾

[@PinkBinx]

For why the hot glue ? It don’t burn the plastic?

[@LukesLiife]

No, the temp of the melted glue is much lower then what would melt plastic 👾

[@minecraft333girl]

is there a way to do it by removing the front piece instead?

[@mathilde7574]

Yes! I was also scared about taking everything down and saw someone on insta live doing something a bit more simple! You can use the same technique of heating the tip of a glue stick but put it on the faceplate, a bit on the bottom to take out the plugs from the bottom part out first. Once it’s cold you can just gently pull it off of the tamagotchi, switch the paper and pop it right back in! Just put the top part first and then press around the buttons!

[@LukesLiife]

I don't think there is 👾

[@TheMonkeymove]

My faceplate is a little wonky. Could it be that it's not properly screwed in? I haven't looked into it yet

[@LukesLiife]

I think everyone's original faceplate is wonky. . .defo something up with the manufacturing 👾

[@abbexx4283]

Can u do the card method like on the pix?

[@LukesLiife]

Hey thank you for watching! At the moment i haven't seen or worked out a safe way to remove using a card :(

[@richardkim1981]

Careful sometimes the hot glue can melt the tamagotchi plastic

[@LukesLiife]

Glue and plastic have different melting points so this is unlikely to happen 👾

[@malloryminx]

how thick can the piece of paper be? i have some card stock that i would like to use!

[@LukesLiife]

I would recommend thin / regular paper thickness 👾

[@copycatkiller556]

on a scale from 1 -10, how safe is this? (10 safest) just wanna change my faceplate so much cause i dont like the color combo but im scared of damaging my tama 😭

I would only recommend attempting to change the faceplate if you, A, have the right tools, and B are confident enough 👾
