	'''Apogeum M8''' (also known as ~~The~~ Lego Mod) is a bolt-tipped mod ~~made~~ by Polish [[PPP]]-based spinner ~~[[Mervo]] in 2024~~. ~~The mod~~ is the ~~6th~~ iteration ~~since the original~~ in 2019.		'''Apogeum M8''' (also known as the Lego Mod) is a bolt-tipped mod created in 2024 by [[Mervo]], a Polish [[PPP]]-based spinner. It is the sixth iteration of a design first created in 2019.
	The mod is extremely cheap to make since it uses parts sourced from Temu, excluding the [[Giotto Turbo Maxi\|Giotto Turbo Maxi ]]. It also uses bolts as tips. The cost of the mod is ~4€; the price could vary depending on the price of the [[Giotto Turbo Maxi\|Giotto Turbo Maxi]].

	The ~~mod’s~~ construction is ~~very simple~~, but ~~it requires a~~ circular file ~~in order to make the parts fit each other easier~~. ~~Also, using boiling~~ water to stretch ~~out~~ the grips so they ~~can~~ fit the ~~"cap" is recommended. And it is also strongly advised to use~~ a pipe cutter for ~~proper~~ cuts on the body.		Most of the mod’s parts are sourced from Temu, excluding the [[Giotto Turbo Maxi\|Giotto Turbo Maxi]] components. The mod uses bolts as tips and costs approximately €4 to make, although the final price may vary depending on the cost of the Giotto Turbo Maxi parts.

			The construction is straightforward, but some parts may need to be adjusted to fit together. A circular file may be needed for this. Boiling water can be used to stretch the grips so that they fit the “cap,” and a pipe cutter is strongly recommended for clean cuts to the body.
