I seem to remember seeing something about converting a reelmagik packer to stp packer but I can't find anything when I search. Has anyone done it? I'm still researching ways to make my own custom stp pack and play but curious how to do it to a reelmagik without destroying the shaft.
Getting holes in silicone is really hard, not like working with cyberskin. I saw the guy that I know who works with silicone use long pointed scissors. It won't get you a clean hole, but if you work carefully...

Did you find an answer to this??

You might do a search. I think the guy who did this though had some experience working with silicone. It isn't going to be easy. Silicone is hard to work with it, and unforgiving. If you make an error it is also a more expensive packer.

I searched around and couldn't find an actual instructional video - but I just couldn't sleep anymore and had to act.
I did it! I turned my reelmagik basic packer into an stp.
I have some small kinks to work out but I'm happy for now. :)
Curious how you did this? I think if you did a video it could be in a sticky. Lots of questions on that one.

I saw a tutorial where a guy converted a dildo for use with a vibrator using a spade-shaped drill bit. Clean, round hole...varied sizes...seems like the best option. I used a heated metal skewer to get a slim hole through my RM basic and it's really too narrow to be of much use. It's also a bit rough-looking from the back. I'd go with the drill.

I'll work on one this weekend & post here when it's done.
This is how I turned my Reel Magik Basic Packer into a functional STP!
Materials:
- Packer
- STP of Choice (I used the JetP)
- Scissors
- Tough Paper Towels (lint free preferably)
- Drill
- Spade Drill Bit slightly larger than the size of the hole you wish to make

Prep:I found it helpful to keep the lint free rag wet on one side and dry on the other. Also! If you hate the feeling of supper sticky stuff you might find gloves helpful (although I found that being able to feel everything I was doing was more asserting that I was on the right track). And of course - Trim your nails!

- Place an X on the back of the packer where you are expecting the STP to exit the packer. Highly recommend that you first straighten out the penis shaft of the Reel Magik packer and get comfortable with the feel of it being straight in your palm. (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm6.staticflickr.com%2F5490%2F12535603204_8af15bbda9_q.jpg&hash=7f93cac0eede72856f30ff7cf322e4a0dd480ec1)
- Make sure the drill bit is in place and your drill is fully charged. If your power drill has a low power setting, turn it to the lowest setting in order to make sure you have full control of how fast it goes. Being able to control how fast or slow it drills is imperative.
- Alright! and then the scary part begins - With the packer firmly in the palm of your hand and the fingers wrapped around the shaft, place the drill bit firmly against the x you marked and start drilling slowly. Get a feel for how the Silicone is going to react to the drill. Silicone is stretchy and spongy (especially the RM Packer) and therefore moves and rotates. The trick is to go slow, and hold the packer firmly in the palm of your hand with fingers wrapped around holding the shaft straight.
- Eventually, it feels like you are drilling but not getting anywhere - that means you need to press harder. Terrifying cuz the RM is so expensive - but if you have gotten this far, you probably believe it is worth the risk. As you continue to test faster speeds and different levels of pressure, make sure you take breaks, pull the drill away and inspect the progress.
- In the first inch of the drilling process, when you take a look at the progress, you will begin to see pieces or "chunks" of silicone that are getting loose. Reach in and pull those loose bits of silicone out. The silicone is sticky, so use the paper towel to clean the drill bit, and your fingers.
- As you continue to push the drill further along the shaft, make sure to clear out space as you move along. Use the scissors as necessary. There will be a point where you can no longer easily clear out the space - at this point it's going to be necessary that you begin to turn the packer inside out to continue clearing space and moving forward. Do this carefully so as to not damage the shaft, but it's okay to be forceful. It's scary but I have big hands and I was able to get this part open with out ripping the silicone.(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm8.staticflickr.com%2F7456%2F12535229763_377df5d5ac_n.jpg&hash=4b44133e0b27119b95448b0b85f249e4b128a566)(https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm6.staticflickr.com%2F5507%2F12535228903_caa7fcf953_n.jpg&hash=e9872b648b083c953cc1ccd8777c90c654cab8b8)
- When you turn the packer inside out, hold it between to or three fingers in one hand and simply pull the edges out and over. Then grip the entire shaft and packer wrapped in your palm and fingers as you continue to press move the drill forward.
- Once you get to the head of the penis, turn the penis right side out again and gently run the sharp side of the scissors along the urethra opening of the penis. Try to stay with in the "lines" that allow the opening to appear natural. Continue to run the sharp end along the tip until you have a clear line and cut made into the shaft. Then take the tip of the scissors and press it into the opening you have created until you get to the "channel" you have created with the drill.

use the two fingers holding the shaft inside out to pinch the stp hose at the tip of the urethra opening and begin turning the shaft right side out again while keeping the hose in place with your fingers at the tip.

I chose to try this with the JetP STP method developed by the Tyrone2 prosthetics people - I've decided to move on to another stp bc this is way too complicated. But it will be simple to change the stp I have in my rm packer with another one easily.
Remember to TRIM Your Nails! I didn't and this is what happened to my packer.

This is how I did it guys! I couldn't ignore the dysphoria any longer and this definitely helped. I pack with Jockey Briefs with a horizontal fly. I don't do well with harnesses, they are way too triggering for me. (now I just have to find the right receptacle for me).
