Gluing tips for NX-10 (also applicable for XE70, XE100)
Place a small amount of superglue (Loctite) onto the steep tip holder
superglue

Make sure the rear end of the tip is located next to the small round indents in the steel tip base and is not tilted

Too much glue on one side, the tip is tilted now
Use a second set of tweezers to press the tip down while the 1st set is holding it in place, this way the glue will be more evenly distributed under the tip

Generally, this is how it should look like:

Unfortunately, the NX-10 PSD is very sensitive to tip position and it seems the best position to glue chips with multiple tips is to have the tip of interest (with a sphere, for example) in the middle of the steel plate
