Ah, but you were asking for parts we want not fudges we can achieve! I want

I can make 7U axles as well!

This is any easy one, the only tool you need is a pair of little electronics

This enables them to be pressed right through a full width technic beam with
1/2 L sticking out each side. I do this all the time now that 1/2 width
parts are so common place.
