ok so I dropped my blue yeti and now the mic mesh is just deformed. luckily the audio isnt messed up but i tried to take off the mic mesh but just couldnt, I tried watching videos on people taking it off but all ive seen so far are asmr videos or taking everything apart, so is there a way to just take the mic mesh off without messing other things up?

Tip of the trade.
Take the mesh off most microphones the mesh is screwed on.
Use the handle of a screw drive to press the mesh back into shame. Use a large handled screw driver not a precision one.

God no, never do this, the mesh is almost never screwed on unless you're talking about a handheld dynamic mic, when you're talking about USB or studio mics it is almost never screwed on.

You linked the way to dismantle the microphone. Its held in with 4 screws. You remove screws by screwing.

My point still stands that the base of a rounded screwdriver handle. Possible the one you use to dismantle this microphone is common practice to reshape the mesh.
