I would really like to thank you for sharing this it worked for my RC car Caster Block which snapped into half after I collided with a stem of a dense bush. I did exactly what you performed there in the video and tested it out again to check for it’s durability, It holds on Super tight. Once again thank you... this vid allowed me to save my cash and at the same time, get my car back running
done that before a few years ago took some time untill i figured out to melt and spread the part like that :P Its nice to see others doing the same and instruction videos for it.
The epoxy is known for the hardest glue , but these kinds of heavy duty could not do it as it should do. So, I will try your way for the part for a blender . Let's see what will happen. Thanks for the information
I have a harbor freight milling machine and had the same problem with broken plastic gears. I found replacement metal gears on ebay and installed them. So, after five years the machine is working fine with the metal gears. I looked on ebay today and didn't find anybody selling the gears. I don't know where you could find them at this point. My opinion about why they put in plastic gears is that it was a cheap machine and they put in cheap gears.
Sometimes they're there for cheapness (in which case there's a bunch of them for sheer cheapness) sometimes they're intentionalany made to shear or break to protect expensive complex geartrains (in this case there will be very few strategically placed plastic gears)
Thanks for sharing this.🤠

You can also melt nylon rope into it to fill the break. Very strong
Great idea!

Nice
But I lost the broken part
How should i fix?
very good video. please where can i buy good quality plastic gears? i will appreciate any links or suggestions.
Cool, any idea what you did to cause it to break?
Not being properly lubricated in the first place... then usually a jammed gear that is then forced open causing a single tooth or more to break.
Not bad
Wash it fully with detergent and apply steel epoxy.
I don’t think you can use that expoxy on plastic
Can you fix a gear tooth like this?
Change over to belt drive
what about inhaling fumes produced by the contact of hot iron and the plastic, i prefer to clean the broken parts and join them with clear epoxy resin
Did your wife and model this....or those your long nails?
