However I do feel he could have achieved the same result a simpler way.
1. Repair the original part in a basic fashion
2. Make a silicon cast of the repaired original part. The original will have been injection molded, so try to use their mold separation lines as a guide for where your separation line should be
3. Spilt out to make a mould
4. Pour in resin to make an very exact replica. The place where the original was broken will be replaced with functional resin
5. De-mold and put in place.
This guy makes his own rubics cube style puzzle via this method and documents it well: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i-HXU4cfvdc https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i-HXU4cfvdc
- mattmanser 10y agoHow is this simpler? Seems a lot more complex to me. In his story he sat down at his computer for a while and did what he needed. A couple of trips to town later it was done. In your story he needs to get a bunch of messy stuff, using tools and processes he has no knowledge of, of which even stage one I don't know where to start. I don't understand how you think that is simpler!
- tezza 10y agoWhat you say has merit. My suggestion is not simpler for everyone. There is a free time - experiment space - messiness tolerance elrequirement that you point out. But if you have free time, have a bit of free space like a shed and can tolerate a bit of mess, then my way could be simpler
