That sounds a bit outside of my skill range - thank you though!

Noted, thanks though!


No calipers, but I have random bits and bobs lying around that I can just trial and error until something fits. Thanks!


A few people have recommended acetone now. I originally ruled it out due to the wire running through one of the hollows (not wanting to damage the insulation) but I’m thinking I might try adhesive on the piece with the wire and acetone on the other. Thanks!


I didn’t think of mixing glues, nor have I heard of the alcohol spritzer thing - I might give it a go. Thanks!


I don’t own one and I’m terrible at the game Operation. In more skilled hands perhaps it’s possible but I think I would just mess it up - thanks though!


I am but a poor student so I’ll try and repair it first, but it’s good to know there’s parts out there if absolutely necessary - thanks!


This looks like Loc-Tite’s version of the JB Weld Plasticweld. If I can’t find any JB then I’ll give this a go, thanks!


Somebody suggested wooden dowels so I’ll probably try that just because I have scrap wood lying about anyway and it’s easy to carve into shape. Thanks!


Solarpunkglue. Hmm…


I didn’t even know there was such a thing. Buying a UV lamp for a single repair when other options are available feels a bit antithetical to the Solarpunk ethos though, so I think I’ll try normal glues first. But hey, if all else fails, at least I know there’s a nuclear option as plan b. Thanks!


There’s a wire running through one of the plastic pieces so I think acetone is probably a no-go because of the insulation. I’ll keep that tip in mind for future repairs though that don’t have that difficulty, thanks!


Bookmarked! Thank you


Like the layering glue and tissue paper idea, I’ve never heard of this but a quick search shows you’re not speaking gibberish. I’ll remember that one for future repairs, thanks!


Awful things?.. Dare I ask?
I’ll definitely try reinforcing with a dowel or metal rod though, thanks!


Great idea! I’ll give that a go, thanks. Reinforcement rods, adhesive, and thread wrap around the outside should surely be enough


Unfortunately there’s a wire running through one of the broken pieces so melting is probably a no-go because I don’t want to melt the insulation. Thank you though!


Oh I’ve never heard of that method before! I’ll keep it in my back pocket as a last resort if all else fails, thank you


Unfortunately there’s a wire running through one of the broken pieces so heat is probably a no-go because I don’t want to melt the insulation. Thank you though!
In 3 days you’ve not had a single upvote, downvote, or comment. That seems highly unusual. Perhaps try posting the question again?
