Comment on Owners Report Valve’s Priciest Steam Deck Model Has A Cracking Problem
Maalus@lemmy.world 7 months agoIt’s a problem with all plastics. Holes are stress concentrations. With the plastic flowing around it, two plastic “fronts” meet in the middle and need to meld into one piece. That spot is usually around 70 -80% strength in there. Add in the stress riser I mentioned earlier, and cracking happens. Same thing on sharp angles.
