 The plastic rod that attaches parts of solar panel arm has been my most common failure point. I haven't managed to solidly glue it back together. I'm thinking about drilling it out and replacing with a similar size threaded metal rod. What do you think? Thanks Wallace |

Wallace,
Good idea. Was your unit one of ours? If you print your own you need to specify the fill at > 85% but they are still brittle to some degreee.

We print these at 85% fill. You might want to go to 100% as you are tough on them!

 I destroyed other half drilling it out. I haven't found proper threaded rod to replace. BP any chance y'all have a couple extra? Thanks Wallace |

Wallace,
We really don't. Do you have a 3D Printer?

Wallace,
If you do not have a 3D printer, I will print up a couple for you.
If interested - send me a private message.
