About those "faulty" arms on Asuga and Kagama

[razorrc]

Yeah I don’t know, I broke both Asuga upper arms, but the new ones I bought have held up fine. I think it’s a bad batch, but obviously Stefan would know more.

Stefan sounds like a lovely man. But he ain't saying anything.

@AnthonyJaques, please could you get a photo of the fracture face of the broken bit please, just the section that I've (badly) circled and arrowed?

Here ya go

I really don't care who owns what or who works in what department. I am an honest person I have no reason other than complete and utter dissatisfaction with the new stuff.

first 5 min it was done

I have many sets of different sizes so I'm going back to the old long arm.the extra asuga arms I have I may try to boil them see if it helps at all

I have 3 builds waiting so I'm not wasting anymore time waiting on corally.Stephen said I'd get a new set. So I guess we will see.

On the initial photo of the fracture, there's a shiny section, which might indicate a lack of fusion between the 2 surfaces, and hence a weak point. Does the fracture face have areas that look different? Can you get a photo of the break across the cross-section?
The break down by the pillow ball thread also doesn't look like a normal break in fibre reinforced polymer, possibly suggesting that the 'surface optical effect' penetrates quite a way into the bulk of the material, knocking down the material strength by quite a margin.
