Thread: Dovo scale broke!

TC- I will snap some as soon as I get her out for spring I'm ashamed to say I have none at the moment. Lost them all when I switched phones.

The only thing I can think is the washers were hot when the scales were put on. I'm not sure why the washers would be hot enough to burn plastic unless they has some burring on them and were sanded and put in place straight away. If the washers were cast in place the plastic wouldn't be showing signs of burning, and the washer setting would be smooth.

It would also explain why the pin won't budge since the plastic would have melted to the pin as well. Through conduction from the washers.

The heat might of made the plastic brittle at that location. It would explain the failure in the first place. It's certainly not a user fault.
