There is the sound of like ice breaking slowly followed by an excessive amount of cursing.

Did you by chance clean it with windex or a baby wipe or similar? Something reacted with the plastic. Smacking it with a hammer or hurling it into the ground would generate several large fractures...not the safety glass like pattern you have.

I would maybe agree that you have a part with a massive excess of the UV stabilizer but again...wow that's just an assload of cracking...it looks like Piper Haliwell waved her hands at it.



Or in clear plastic ones =)

I am considering machining a version of the delrin T3 designed to be only a single loop part and optimizing performance for said single loop. I just can't see anyone buying a version like that over the parallel loop version. The reality is that the single loop performance is still better then a stock D5 and even if your not using parallel loops now, having the ability to add them and the extra performance potential down the road is smarter.

I am going to try to squeeze a little more single loop performance out of the dual version as thats the real answer I guess.
No, I Didn't clean it with anything. I know about acrylics and alcohol from when I first started watercooling my PC. I think I would have done such a thing it would crack both sides I think...:P It was still crazy whne I saw it though...
