    Hi guys thanks for your help, it is highly appreciated. These are enclosures of a HHD and its is (not in storage nor in the field) not subjected to any temp extremes.

    There are no knit lines in the parts nor in the mold flow simulation. The device successfully performed drop test when it was initially released 2 years ago.

    Cracking in PC/ABS (Chi Mei PC540) injection molded parts

    Should the enclose be able to deal with 0.2 mm gap, usually when you design plastic enclosures you keep a gap of 0.2mm in advance. I did not found any residue / solvents on the part or in the process. Is there a test (environmental possibly) that can simulate cracking? Is there a test which...
