Please see attached picture.
Not sure why it crack. It seems that the crack start at internal slotting area.
It does not crack when we receive the part, but after a while, it break into two pieces.
1. This might due to the stress concentration at one point?
2. I assume that: When the bottom surface of the machine part is not flat to the ground (let say flatness is about .012", bow in one direction) , when install it to the base, due to the strain it start cracking. I think Ultem is kind of brittle after looking at the cross sectional view.
What do you guys think?
