Title: Plastic corner covers broken
Post by: Hey Voss on October 05, 2017, 02:24:16 PM
Has anyone else had an issue with the plastic corners covers cracking and breaking off? Both covers on either side of the door have cracked. The metal is quite sharp and I worry it will rip the tent when folded up. I currently have pieces of cardboard covering the metal, to protect the tent while in storage. This is only a temporary fix and I would like to find a permanent solution.

I still have the broken pieces and have tried to glue them back on, to no avail. Has anyone figured out a better solution? The plastic seems so brittle, and I'm concerned that if I replace those parts they will just crack again. Ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Try these.
They look like a better fit than original

It's a perfect excuse to buy a 3d printer and print up your own corner covers!

My public library has one you can use. They charge you per gram and time to print I think

Thank you for this suggestion! Perhaps with something like this and the right epoxy, I'll have a more permanent solution.

Wow! Your library has a 3d printer!?! That's amazing! If our public library had one, I'd be there all the time.
