That works surprisingly similarly to switch tracks in real life. Also, it would not be in any way less expensive but it would probably save time, or at least the Lego company's time, to send those over to a metal worker and get a few of that piece made out of metal…
Am train driver. Can confirm (automatic) switching points break all the time.
remove the support for the switch
Less plastic
For the love of God please use the back side of the measurement tool
Acetone and some abs shavings will solvent weld them together
Would lubrication help with longevity?
We need to talk about the genocide in Palestine man
Lego will learn from you
Lego technic bricks. Mechanically mount the lever somewhere else. Or add servo motors and an electric control panel.
My resin could keep it in place
Why is printing a metal replica not an option?
Back in the time Lego had Switches that were remote controlled. They never broke.
I hope the broken parts and pieces are sent back into factory for reuse
You gotta try the steel fanmade (unofficial) track switch
This could be solved EAISLY of they just made that little nub a bit thicker, like 1mm thicker and it wouldnt break as easy
Could you connect a technic brick to the toggle part?
Try nail glue it dries very quickly and it's inexpensive 😊
Maybe Lego should improve the switch, so we don't need to keep buying pricey replacements
Acetone my guy. If it doesn't have to come apart at some later point. Or maybe try Loctite 480.
