Are you sure it's made of nylon?

Re: My DS Mini Also Has Broken Back
Other half of the new joint looked different and seemed like it could be nylon (can't remember how old one looked inside the doll) but as I touched them with q-tip dipped in "plastic weld" liquid, surface turned sticky so definately both plastic. Solvents wouldn't melt nylon as I handle nylon and acetone at work quite often.LoneRanger wrote:No I am not sure, I thought I read were Dark said it was nylon. I will have the new part tomorrow.

I think people are getting a bit mixed up as someone suggested that these doll joints should have been made of nylon not that they actually are nylon.Pumpster wrote:Other half of the new joint looked different and seemed like it could be nylon (can't remember how old one looked inside the doll) but as I touched them with q-tip dipped in "plastic weld" liquid, surface turned sticky so definately both plastic.

I just compared what was left of the old spine joint I removed from my Eve to the new joint and the material appears to be the same apart from having the pin inside it.
What I do think is that it's possibly the worst kind of plastic that can be used for such a joint and I just wish we still had the old CNC and milling machines at work as I could have easily knocked up a few spine joints in aluminium for my girls.

Re: My DS Mini Also Has Broken Back
I am very tempted to reproduce the spine joint in brass or stainless for my doll when I get my replacement to measure from if the plastic has not changed.mahoro wrote:I think people are getting a bit mixed up as someone suggested that these doll joints should have been made of nylon not that they actually are nylon.Pumpster wrote:Other half of the new joint looked different and seemed like it could be nylon (can't remember how old one looked inside the doll) but as I touched them with q-tip dipped in "plastic weld" liquid, surface turned sticky so definately both plastic.
