Zelex 171C repair broken "back"
Zelex 171C repair broken "back"
a short time after my doll found her way home to me, something broke in her back or maybe snapped out.
It's located in the middle of her body, I can hear some "clonk" while moving her and she has no stability anymore there.
Zelex send me a replacement body and so I thinking about to check what happend.
I guess I have to cut in her back for it (and that hurts ^^).
Anyone already done a simular "OP", or do you have suggestions or tips?
Is it worth a try?

I had your exact issue a couple of years ago.artax wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 10:55 am Hi,

What's most likely is that the spine has broken off the hip bar at the weld. At least, that was what happened here.
It's fixable, sort of, but honestly, what you'll have to go through to fix it is really not worth it. I ended up junking mine. Zelex sent a replacement body and that one is still going strong.

Go go repair section you will find answers.
I plan to operate one of these days but I think it will turn into a nightmare. Even with best results she will have strange and large scarfs, that means she will have to get dressed everyday...

Re: Zelex 171C repair broken "back"
A broken back can be fixed but ,as you have been said , it is a hard work : drill , nuts , screws , ....and it will leave scars on your doll ( TPE is easer to be fixed , silicone needs special attentions) . Good luck and have a look at maintenance forum to have an idea of where and what you have to do .
