The repair may not look good but it may be stronger than a printed part which has defined weaknesses between each layer. The original part is a strong homogenous plastic part and still breaks.
I would not want to make a part, sell it and then find it is weaker than a properly repaired part.
Just my 2 cents.
Agreed
I repaired one initially with JB Weld but that had a short shelf life
the second repair was with carbon fibre and resin.
all good for over a year
a lot less than $100
