Life expectancy on the 3D printed parts

Has anyone needed to replace any of the 3D printed parts? I was prepping for a new project and noticed one of the feet was splitting in a couple of spots on different layers of the print. I checked the others and saw the same. One had started to become brittle in a small spot and break off.

@Swinly I don’ t know about life expectancy, but I’ve had to replace a few of my printed parts. My LM is one of the original kickstarter machines.

I figured it would be normal maitinance. I got my MK1 in March 2021 and was wondering if it was about that time or if this was a little earlier than expected.

@Swinly I would bet it’s the mileage, not the age. Plus, are they hard miles or easy ones. :grinning:
