So I attempted to reinforce the inner part of the shell with hot glue however I found myself eventually carving down the amount of glue once I was ready to reassemble the top shell due to the plastic "sleeves" that circle around the motors. Beforehand I had applied some blue thread locker to hopefully ensure that I did not loose any of the motor mounting screws due to vibration. After having to remove the screws once due to the over thickness of the glue, I found that the blue thread locker had gotten on the inner rim of the plastic inlet of which the motor sits. At first I thought nothing of it, however after trying to wipe it off and it sitting for a few hours, I noticed that the mounts had become brittle and literally fell apart when attempting to secure the screws to hold the motor on. The end result was a hole without a mount for the motor.
So my question is, do you really need to use a form of thread locker on these machines? If so, what do you guys recommend? Also, is there a way to strengthen the shell at the motor points that actually works? I've heard the motor mount protection pieces that mount on the outside just mask the real damage underneath.
Thanks for any advice.
