technically polycarb doesnt break..
it shears and will fracture if you have a square inside cut..
it weakens at the corner and if slammed by something will break...
BUT..if you round the corners it is VERY strong...almost impossible to break..
it on;ly breaks when you didnt design your part to be made out of lexan (sharp corners inside corners tight angle cuts etc)
and im pretty sure lexan is a diff product entirely..
slightly diff physical prperties i know for a fact..
be sure to use polycarb tho...lexans not on add hardware ;-)
