Today i performed destructive durability test of the dodecagon symmetry peek.
I was always wondering about the limits of the PEEK material.
So, with the spare B grade parts, I performed a simple durability test.
This is the test footage
i used a regular metal hammer (the type used for driving nail).
for the floor protection, I used a thick piece of wood.
I am not sure if you can tell the amount of force used.
but I hit it pretty damn hard.
once I lost grip, and the pieces flew 10M and stopped by a wall.
*** Round Peek is stronger than Dodecagon PEEK.
By design round shape is stronger than angled shape.
If you draw Dodecagon inside a circle,
the empty areas are material removed from original circle,
so round is stronger than angled.

when the pen was hit with a metal hammer, it transferred force to the wooden block.
you can roughly tell, how much force was used.
PEEK is elastic and springly, so it absorbed a lot of force.
but it still managed to transfer much force to the wood.
the broken pieces flew all over the place,
this is all I found at this moment.
these are sharp, dangerous pieces, so I should search for them throughly.
