why did that gear strip in the first place? Simple failure, or is something else binding, causing the teeth to be stressed?
I honestly think that it stripped because it's just a poor design. From what it looks like, every other gear in that system is metal and just after normal use the metal gears are going to tear up that plastic ones. I'm thinking that something just got slightly off one time and then proceeded to get worse from there with time. Everything else looks to be completely in tact. Truly bizarre.
