@mekkaokereke @tehstu @Rycaut @dusk @clive @hazelnot @teadrinker my kitchenaid actually broke when trying to knead a bread lump that was a little too big orz
anyway the internals are designed so that among all the steel there's a single nylon sprocket; this is the piece that breaks before any of the steel comes close to failing and you can replace it for like six bucks and 20 minutes with a screwdriver
thanks kitchenaid engineers
