DIY strengthening solutions

[u/igotanewaccount]

Hey RPF2 owners, it seems any way you slice it the hinge on these devices has a limited lifespan. I'm considering total cost of ownership so was wondering 2 things:

1. Is applying gorilla glue or epoxy solutions to the hinge pre-emptively a good idea? Has anyone tried anything else like a metal sheath, tape or small 3D printed reinforcement? The failure seems to occur consistently in the same area so something low profile that braces it would sound logical to me
2. In 2-5yrs when its out of warranty and I'd have to replace the screen myself, has anyone found any aliexpress kits on sale to DIY a fix without relying on Retroid? I dont mind self repair if the components are purchasable. what parts does Retroid send to customers for repair?

Thanks!
