Fermzilla lids threads screwed up

[chazam]

Hey,
Even if I try to be moderate with tightening my balllocks and airlocks to my fermzilla lids, the threads just get messed up easily. Is there some sealing mass I can use to fill the air leaks? I also thought about 3d-printing new threads (did already an .stl) but that's something I wouldn't want to use my time to due to having to use librarys 3d-printer and having to get an ABS-filament.

Are the threads on the lid itself damaged? Not much to do in that case. I have the stainless steel ball lock connections for mine and they don't need much tightening for a good seal. A tiny amount of keg lube on the gasket doesn't hurt. I used the plastic connections for a little while but didn't care for the quality.

Yeap, the threads of the lid.

I'm on my 3rd lid in just over a year. Def a flaw but I live with it. Try not to over tighten and I started using a rubber gasket that fits in a standard garden hoes. They come in 20 packs pretty cheap at Home Depot/Amazon
