Extruder temperature looks like it is also a tad too high.... Infill on the forward piece you can set fairly low at 15%, its not load or stress bearing part, will print a lot faster. The LAA Aft piece is a thin Shell model; it has no interior thickness (i.e its not "watertight"), so printed as the stl is it could probably be crushed by hand and is not optimised for 3D printing only CNC machining. Not surprised at all to hear its breaking in the field.

I decided to build a Voron and use ABS so very much have gone into the deep end head first ;) These ones Ive printed will go out to Mike Harris who I hope will provide some feedback.

PETG is probably going to get better results once you get the hang of it all, and PLA can be rock solid and robust also.... don't buy budget filament, it will drive you insane with frustration.
