Wades block snapped, help!

I thought something didn't sound right, see pic attached. I hadn't printed a spare of this as I hadn't anticipated it snapping.

Can anyone UK based print me one and I'll pay you for it + postage? Or if anyone happens to be near North London NW2 I could pick it up.

Nophead (Chris) will print and send you a spare, Just send him an email. I believe he is located somewhere in the UK.

You may be able to do a tepery bodge to get it going long enuf to print a new one. Get some acetone (available from hardware shops that sell paint) and in a glass or metal jar/pot desolve some white/natural ABS (old faild prints work well) until you have a thick gunk. Then spread some on the joint to glue them back to gether. You can also build up some of the ABS cement around the outsides of the joint to build up more material to try to make it stronger. You should do this in a well venterlated room as its nasty stuff. That plus's a bit of wire raped round the block to take the strain may just keep you going long snuff to print the new one.

Standard 2 part epoxy should fix it ok.

Before I printed a replacement (and another as spare) I repaired my original Wade's block with Super Glue (Cyanoacrylate). This works well for the ABS parts that nophead produces.
