Ahh! Broke the X Axis need parts
May 05, 2015 07:07AM
Not sure how it happened, was to tweak my printer last night and found that the X axis servo mount cracked along the portion where the linear bushing is located that rides the linear guide rail and the printer is now useless. Any help on where I might be able to order that part or have it printed would be greatly appreciated. It is a Prusa I3. Thanks in advanced.

That depends where you live?

I´ve seen a few complete plastik part sets on the bay. Some are made from ABS..
Would be nice to hear from the experts, if these were preferable?

You would be amazed what you can do with some super glue and cable ties.
I did something similar with my x-ends on my prusa i2.
I was able to get it fixed enough that i could print a new one.
Give it a try.
