I will try them but they haven't sold this model for a few years now, so parts will be unlikely... But it's just a generic Prusa copy so the part should be available somewhere, probably via ebay etc I'd imagine... Just got to work out its correct description.

Catch22, if your printer was operational you could print a replacement.

Apparently it's called an 'extruder idler arm'.. There are a bunch here: https://www.ebay.com.au/b/3D-Printer...=&toolid=10001

Can't see the exact one but it's a place to start.

Thought there'd be a 100 of the things on Thingiverse, as you can't be the only one to have broken one, but no.

It's the bearing that's failed, not the black plastic lever. It's a precision steel part...

Ahh... In that case any decent hobby shop, or perhaps even Jaycar, should have something. Probably the same as those bloody fitbit spinner things.

I am so Jealous of the products you lot turn out.
I have had my 3D printer for 15 months now and I have hardly achieve a thing.
Just don’t seem to be able to get my head around the different setting.
Then I see what you people are achieving.
WOW.

Bit difficult to print dual battery controllers Tim.
