They are rare as chickens teeth. PM Treak, he may be able to help.

Where can we purchase "Chickens Teeth" ??
I want some for my Special Tooth Collection ! ;)

Or should I just 3D-print Some instead ??

Send a private message (PM) to Treak (use the search facility to find him, he is a member on here). He does a lot with breaking / mending Stratasys printers and he may be able to point you in the right direction.

Be prepared to pay lots for it as they are very rare and you will not find a new one except from Stratasys.

It is possible to make a new one, they are just normal engineering, nothing magic in there.

I do this for my printer too. Much to make it yourself. Then you can customize it to fit your specific needs.

Hey guys,
thanks for the replies. Thats what I thought. I have already a copy in 3d cad. I struggle only a little bit with the tubes. It is not easy to get them here in Germany with this dimensions.

There is a guy that sells 30cm lengths of stainless tubing on ebay. The problem is that it is diabolical to bend. I ended up doing a similar thing with brass tubing that is available from model shops and fitted stainless nozzles that you can buy for small air brushes.

As I wasn't sure what size tube I needed I emailed the guy, sent him £10 and he sent me about 10 different bundles with 5 or so tubes in each. Very useful they have been to, made all sorts of things out of them since I got them. :)
