    Help finding replacement part - before boss finds out its broken -

    Hi all

    I broke the blue rings that are on the ends of the filament guide tubes on the printer of my office.
    (please see photo).
    I am trying to find replacement ones so i can change the broken ones for some new ones before the boss finds out.
    Anyone can send me a link or tell me where to find them?
    Preferably from an European store or from ebay....

    why not just print new ones ? Looks like a simple cylinder.
    And a bigger picture would help :-)

    super glue and pretend nothings wrong - then when they break again - it wasn't you :-)

    You do know you can't copy your buttocks by sitting on a 3d printer, right ?

    I presume you are referring to the release sleeve on one of the pneumatic fittings, you will have to replace the entire fitting for that.
    You need to check the size and order something like this: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...tting&_sacat=0

    And no monkeying with the printer from now on.
