Replicator 2 making strange grinding noise - extruder gear worn out?
Hey 3DP Boards,
After realizing that Makerbot shut down it's group support forums to drive everything through their $100 support ticket system literally 3 hours after I posted... (obviously haven't visited them since they were closed)

Brian Esquivel, yes that's me... (I'm just as weird-ed out by it as you are)...
...I found this forum in hopes of finding help c:
My oldest machine (Primus), who recently got a new friend (Bulbi) (both replicator 2's) is having a grinding issue originating from what I believe is the print head.

I've opened it open and seen major wear on the extruder gear within the print head, and yes, the tension upgrade has been installed on both machines.
A quick stroll through Amazon led me to a listing that is out of stock?
Is this the offending piece of my machine, if so, where can I get another one?
Thanks! c:
