Please can someone 3D print this tiny part?

Hi Everyone,

Can someone 3D print this tiny part?

Hopefully it’s the last broken part on my 3D printer before I calibrate and use for the first time.

Thanks for any assistance

I try to print them this evening while I’m in the space if you want.

Amazing thanks.
it’s just the one. They’re both the same just different file types.
I’ve got man-flu and I probably shouldn’t spread it around.
can you leave it taped to the 2 pieces of ply underneath the 3d printer desk (on the left) with my name on it. Hopefully it’s still there?

Your belt tensioner is now printed (that tiny black thing next to the broken blue thingy) and waiting for collection from the happy 3d printing booth at the South London Maker Space :wink:

Wow!

You’re a star :smile:

I’m starting to owe too many beers (or alternative)

Now I have the apparently lengthy and technical task of calibration.

Is there any software that would give basic instructions and move the hotend and bed around to check/enable calibration? If not, there should be. I could help design it if there’s any programmers here?

No worries, for the beer you are lucky Canopy is so close :wink:

For the initial calibration I use http://www.pronterface.com/ This software will allow you to connect and send gcode instruction manually, control the printer and even launch print.

I need to shoot and get to work but I’ll try to write down a list of steps for the calibration.

First one will be M119 to do before everything this tell you if you’re endstop are working and working as expected, you should run this before powering up the printer.
