Mine broke a few weeks ago (after 12 years, amazingly). Would love to print a replacement.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03462217372316153415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-81956531729476571202021-06-06T12:39:27.617-04:002021-06-06T12:39:27.617-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14066188514432184159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-88796713936337148002021-06-05T13:07:06.405-04:002021-06-05T13:07:06.405-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.hanysayedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05072425049830123925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-14559427882756919352021-05-30T14:57:44.852-04:002021-05-30T14:57:44.852-04:00No, the only washers on the jacks are typical thin...No, the only washers on the jacks are typical thin metal, round washers. Roughly 3/8 ID, 1/2 OD. <br /><br />From reading the guitar forums, it appears the complaint of that breaking is pretty common. With the usual caution that I have no idea of how many are out there and what percentage broke. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-10417553346939775372021-05-30T12:54:36.306-04:002021-05-30T12:54:36.306-04:00That is a strange break-one would normally expect ...That is a strange break-one would normally expect a break through one of the stress risers, like the holes. Are there large flat backing washers for the jacks , that concentrate stress between where they almost meet in the middle of the plate? IE, bending the plate into a "V" instead of a curve?ravennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-36039203427626515622021-05-30T00:09:01.985-04:002021-05-30T00:09:01.985-04:00If it's PLA, that's doable.

I have a salad spinner that wasn't working anymore, because the cage wasn't high enough to connect with the spinning part of the lid. I made a hollow sort-of-cone to lift it up higher, which works well.<br /><br />My first model was a simple pin that I use to keep the cables that I run through the uprights of my server rack contained; each pin goes through a pair of mounting holes and holds the cables inside the uprights. Very simple, and does what I want.wheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17883965739766080342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-2203936031673809692021-05-29T22:57:24.298-04:002021-05-29T22:57:24.298-04:00I don't know enough about the filament to say,...I don't know enough about the filament to say, but it sounds like an interesting experiment. <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-21706745545163987202021-05-29T22:22:31.796-04:002021-05-29T22:22:31.796-04:00Once you make it, could you use a heatgun and a su...Once you make it, could you use a heatgun and a suitable form to put a curve in it? That way you would remove any stresses from forcing the curve into it with the screws alone.The Neon Madmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471284462048509853noreply@blogger.com
