Spare part - broken clip on nozzle

[rhoogenboom 3]

Hi, 

 

I noticed one of my nozzles had a broken clip.

 

Since I have pretty much every nozzle possible twice, I sure hope no others will develop the same problem. (or someone dropped it and didn't say anything)

 

Is this an available spare part? Can you print it yourself? is there an STL?

 

Cheers,

 

Richard

It's called "Cartridge Bracket Top" and not an official (separate) spare part (AFAIK)

 

STEP-file published on GitHub:

https://github.com/Ultimaker/Ultimaker3/tree/master/2129/2129-F

 

...or maybe this alternative one?

https://www.youmagine.com/designs/ultimaker-3-printcore-lever

I hope the youmagine link will come to life, the step file is a dead end.

 

I can't get solidworks to import it succesfully and I tried 3 online converters, only 1 actually produced an stl and not an error and when I try to open that stl in cura its not liking it. 

 

Do you know of an STL (or any other sources)?

 

cheers,

 

Richard

I think your issue is that you're trying to download the STEP separately from Github. I've found that you have to download the whole repository as a zip and then use the file from there (it's under the green "code" button). 

 

I have no issue opening the STEP with Inventor using this method. 

 

It looks like youmagine is down... but here's an exported STL for ya (see attached)

2129-F.stl

Aha the whole repo might be it, it was complaining about references/names so probably it couldn't find it. 

 

Downloaded the STL, cheers for that!

 

Printing as I type this! 🙂

Yeah, I'm not sure exactly why it causes issues. If I do a single file using "save link as" it just imports nothing and the error report isn't helpful. 

 

Either way, glad it worked for ya!

printed, seems to fit, haven't put the nozzle in, but I recon that will be fine too. at best a bit of rework to make sure it fits snug in the print head.
