What do you do when you break a solder spool axle? Print a new one, of course! The black one is the original one (with a missing cap and a break). The red one is the new ones on my hybrid PrintrBot + (1/2 version 1 and 1/2 version 2). Thingiverse link: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:230191
I too love fixing thing by print out new parts. How do people survive without a 3D printer?
