[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 649851, member: 8767"] I have a ML 505 with a broken Tab, Ear, Mount , Yoke whatever they are called. After some looking for a fix I have finally decided to 3D print a fix and sort the problem. I know there are a few of us out there that have the same problem with various fixes and degree's of success on so many coils, so I have done a search for .stl files for coil strengthening and repairs. I have downloaded what I need, and think I need to learn about 'slicers' and 'infill' etc, so I am doing a small course in Sept to get it together and make some bits for the 505, ACE250, CTX and Nox machines in the house. There are a lot of other bits for detecting and many brands of detectors, that can be 3D printed, just do a Google for what you think you want. I have a LOT of PLA filament, so if you want an item and don't mind me taking time to print one, find it on a site, send me the web page link via the PM and I will look it up and give it a shot. If it works I will send it to you for just Postage and PLA cost. I figure that would put me on a motivated and accelerated learning curve. (My local library has a Maker room with 3D printer dual spool + an instructor) If you find something just PM me. (yes I know the stuff/things can be bought on Ebay and Amazon ;)) [/QUOTE]
