Hi everyone,

I know we have a few people with 3D printers in GADC and I was wondering if I could grab a favour?

Could someone print me **_two_** of these?

They’re only small (I think!)

I will of course pay for all filament costs, and postage 👍

Thanks in advance for any offers of help 😊

I’ll try a print with my old nozzles having just received the wrong once from Banggood.

Should be 2mm, I’ll print in the morning and let you know how they come out.

Is this model handed? should there be a left and a right?

I don’t think so Colin, just turn it up the other way for the other arm I guess? 🙂

it can be mirrored on the printer, it just reverses the text. it will be interesting to see where it fits. If Njoro cant do it, i will, mate.

Looking at the blue one enlarged in Thing view I would say they are not meant to be handed.  
It looks like they are possibly just fixed using cable ties to one of the arms.

I might be interested in some of these myself, let me know how much as I was thinking of getting some Flytron strobes.

BTW Rich, there is a guy on Facebook selling some nice Inspire 1 goodies, for example,  
Inspak x5 in carbon for inspire 1 new £70  
1 x TB48 battery in black has had 6 charges 1hrs use £135

Yup, confirmed 👍

Damned batteries! They’re soooooo expensive, even second hand!

Just fired up the printer, a little late than I wanted to, nozzle cleaned and looking good so far,sliced for 1 Hr 6 min each.

I don’t know if that’s quick or slow 😊

But either way, thanks @Njoro, very grateful!

Quickish, printing at 0.4mm, is this the strobe that’s going to be used? If it is I’ll be able to test the fit straight away.

To be fair to the designer, and the spirit of Thingiverse I’d say the cost of electricity and filament used. I know just how much time it takes to design something from scratch and I haven’t done that in this case.  
I’ll print you a pair and let you agonis over what you’d like to contribute towards the print.  
Is that fair?

Thank you, that’s fair but also I wouldn’t have a clue what that would cost either 😊

Got a refund from Bangood, I paid £6.12 for these nozzles first offer was 600 Bangood points, then $6 and since when is $6 equal to £6? I held out for my £6.12 to Paypal.

That looks great.  
I still have no idea as to what the cost would be though, @PingSpike any idea?
