    Does anyone have or know where I can get an STL file of this Robo 3D part? This is the part that you squeeze to remove the old filament and put in the new one. Mine broke and I put in a parts replacement request, but I would prefer to just print a new one myself. I find that 3D printed replacement parts are more robust than the original parts that the printer comes with.

    Thingiverse. Search for robo3d mkelly. He has a file with almost all the parts of the printer

    It's called the "idler" for gregs wade extruder. If you search for that you may find some better upgraded versions

    I print replacement parts on my DDD SLA or CNC them from abs or alum. That always works. :)

    I want to thank everyone who responded. I glued the original back together well enough for it to be able to replace itself. I used the file that Mark posted, however, I had to use Tinkercad to add the little tab that is used to pull it back. Works great. Thanks guys!

    Not bad at all! Nice work. If you guys need help with design or mods or ideas, let me know. It's what I do for a living. Prototyping :)
