    I am annoyed with having to use a screw driver to change filament. There has to be a better way.
    I am looking to do a minimum redesign of the hinge mechanism so that does a way with screw drivers or having to screw stuff in.

    Does anyone have the 3d files for the cold end? particulary the hinge mechanism with the ball bearing in it. Would be easier to start with existing rather than create from scratch

    I do my modelling in Blender, any format will do however.

    You could if you cut it up into smaller pieces and secured them together afterwards.
