    I noticed today after my filament kept snapping off clean inside that this plastic piece of the tensioner was broken. I am wondering if I can order this piece or possibly print this piece?

    Thanks

    you can print it. If I recall correctly that is a part of the gregs wade (the large part, not the hinge) to get by remove the bolts and nuts, superglue it back togather as straight as you can and print a replacement Looks like the screws are to long and pushed into the plastic (add washers to the new set up)
