    The plastic Y chain broke today - a small piece chipped off. When I disassembled the printer, the other side was looking pretty cracked too. I superglued the cracks together, but I have a couple of questions:

    -Is superglue sufficient, or should I get another chain?
    -Is there a picture of the proper way to wind the chain around the motors/gears?

    Thanks!
