erm... Kinda need to ask someone a favour.
My 3D printer for the last three years has been a cheap-ish Anker m5c, which was a big upgrade on my old maker type which was over 6 year old. I'm not really ready to spend out on an upgrade to a bambulabs or something just yet.
However, my Heat block has given up the ghost. basically ended up with a blockage and then the heat block metal itself spilt so even if I can get it fully cleaned out (which is proving harder then it should) the thread for the nozzle is half toasted.. Anker (now Eufy) are not a great company for support and it appears, don't have any human staff on the support team.. I have had no reply from them after them saying that have a spare part for me for a set price which was.. just able acceptable... It's been 2 weeks of nothing from them ¬_¬ I tried e-mailing them from another account of mine as if I was something else and the reply pretty much confirmed no human staff and just generic crap reply.
So I'm screwed as I can get some new bits FOR the hot end, but no new heat block.. However, there is what is meant to be a great upgrade where you can print out a adapter to let you use bambulabs style X1 hotend, which gives much better performance (everyone says).. great! but.. 1) I can't print it as I don't have a working printer now ¬_¬ 2) it kinda needs to be printed with a heat strong material like ABS or ASA or something..
well.. the second one would kinda screw me as I don't have stuff right now, though I might have been able to get hold of and use it, but the first is the real bugger..
So.. I'm wondering.. Anyone in the UK got a 3D printer and some heat strong filament like that and would like to do me a favour? Not unpaid of course.. just work out the time, effort and filament costs and P&P and i'm more then happy to sort it out ^_^
I can link to a page where you can get the STL file, or if you don't have an account to download it (it's free) I can send the STL.
thanks ^_^;
