Need Makerbot Replicator 2 parts!

[Kevin Jarrett]

Hi all, where's the best place for Makerbot Rep 2 parts? Makerbot themselves?

Had a catastrophic failure of the y-axis secondary - hard to see but the housing is cracked.

Found this on amazon, not sure if it's the correct part:

http://www.amazon.com/HUSOAR-Printer-Makerbot-Carriage-Frameset/dp/B013WBBTTY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1442571330&sr=8-1

Can't find one for the LEFT. Is it the same?

Can I print one of these? Don't have any ABS but my Lulzbot Mini is up to the task. Tried searching Thingiverse, no joy so far.

Thanks, kj

I found makerbot to be very helpful in the past (in the Bre Prentis days) with replacement parts... so it's worth contacting them.

It looks like the left side piece is a mirror image of the right side, without the motor and limit switch. Actually, the link you have on amazon looks to be the left side, not the right side, since the orientation is correct and there is no gap for the stepper motor, etc. (Maybe it is supposed to be Right, from the printer's perspective?)

Nevertheless, I agree this would be a good thing to model and print spares!

Thanks, got what I needed from them for a good price - shipping was more than the item! :)
