Thinking this is looking like it could double up for something else as well...

A bit better image... I don't know why, but all these STL files I download always seem to have some "dump fault" in them

When I do my own files and print them they'll print out fine...

@exxos I do hope that pink matches the recently repaired TV?

What is it a spool for out of curiosity?

I think it is pretty close, may be a fraction darker

He fallen into the trap of needing a 3D printer in order to print out 3D printer parts.

First part done! A bit of oozing I think on the top of it, likely because the fans were not running as they are too noisy

Need to measure the fans and find some quieter ones I think..

So this turned out to be a pain

It did not actually fit as my printer has some locating holes, so I had to drill them out

I also had to take the bottom of the printer to get at the nuts the other side

Even more annoying, I tried to link the rear fans in series to run them at half voltage, I don't know why but the whole printer went off, crashed, came back on again, and now both vans are stuck full on all the time

I have just left them disconnected for now..

Also if anyone knows what this presumably MOSFET is, let me know as I cannot seem to find out what it actually is

Finally done. Messed up on the top bit though, but not surprised with no supports

Out of curiosity, what was wrong with the old one? Not pink enough?
