Posted by: macuserman on 2021-11-22 12:07:34Is there a list of 3d parts and models somewhere that we are maintaining? I am in need of several random parts and I keep looking to see if there are models but most don't seem to have it.

Even stupid little parts like these motherboard clips I had a stash of these from way back when all these machines were worthless and we parted them out by the dozens, but I find most of my recent shipments have arrived with a handful or all of these clips busted and I’m going through my stash rather quickly. Seems like a lot of this stuff would be very easy to print but getting models is the trick of course.
Posted by: aeberbach on 2021-11-22 13:16:13Making the model isn't really the hard part, but printing can be with something that small and complex. I don't suppose the side resting on your fingers is completely flat? If so then it looks like it could print without supports and that orientation will lend itself to a strong print, where layers are not in a position to shear off.

I think I may take you up on that and send you a few odds and ends to model
