Dracotrooper Posted July 18, 2019 Report Share Posted July 18, 2019 Dammit! That was a good spot. You know - I know which way around that piece should be. I've studied the ref a gazillion times. I swore it was the correct way round when I read your post on my phone... But it wasn't! For some insane reason, I had indeed glued it totally the wrong way around. Pleased to say I did a great job of fixing it in, making it completely robust. Which meant, that to get it out it snapped into multiple pieces and I had to drill the rest away to get the fixing bolt out. Time to source a new one/scratchbuild a new one from aluminium. Thanks...I think... Ah ... the lengths we go for a few mm poking the wrong way ... I've certainly been there.

simorph Posted July 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 There's a 'that's what she said' reply in there... I love my 3D printer I have some more aluminium on order, so plan is to use the 3D print as a template/guide for making a metal one. Good to know though, that if I have an emergency troop (which I won't) I can be up-and-running again in the time it takes for glue and paint to dry! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Jay[TK] Posted July 19, 2019 Report Share Posted July 19, 2019 Oh, sorry to hear the handle broke - and at the same time glad to see you found a solution that fast. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simorph Posted July 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 So, I used the 3D print as a guide and fashioned myself an all-aluminium one - this'll never break, and once I've painted it and secured it with epoxy, it'll never come out... I'll just make sure I put it in the right way around this time! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simorph Posted July 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 Thanks. All fixed now, pointing in the correct direction, and even less likely to snap off! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
