Topic: Here's a new one

So I started my print and then I heard the terrible noise of nozzle on glass, after killing the print and dropping the bed I discovered that I am now missing the little metal part that activates the probe switch, I looked and looked and shook but couldn't find it anywhere so I started stripping down the machine and never found it but I did decide to steal the one from the z axis limit switch in the back until I can find a replacement. So my real question where can I find a replacement metal piece I will send a ticket into solidoodle but I like to have options after my warranty is up. Thanks for all your help in advance.

P.S. I didn't put back on the internal walls and I think I may never put them back on. I sometime feel like I am trying to make a race car from a Volkswagen bus.

Adam

If we're talking the z probe, mine has never had a lever - just the little red button that is pressed directly by the bed. If you want to change the style of switch, Mouser or digikey will have them. Or hop in your way-back machine to 1980 and swing by RadioShack.
