Topic: Alternate Source For SD3 Parts????

I need to get a new hot end that clogged up bad when using cheap filament.  I ordered a new hot end and extruder ASSY, but 2 weeks later the parts are still in pending status (they said they're a little "overwhelmed" with orders now).  Is there a place I can order from that sells replacement items ready to ship?  The extruder actually cracked I'm several placed when I removed the screws, so even if I manage to find a way to unclog the nozzle my unit will still be useless!

The hotends from Makergear.com are directly compatible.  If you can glue the acrylic together, you may be able to print one of the alternative extruders before it fails.

I've got a brand new Solidoodle hot end and a brand new jigsaw assembly, or I could print you a Lawsy MK4. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.
