Topic: Printed Plastic Extruder Press Arm for SD4?

Hello all,

I've had my SD4 for about a month now (bought it used on eBay) and the Extruder Press Arm have cracked and the bearing is no longer pressing snugly against the filament to guide it down the hot end. I've searched the SD website and I will be purchasing the aluminum version sometime today, but would like to print one of these "printed" arms for now so I can get the printer up and running again. Anyone know where I can grab the STL for this? I've searched on thingiverse but nothing seem to come up. Any help or links would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

You don't need to buy one. Just print it. Lots of people use the printed arms.

Nobody has the STL file of SD 4 printed press arm,
Wire10ga's one is for old extruder, doesn't fit
Your extruder. Just order an alum. one.
