    prusa with replacement 3d printed part

    New idler arrived. I used my backup mount to replace the stripped original.

    Currently, I am printing a PETG replacement for my backup PLA part.

    But the printer is working well, and no more binding noise from the incorrectly mounted idler! (go figure)
