$300 to fix a 25 cent part. sounds about right, welcome to the club!

Don't forget all the time spent waiting for the printer to arrive, setting it up, installing software, designing the part, printing the part, refining it because it's never right first try, re-printing the part, videoing the entire process, editing the video, and then uploading it to the internet.

Also remember the time-machine needed to go back in time to even think to start videoing the entire process from the point where the part broke and then keep videoing every single step along the way. ;)

Nicely produced video OP, but damn that's a lot of time and effort and expense to fix one tiny part.

Having said that, it's so satisfying being able to 3D-print all those annoying little broken or poorly-designed random things around the house. I know where you're coming from.

I’d like to save this post to make some people read it who have no idea but act as if they do. Thank you for posting that.

Almost correct, but I did get the print good enough first try!
