Might as well drop a little more 3D printing in this thread.

The rubber on the gear stick seems to be disintegrating and high and low buttons feel out. This creation was a fairly quick fix, taking less than an hour to unscrew, design, print and screw back together. That was about 18 moths ago while having a drink and switching seed in the drill. Trimmed out the remains of the old buttons and printed a couple of elliptical top hats which just sit in place. Only had to pull it apart today as some of the original rubber was gumming up the down shift top hat. I just looked and a new part is listed at ÂŁ76.73 so I doubt these buttons are getting a proper replacement any time soon.

It is with a heavy heart we would like you to know .
Cuckavalda Gundogs have had a tragic accident around 4pm yesterday .
A tree blow down taking a powerline of 11k vol with it which fell on the kennel block, with electrified the runs. Unfortunately 13 dogs lost their lives.
A full investigation is underway by Northern Power Grid .
Jack ,Anna and Tom would like to thank everyone who have shown their concern and given help.
And to Grace Lane Vets for coming out .
At this time there is so much to do and things to sort so we ask that you do not telephone .
This photo was taken only last week and very few of the black Labradors are still with us .
There will not be a #FridayFavourite this week as we remember

My milking robot has a feedpipe which kept clogging. It is weld in place and quite awkward to access as comes down in the trough which is also welded in place. The spring is the filterholder of the old parlour, I screw it in a few turns in piece of oilcan I cut to precision, push it in the feedpipe and ream until clean. Works a charmđź‘Ś
