If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

    Side cover tabs - anyone do a 3D print file of one?

    Anyone make a 3D or CAD file of a side cover tab? My side cover is missing a tab. Thinking of printing one and reattaching with ABS glue. Should be compatible. I'm thinking printing it sideways so the layers go from base to point/tip so less likely to pull apart. Another idea is I can make...
