JV33 need help sourcing a small part
Hi guys,
I recently experienced a head strike but have managed to save the head by the looks of it however the surrounding bracket sustained some damage.
Long and short of it, I was flying out the next day and a had a big print run to do, as the machine had printed 25% of the overall job I didnt realise that the sheet shifted and pushed the right most clip further out right resulting in the head strike.
After carefully observing however, the actual head looks fine but the metal surround that holds it in place has kinked a little. I could take this off and bend it straight again however would prefer to just replace with an undamaged one.
Called Hybrid but they say they dont sell the surround separately so Im stuck 🙁
I would rather pay a tiny price and replace the surround hoping the head prints fine than to replace a whole head at such astronomical rates which could have been salvaged.
Any advice and direction would be great guys

I had the same thing recently. How do you know the head is ok, can you still print?

I know the part you need Adil. The one James pictured is for a JV3, not a 33 unfortunately.
To my knowledge, these cannot be bought without buying the entire head assembly. Best thing to do is contact a friendly maintenance company and see if they can send you one from a knackered old printhead 😉

Hi guys apologies for the late reply, I have just been a tad busy so not able to reply. First and foremost thank you all so very much for your replies.
Jon, to be honest I dont but I am going off the aesthetic condition of the head itself as the clip caught the end of the clip/bracket on the actually head surface looks clean without any blemishes or irregularities.
It is not very easy to test if it works as the kink its made in this clip catches the medium so I would rather replace this little piece at a minimal cost and at least know the head is fine.
James, I dont think its that. This looks more like a tripod with a rectangular frame that holds the print head in place exposing the print surface.
And Stafford, that was something I was hoping I didnt have to hear LOL. I shall speak to a friend who repairs print finishing equipment in the hope he knows someone with a damaged printhead. Otherwise it shall have to unleash the blacksmith within 😆
O and since James asked, its this silver jobby around the print head in the attached image
