prusaprinters

<h5><strong>1. Introduction</strong></h5><p>All Italians love tomato sauce ! We have tomato sauce instead of blood in our veins and olive oil in our brain.</p><p>But “true”, “real”, “genuine” Italians do their own sauce with fresh tomatoes and a "squeezer". <i>Cosa che cambiano tutto !!!!</i></p><p>However, a dramatic day occurred in our family when our historical squeezer stopped working after a too big batch of tomatoes in Summer. Offered to my mother by my father's aunt as wedding gift 40 years ago...we decreed a 1-week period of mourning in memory of our lovely squeezer and tasty sauce.&nbsp;</p><p>During our cold and dark winter nights, we thought about our lovely homemade sauce….eating our pasta with deadly canned sauce. We cried….we had nightmares…we were cursed by evil forces…surrounded by vampiric fears…maybe blood is a good sau…?</p><p>But one day….the young heir of the family rose and epically exclaimed “I WILL FIX IT, NOW FOR WRATH, NOW FOR RUIN AND THE RED DAWN !”</p><p>Our hero found out that the cause of all our torments was a broken gear inside the device. The last gear made of POM polymer broke due to fatigue and corrosion from organic acid (our tomatoes).</p><p>At night, he designed and printed a new one with his engineering skills…since then, the sun shines again in Middle-Earth.</p><p>Thus, if your tomato squeezer, Ariete Passi 260, is broken, please print this file and be the hero of your time !</p><p>&nbsp;</p><h5><strong>2.

Notes</strong></h5><ul><li>G-code file only made for MK3S+. The file contains some custom lines to add a pre-heating before the printing to avoid oozing during the mesh bed levelling. And a timer at the end of the print to buzz a sound once the parts has cooled down.&nbsp;</li><li>Do not use the g-code file on other machines than MK3S+ ! In any case, I recommend you to slice the .stp files by yourself to make your own g-code files.</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Have a nice print !</p><p>And don't forget to like, rate and donate !</p>
