Speedy Green 1000 Feeder Shute Spring

thingiverse

This is the plastic spring mechanism which pulls closed the feeder shute slide. The original one tends to brittle and crack eventually. This is not a perfect replica but close enough that is does snap in and stay on fine. I have used it several times with no issues. At 25% infill the 'springiness' seems to be about right. Note, I had to remove the auger / rotating spreader wo have enough room to snap on the new part. Pry the axle housing apart at the clips, then everything pulls apart from there. Rinse off accumulated fertilizer powder residue first to make disassembly easier.
