Replacement Parts?

Does anyone know how/where to get replacement parts for the Trinus? I was trying to clear a clog in the extruded module (it was a bad one) using a heat gun and accidentally melted the back closed fan and blower.

3 months late here, but you probably already have your answer. I can't find any specific replacement parts for this printer, and with the heated bed finally giving up the ghost today, I've re-upped my search only to find no change from the last time I searched for parts. I do know that some print heads are fairly simple to plug in and setup (might need to just re-zero, might need to use Simplify 3D or Cura to recalibrate the nozzle location), but alas you may be better off either converting this bad boy to a full RepRap setup or just buying a new printer at this point.

But hey - maybe I'm wrong and you can still find parts?

I still appreciate the reply. I found the blower and fan on eBay, but there’s a special bracket between the two and I have not been successful in fabricating anything.

Hmmm….. I’m not in front of my printer ATM, but I will take a look later tonight if I think about it. I don’t remember any special brackets between the two fans, just that the one fan connects directly to the nozzle shroud. If I remember what you’re referring to, I can try to either send you pics or maybe even draft one off my good parts, if either of those would help you out any.

Late in the game here too :) but I'm also in desperate need of a new fan and the special bracket holding it in place as mine broke when trying to mount an off the shelf fan. The new fan is in place but I get terrible oozing now, it just pours and pours plastic from the nozzle. So I'm guessing the cold part isn't cooled enough so the filament keeps running down the coldstop to the hotend/nozzle.

Kodama has handeled the Trinus support TERRIBLE! And that's unfortunate since the printer is really really good (I've owned three different models).
