Hi, i have a working cld-3090, it's working except for tray that i have to open "manually"



this part is broken that seems to be the only issue, does anyone knows what the name (or Some reference part number) of this thing is? maybe that way i can find another.


Thanks.

For these parts you need to find a cheap parts unit to purchase.

Has anybody ever tried to fix this or make it with epoxy and carve new teeth into the gear???

3D copy?

Should be doable.

Cheers

Would it be strong enough?? Have no experience with it but from the stuff I've seen it seems weaker in strength????

Depends very much on the process. A filament-type print with PLA probably would not be durable enough to be of any use, as in, you'd be constantly taking the player apart to replace the piece. But the UV-type resin method might well produce a suitable result.

I’d make a new one from Delrin on a lathe. This assumes the back side isn’t too complex.

You could also cut off the gear and glue or pin a new one in place.

I don’t think 3D printing is worth the time here. Maybe trays and buttons but the plastic is weak and the precision is low. You couldn’t do it as one piece for sure.

Are you saying that "the plastic is weak" for 3D printing? Just what do you mean by that? I'm studying 3D technology at college and there are plenty of desktop printers as well as filament to make sturdy enough parts for Laserdisc players. This specific part wouldn't be that difficult to print with an Ultimaker for instance.

All you need is that broken piece. Do you still have it or is it in the machine?
