I was wondering if anyone knew of some one with a 3D printer that may be able to manufacture me a new part? Failing that I have been given a block of plastic that someone with the right tools and skill may be able to shape the part for me. I had a quote from a plastic moulding company in ChCh for $400 just to design the plan to put it through the moulding process then there would be manufacturing costs on top of that. Bit steep for a bit of plastic I thought. I have attached photos of the offending part . Any help would be much appreciated.

Firstly, our very own Oxford-Ohoka Community Board has allowed for the proposed 80kph limit on Tram Rd in Mandeville to go to 'public consultation' (who do these people represent?). Don't worry if you never knew that, that's the whole idea - the decision will be formalised on the 24th - even though this is against the conditions as set down by the Commissioner in granting the resource consent to Apollo Projects.
The reason that this is really, really dodgy is because there's now talk of it ultimately going to 70kph so that the business precinct can get both a left turn in/out AND a right turn in/out on to Tram Rd. That was NOT part of the plan that was originally submitted. So, the non-notified RC approval process WAS a sham, this cannot be disputed (at rate payer expense) - not only was there an environmental impact (meaning it had to be a publicly notified consent application) but the actual plan it was based on was a fraud. Oh, and guess what - rate payers will be subsidising the road changes - again quite contrary to the Commissioner's conditions.
Enjoy those takeaways people - because you'll be paying for them twice, once over the counter and the other through your rates. To keep up on this crazy follow: www.facebook.com... and comment - curious to know how many others out there think this ain't how we do things here. If you're of the "oh, it'll be amazing and can't wait" or “but, its progress” brigade - please ignore this post as we already have your script, ok.
And the other tit-bit of news is that there is now yet another vacancy – the Thai takeaways is no more and also, NPD are holding off on consent application until the traffic stuff is sorted (ie Tram Rd access). And, the Property Manager is actually our new grocer too (!) – they couldn’t secure an anchor tenant - ouch.
On a personal note – I’ve had my second root canal work done today (so I ain’t happy) – the dentist called me ‘brave’ (lol) - and this ‘Village’ fiasco is WAY more painful.
