Thanks for the offer caution.
2 of the clear plastic guide and stop pieces broke. A couple pics to show it below. You can see where I had tried to JB Weld them back on (the grey colored blobs) The one marker A2 should be the same as A1 and the one marked B was longer and had a hood. I can't even find the broken bits anymore but since you cave the same box you can see what it looked like. Do you think there would be a way to attach 3d printed ones that would actually hold? I had looked into plastic welding the other week but it seemed a little complicated. I think one of the main points was that the materials had to be the same. I would guess these pieces are acryllic.

Yeah, you could've used acrylic solvent to weld the parts back together. It melts the outermost surface of each piece so it can create a rock solid joint. JB also sells a PlasticWeld, which works great, much better than the standard formulation. Considering it's already broken, you may want to go with something like that instead, so you can actually add more material back to the break site to give it more strength to prevent breaking in the future - something the solven't cannot give you.
