Beomaster 8000 Repair: Input Jacks
Beomaster 8000: Broken phono jack with 3D printed inserts in place for insertion.
The input jacks located in the socket panel of the Beomaster 8000 often have broken tabs. This causes the jacks to fall into the panel, and it is difficult to plug in the Beogram 8000 or the Beocord 8000/9000.
It is possible to repair these jacks with 3D printed parts. The photo shows a broken phono jack with 3D printed inserts. The inserts do not need to be glued in, they fall into place when the jack is inserted back into the panel. The glossy finish of the 3D parts was achieved via acetone vapor smoothing.

I made a short video about this procedure. It shows the design and 3D printing process, as well as how to install the parts:

The STL file for the inserts is posted here:
(make sure you scale it correctly in the Makerbot Makerware software. It needs to have 23 mm length. When I printed it needed a 10x enlargement. I used 0.1 mm layer thickness, and 50% infill. It needs to be printed on a dual filament Makerbot and dissolvable supports)
