Part broke during assembly, please help

Hello everyone,

My daughter and I were very excited to receive our Original Prusa i3 Mk3S kit this weekend and we started to assemble it. Unfortunately, the X-axis assembly fell off my desk and the X end motor part broke. (See https://photos.app.goo.gl/igFS9RCBMhF5envn6 )

As you can imagine, my poor daughter is extremely disappointed. We waited 6 weeks for this to arrive from Poland to California and with the Covid-19 delays, it will be several weeks before we can get a spare from the factory.

Can some kind soul in USA please print out and mail us this part? Of course, I will happily pay for it.

Thank you.

I was able to locate someone who kindly volunteered to print a replacement. Thanks

From Poland? You mean tfrom.Czechia?

I have come here to chew bubblegum and perfect my MINI ... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

Well - despite my best efforts and taking it slow, I screwed up one of the steps during the assembly of the extruder and hotend. I have wrecked part C3 (nut is rotating and can't remove the m3-40 screw).  After waiting 6 weeks for the kit for my son, he's devastated. Is there any chance I could pay someone to print that part for me? It's 3 weeks minimum from Czech.

What part, specifically, is this? ('Part C3' is not ringing any bells) I may have one already printed out that I can just drop in a mailing bag to you.  I printed spare extruder parts just in case I have a meltdown and I can always reprint them.

@amir-haque

C3 is a modification level marker, not a part number. 

Please let us know where you are geographically, and which printer version, and which part you have broken, 
then somebody may be close and able to print the part you want
