Hello, all!
I have been given an old 3d printer and I know very little about them. I did manage to get it leveled/calibrated/running and did a test print with little to no problem. I’m told it is a Prusa i3 1.75mm (or a “MK1”), however searching for information about it beyond the original manual has been very difficult. Specifically replacement parts to print/buy.
There is a fan on the back of the nozzle that has a shroud over it that has just absolutely snapped at some point. It’s zip tied on at the moment and there’s supposed to be a solid piece on the side but it has disappeared on me. I’d like to print another.
Does anyone know if this printer goes by other names or has an official model name? Everything I search up shows a bunch of MK2, MK3, etc. rather than this old thing. I’m also curious if anyone knows where I might find a model for that shroud.
Thanks so much!

What papalonian said is right, when this machine came out it was expensive but as today standard, this machine isn’t worth much so don’t spend a lot of money on it. Every plastic part that you see can be printed with your printer. Should be available in their GitHub page. Nonetheless, it’s a great printer to learn 3d printing
