Fuck chamberlain so much. We have Gates from them which were (wrongly) opened by hand. Inside of the swing arm was only a broken plastic clutch which could easily be changed to a new one. But chamberlain will not sell any spare parts whatsoever. We tried 3d printing the part but I didn't manage to draw the teeth 1:1 so Motor load was higher than the controller allowed and stopped it.

Fuck chamberlain

I’d be surprised if there wasn’t an extremely accurate part on Thingiverse or elsewhere on the internet.
