Today, my dremel has stopped functioning properly. It still rotates when turned on, however, the button used to change dremel bits no longer properly grabs the bit and I am no longer able to change dremel bits. Right now, I am stuck with a small wire brush on the dremel, when what I really need to change to a differently angled wire brush.
The good news is that I found the part needed to fix the dremel online for $1.38. Bad news, the company charges a minimum $5 order fee plus $6 for shipping. So this part is now $12. I really don't want to buy a new dremel so I'm stuck buying the $12 part.
Below is a picture of the dremel taken apart. The new part needed is the locking bit at the top of the picture.

I have the same problem.
Where can I get this part?
I ended up getting the part from eReplacementParts. For the Dremel 300 it is part number 817 in the link below.

Did it work and fix the dremel? I have the same problem, and would like to know if that was the right part you needed before I order it.
Yep, the replacement part swapped right in. Since then, I've been super careful about slowing the dremel tip to a stop before trying to push the release button.
