    Unresolved PETG warping issue

    That looks like a part cooling issue to me. The stock Robo3D R1-series part-cooling setup is pretty bad. There are several R1-series part-cooling...

    Solved Matter Control & Arduino are not connecting.

    Solved Matter Control & Arduino are not connecting.

    Solved Matter Control & Arduino are not connecting.

    I was under the impression that even the new genuine board was failing, but when I reviewed the last few posts, that's not 100% clear. Could you...
