    I have had my R2 for about a week and I have noticed one of the belts leaving a residue in the motor and side panels. Is this normal wear or is this another issue. [​IMG]

    Some cast-off from belts is normal, but that is a lot for just a week ... can you tell if there is anything rubbing back there?
    Gantry still square and nothing shifted on the frame ?

    It appears that the grip for the belt was rubbing against the frame of the unit. I moved one of the rugs slightly back to give it a live it more space and now there's definitely no rubbing sound. Will need to do a test print to make sure nothing is shifted.[​IMG]

    Good catch. We have seen a number of unit with the gantry/frame shifting during shipping.
