    hello all,first time poster here. Not sure if this is the right forum for this issue but thought I'd try it.
    I've had my Robo since January and only recently have started using it a lot for a project. I've had some issues I believe are from filament issues but I got this last night and I have no clue how this happened and how to prevent it in the future. I'm running a stock Robo R1+ with no mods or add ons. Filament is PETg.
    What happened is this print was going fine, I went to bed and when I got up the upper 60% of the print had actually rotated on the print as shown in the photo. Does anyone have any ideas as to what can cause this? Thanks for any guesses in advance.

    A wild guess would be that it came loose from the bed while printing.
    (Assuming your print preview of the model looked right for all layers... )

    The print preview looked correct and it wasn't an issue of the bottom coming loose, I use a pva mix and even after it cooled for several hours it still takes some pressure to release my prints, otherwise I would have had that as my first guess.

    Well, then the only things left are:
    1) the slicer went insane . (Try another slicer)
    2) The arduino lost its mind partway through the print (check the communications log -- all of it-- for any errors)

    Either you had bogus GCode sent to the printer or the communications got garbled or the brains got garbled :)

    A new USB cable might not be a bad idea either.

    Okay, I'll give it a shot and I will order a new cord as well. I am using an older cord since the stock one didn't reach. It is the first time it's done this so I'm hoping it's just a fluke. I will update again if something like this happens again.

    Consider a lcd controller and do away with the cords and computer :)
