    Only for a few seconds as I was trying to resolder and test the OC fan and I saw smoke pouring out of the robo3d r1 and cut power and started by pulling the now screws fan out and because I didn't see where the smoke came from started looking at the ramp aboard and it all looks fine so after disconnecting the fan power it back and and auto home it to see what it does and it takes a few seconds due to z stops not being in the right position but get that fixed and it auto homes like a champ haven't yet tested the heater might wait a bit for that no flames just smoke

    I'd start with testing all functions. If your lucky you'll just need a new fan.

    I sent in a parts request waiting to hear back from that. Did you get the photo of the damage it did? I also put some heat shrink tube on it to further protect it

    yep start with a new fan and go from there. If you dont want to wait for Robo most parts can be gotten cheap off amazon or many other suppliers.
