    Hey all, can anyone tell me the sizes of the hex keys for the R2 printer? I stripped one of mine and wanted to pick one up on my way home from work. Not a huge deal if no one knows, it would just save me a extra trip.

    I personally just grab a full set. I think the most used are 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 4 mm but I may be mixing up machines. Best bet (and cheapest option is getting a full set from somewhere)
