    That one doesn't seem to have it.
    I don't have an R1+ to compare it to, but the pictures we have on here don't exactly match that.

    The quick release would.go under it. From what i can tell it looks close but i havnt used the file provided so i cant guarantee it. The only physical difference would be the countersink and a larger hole.for the tube. Ill try to check it out when i get home

    So the measurements seem to check out. I think it would work fine. Without printing one it's hard to be sure but it looks good

    "If you have a bottom cover with rods that run all the way to the top, you have M8 threaded rods so should be using this firmware: Robo3dR1V2_M8_E3D.zip?dl=0

    I have the Robo 3d R1 Plus with a bottom cover and the smooth rods runs all the way to the top, but the threaded rods do not. Is this the correct file to download?

    The reason I ask is because I tried to print a small item to test the new E3D V6 and the layers are not together. It is like it is putting a blank layer in between the layers. I am using MatterControl to rum my printer.

    No. That is R1 firmware, not R1+.
    There are no updates at present for the R1+, but if you need to modify it then use the "LeadScrew Update" firmware since that is the same as what is in the R1+

    From your description of the threaded rods I don't think you actually have an R1+

    If it has couplers where the threaded rods connect to the motors it IS NOT an R1+

    There is also a firmware for R1+, but it has some code error people here pointed out.
    Another option is the RC6

    I am not sure he has an R1+ versus an R1. He needs to figure that out before applying any changes.

    I bought the unit as an R1+ and the glass table say R1Plus so I'm pretty sure it's an R1 Plus.
    Now my problem is I did the update and now I have the print problem. Does anyone know where I can download an original file I can upload to fix my current problem?

    My choices are:
    R1+ Firmware V2 ¶
    Arduino files for R1+ Firmware
    or
    ROBO R1 (Original) Firmware 3.0 ¶
    • If you have the R1+ Plus, do not use this firmware
    So it looks like I have to go with the V2 version. I don't see a leadscrew version (R1+) , am I missing something?

    The one part of the instruction I was unable to do was step #6
    1. Under file, choose sketchbook, and then choose marlin auto level.
    I choose the file ROBO3DR1PLUSV2 but when I tried to choose marlein auto level under sketchbook there nothing would fly out to select.

    I did upload the ROBO3DR1PLUSV2 and it works well all except i see no autolevel
