    Has anyone designed "lifts" to elevate robo r1 to improve air flow to fan on bottom? Granted, a simple block would work, but how to connect four corners for stability?

    Hey thanks Mike! It appears you use longer screws in the corners of the bottom cover and hold the foot on with the same screw?

    Nope I don't do that, though it's an interesting idea.

    For printers with a bottom cover you could use hot glue or something to hold the feet on

    Hi, I have posted a set of feet for the R1+ on Thingiverse that uses the existing holes. you just need slightly longer screws. I guess the R1 and R1+ have bottom screw holes in the same position but I am not sure.

    I have added Hi Lift feet to the thingiverse files. They are higher and the outsides are a little lower. This was at the request of someone who had clearance problems with a XXL controller case. If you print it and see any problems, please let me know.
