    I was taking a print off the machine this morning, and I noticed back in the side off the frame and all that a loose piece (photo enclosed). I can't see where it came from, or anything, but it looks like it was with a screw as well. Does anyone know what this is, or where it's meant to go? Thanks.

    That part is wholly unnecessary and can be removed. Technically it is a bracket to hold the ribbon cable used for heater bed power and bed thermistor and is used as a hold down. I do believe most longer time robo users are not using it at all.

    Oh, okay! *whew* Just as long as it's not vital or something. I was going to say it didn't seem to affect last night's prints. Anyway, thanks for the quick response.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one that has taken this off! :)
