    Hello,

    I was just checking on a print and found a part lying next to my printer, it seems it might have fallen off the robo r1+ I use, I was wondering if you could tell me what it was and where exactly it went, a picture would be appreciated.

    I think that is a cable retaining clip that is under the bed to help keep it from causing Y axis issues (i.e. getting in the way)

    Can't say for sure -- no R1+

    @Geof ?

    someone else will be along and likely want to know the same answer :D shoutbox just isn't long enough ;).

    I have removed that part from all my R1+ units. Its a strain relief (good thing) but over time it wiggles down and jams the y axis against the middle plate (mounting acrylic). yuk.
