    Hello guys. I lost the bolt washer and spring tensioner on my robo3d on the extruder. Do u guys know what the exact name of the bolt is? I'm not very familiar with the bolt naming etc. Thanks. I have a pic down below.

    I believe on my r1+ they are m3 screws. M3 washer and any stout spring that fits on the washer should work well.

    The ones on mine are 50 mm with 1 m3 washer on both screws and a spring on both screws. My springs are stiffer springs from ace hardware than came stock. Youll want to replace with a phillips head scew or a socket head cap screw.

    The size of the screws is really irrelevant (as long as they are workable). I replaced a set on one of the printers with non-metric ones that were slightly longer (2") and stronger/longer springs.
