    Sorry for not knowing the names... Is this piece supposed to be in two pieces?

    The smaller black rectangle came out of the hole where the screw on the right is located. The larger black rectangle is attached to the band that moves the print bed back and forth.

    It looks like a nut goes into the large black piece and holds it into the slot the screw is currently in. I haven't been able to get it to stay in, it just slides off the nut. Are these two pieces supposed to be one piece and if they are would super glue be acceptable or should I get a new part?


    Thanks for your time,
    Josh

    That should be one piece. You could glue the piece together for the time being but I suggest getting a replacement part request started with robo.

    You could print one here in the mean time: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:681894

    Thanks Mike!

    Just so I don't look like a doofus, whats the technical name of that part? I figure asking for a "black rectangle" won't help me much :)

    I think they call it the Y belt tensioner. Though I'm not entirely sure.
