    I have to pry that Quick Release Pull Tab out with a flat head screw driver because I cant loosen the Quick Release Screw. I think the Nut for that screw stripped the part of the X carriage that has the extruder stepper motor mounted Image below.

    Dose anyone have a .STL file for that part so I can print a replacement also can you tell me the size for the Quick Release Screw I might need to get a new one.

    P.S. I contacted support but they are a bit slow on email responses.

    Looks like a standard GregsWade extruder above the quick-release pull-tab.
    All over thingiverse. Certainly the Beta and R1 use a standard one. The quick release tab is R1+ specific, but the rest is not.

    Thank you I saw that but I wasn't positive it was the some thing that is on the RoBo.

    Is there one for the R1+? What kind of nut does it use?

    It is a std greg wade as mentioned above. I think they are m3 or m4 nuts.

    So far the Robo has a huge advantage from a commercial printer perspective in that all of the guts are standard parts (mechanically, electrically and electronics). Even the firmware is a standard product with minimal customization.
