I assume this fell off the print head, but I do not want to stop the print. Anyone know where it came from?

To me that looks like it may be a lens of some sort? Can you see all the cameras?
I need to find a baseline picture, but looks like it may have come off the part on the right side of the head, that bit with the BBL logo.
Because it’s squarish, I was thinking flame sensor cap in the one of the top four corners.
Still not identified from looking at spare parts page and these photos. I’ll have to wait another 8 hours before I can take a closer look.
This appears to be it. After the print is done, I’ll take a look.
A bit of a stress test print as well. Close to 10hr ABS print. 60deg chamber, 90deg bed, 270deg nozzle.
The very same thing happened to me. I just thought it was a bit of scrap plastic from somewhere. I have had a look around and i can’t see anything amiss!
Keep us posted please.
It’s a magnet cover for the nozzle blocker (aka ooze shield aka flow blocker).

Yep. It’s just stuck on one of the magnets for the nozzle blocker. Mine fell off. Took the other one off and it works just fine.

Confirmed I see two exposed magnets on the bottom of the toolhead now. Seems they didn’t use great adhesive.
I’m not sure if they are even supposed to stay there. Might be to protect them from hitting in shipping? The protective pads are not exactly a low friction material anyways.

My pic was covering the opposite nozzle, so I would guess there may have been as many as 3 of those covers. Personally, I don’t think its the end of the world, but I’m pretty sure they had it on there for a reason. Just not sure what that reason would be.
That’s where I’m at. Would love to know what they intended.

Maybe to just dampen/weaken the magnetic pull? Regardless, I’ll just keep running as is and see if there are issues. If there are, I will pull that bracket off and install some sort of cover for the magnets.
