Where does this pin belong?

Hi everyone,

I am a fairly new owner of a p2s and recently had to remove my nozzle from the p2s as it was covered with molten filament. After re-assembling I found this little metal pin on my desk:

It is 3.5mm in diameter and 7mm long. I have no idea where it comes from and if it is now missing somewhere in the printer. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi,

did you find where it belongs? I have exactly the same issue. I removed some melted filament from the nozzle, and this metal pin came loose. So, where is it supposed to go?

ever figure this out? i had the same thing happen

@bambam1 , @SlavaFabian

unfortunately the pin still sits on my desk, I haven’t figured it out yet - but I also can’t see any problems without it so far. Even Bambulab-Support has no idea where it could be missing, which is disappointing to say the least - since I did not take apart the whole printer, just cleaned the nozzle.

Can you confirm the exact dimensions of the pin in your cases?

what parts have you removed ?

To me it looks like something left over from the manufacturing/assembly process especially as the printer is working fine. I looked in my P2S toolhead and there is nothing inside it the remotely resembles the pin!

Can it be a part of one of your tools?

I removed the nozzle, replaced it with a spare one and cleaned the old nozzle.

Yeah, I thought that it might have come from somewhere else and not the printer but since two more people here experienced the same issue it is not very likely.

i own a P2S myself and even i dont know where a Pin like this would be, everything around that area you worked at has screws but no pins, honestly if your printer works fine, id say you can ignore it

May be, may be not… I’m always wary of first time posters that to gain numbers start their first messages in random topics with a line similar to “I have the same, how did you fix it?”
