Base backlash repair


#1

Hi everybody,

I used the Dobot Magician for a couple of years, and now a backlash on the base has come out, as if some screw internally is loose. I attach a picture to better understand the problem. How could I fix it? I opened the bottom panel, but I could not access the mechanism, only the motherboard being present within the bottom compartment.

The solution is not on the back, but on the top side where the robot is attached to the base.

it is 4 screws that hold it in plastic molded base.
What breaks is the plastic mold holding the screw - it is just poorly designed to begin with.

To get to the top you’ll want to peel off the black cover at the top of the base and move from there down.
