I cannot totally disagree with XYZ as they have no control over what happened with that machine comming from eBay. They could sell you one of that part for cheap though. Btw, so far I got great support from them.

good luck with your issue.

Gee oscahie, maybe you should go work for them big_smile.

The part broke because it is poorly designed and poorly interfaces with the printer.

The whole gist of this story is that XYZ will not honor any warranty repair if you purchased your machine from a retailer such as eBay...

Sorry but that's not always the case. They replaced my entire control board when it failed, and I bought the machine off of ebay too, and I don't think it was an 'approved' supplier at all. However, being located in the EU, I can tell you that I never got in contact with XYZ directly but with some subcontracted company in Germany that does the repairing for them. Point is, depending on who you talk to, YMMV.

But regarding the broken part, I don't want to play devil's advocate, but still disagree. I don't see people complaining about those little tabs breaking, so I doubt there is a design issue. Mines certainly did not break.

The truth is they don't care where you bought it at. If it has an issue then it falls on where ever it was purchased, not XYZ. That is their warranty policy.  There is none. Also if a part brwaks due to poor design, such as the latches on my door then that is not my fault by the manufacturers fault and should be covered by a warranty. This is just XYZ being stupid and nothing else.

So even if you were covered by the warranty, they would be right to ask you to pay for the replacement part. Just IMHO.

I hate making improvised fixes on something brand new. I have the window held in with clear tape and that'll do because I can't see it. But I know it's there... big_smile

I'm more pissed that XYZPrinting is begrudging me a $.50 part because I didn't buy from their list of "approved" vendors.

Could be he wants a complete piece rather than a repaired piece. There are OCD types out there that insist on new rather than repaired, taped, glued. Then there are just those that like a complete part and stock part.

Are you willing to wait for my piece to come in the mail before you send your machine back though? I'm in Canada so it may take a little while.

No matter, I'll continue using clear tape to hold the panel in then big_smile
