Replacing the arm

Open, replace, recalibrate

1

Opening the machine

First things first: open the machine and pull out its guts.

2

Replacing the arm

Next, the arm. If it's come unscrewed, screw it back in; if it broke or fell off, refit it.

One thing is critical: the machine must be in "OFF" mode so the servo motor is in the correct position — the arm's axle must sit perpendicular to the top cover.

3

Closing it back up

The only slightly tricky part is fitting the circuit board back into the slots (as you can see).

4

Recalibrating

Even if the arm is properly positioned, it's worth recalibrating so the software can fine-tune the motor position (not strictly required, though). For this you'll need Chrome or Edge (no other browser will work) and a cable to connect the machine to your computer. Then follow the steps in the video — once the test has run, the machine is calibrated.
