This is a new one

I was taking out my lens to clean and the magnet came off the little doodad and is now stuck in therelllllhow do I get this out? Or can I still run it with the magnet over the lens

Don’t run it with the magnet stuck to the lens. Remove the print head cover. Remove the mirror. You should be able to see the top of the lens from the top. Using a q tip, push the lens down and out. Make sure you are ready to catch the lens or put something to cushion the fall.

I’m so sorry you ran into trouble with your lens tool. It looks like your Glowforge is connected and you’ve been able to print since contacting us. That’s great! Were you able to remove the magnet from your lens using the steps dklgood suggested?
