Recently I had a problem where one of the connectors on my From 2 printer which detects the contacts on the resin tank broke off. See link for pictures: [Connector Pictures](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B3PI14PcH2baWUxVZUF2TmltX0U?usp=sharing)

I received a replacement printer but want to avoid the problem in the future. Has anyone else had this problem before?

I can’t say I’ve encountered this on the forums or through printing before and I expect that this was an issue with the manufacturing process rather than any error on your end. With typical use, that connector will be compressed but there won’t be any forces that pull up on the pins causing them to bend or detach. Hoping your new printer works well for you!
