Missing CoreXY strut, should I proceed without it?
Hi everyone, so I am in the middle of assembling my CoreOne, but now I am stuck (for the second time) due to a missing part in my shipment. This time it is the CoreXY strut which you attach the long LED too. I am in line to chat with support to get the missing part shipped, but I wanted to ask here from people who have spent more time with the unit if they think I can finish my build now (instead of waiting another week for the part to arrive) and then fit this in later once it arrives?

Are you really sure it's missing? As they write in the assembly instructions for preparing the parts, step 5.63: "The part is inserted in a foam cutout and may not be immediately visible at first glance." I don't recall where exactly it was hiding, but I do recall that I also had an "oh $#!+" moment...

Yep, the packaging is a bit tricky for some parts. I too had to search some parts and "dig them out".

OP is not responding anymore, probably eating gummy bears.

Give them some time. Not only may they be busy building the printer or chatting with support, but I believe with less than 5 posts they also have to wait for a moderator to release any new posts.

Hi, sorry for slow follow-up, my wife demanded I help with other tasks in the house since I couldn't move forward with printer anyway 😀
I did search through all the foam bits after seeing that note, I even tried bending in them all gently to figure out if there was a piece of metal inside. I do suspect that whoever packaged my 1/3 metal parts box was in a bit of hurry because also some brackets where missing from the box. Prusa is sending me the missing piece though now and support did say they thought I could proceed with assembly as long as I was prepared to fiddle a bit to get this led thing sorted later.

I believe the part you were talking about was located here.
