@dc42 thanks. I'll make arrangements soon. I think it's best to have it replaced, I'd hate to lose a pad.

RE: Poor soldering causing problems with Z axis
Here's some more images. I've lifted the mating part of the connector on some of the other blocks. Some of them have the solder coming through the holes correctly and some don't.

RE: Poor soldering causing problems with Z axis
@dc42 said in Poor soldering causing problems with Z axis:
It appears that a lot of pressure has been applied to the pins of that connector at some point, because they have been pushed down hard enough to break the solder. I am also surprised that the solder didn't penetrate the plated-through hole. If you would like your board replaced, please do not solder it yourself, we need to receive it as you did so that we can investigate how it may have happened.
Too late I've soldered it now. The solder has not penetrated the through holes on the other connectors too. I don't want to be without my printer while I wait for a replacement. There hasn't been any more force than what's required to connect the plug. I also had to solder the heater 0 screw connector, although I'm not convinced this should happen, I can understand somewhat on this screw connector given the twisting motion it endures. I'll add some pics of the through holes.

Poor soldering causing problems with Z axis
My Z has been showing a phase problem. I changed the motor and the cable but it never resolved. upon inspecting my Duet 2 wifi I saw the soldering on the pins was poor and the pins had come away from the board. Should I request a replacement board? I bought it from Ooznest on 10th April (under 2 months) and really dont want to be without a printer. I'll solder it up for now but I'm not happy with it at all.
