What's up with the New XXT base plate, it doesn't fit

[[Ro...]]

I bought 3 new plates at the end of 2025, snuck them in with some leftover budget.

Put one together today and it wont click into place on the head

There are 2 little balls on the base plate that need to lock in to the head, but the ones i bought are in the wrong location. the head has 3 "holes" but 1 is filled in with what looks like epoxy.

Can i press out the ball from its current location and move it over to the spot that it needs to be in?

Additionally, there is a sticker in the box that says the base needs to be Activated, is that a new thing? My CMM computer is not connected to the network, so there is no internet on this machine.

Your "current" is TL3 and your new one is TL1
Your head seems to accept tl2,3,4
