Do I put it on a flat surface and hit it with a hair dryer to get it back in shape? Do I just print a new part? I planned to design a new one with a support that went all around instead of just at the front. That should help with warping. Also a smaller base would be better, and the corners on this one catch on the servo wire, so it should be more rounded.

Saggy reprap parts :(
I often leave my stuff in the car, in the sun, while I'm at work, when I'm heading to HackerSpace Brisbane that evening. This must have happened on a particularly hot day:
The base of the pan/tilt mount is badly warped. The tilt doesn't work very well any more because the distance is greater, so you tilt up halfway and it starts going down again. Infinite sadness.
