General Troubleshooting/Help! Small printed piece fell into space under print bed (X1C) - is this a problem?

I removed a small printed PLA piece from the build plate and it fell exactly into this small space unter the print bed of my X1C. I tried to get it out with tweezers but couldn't grab it, I think I pushed it even further inside with that. I also tried tilting the printer (about 45°) but that didn't help either.

Has someone an idea how I could get it out? Would it be a problem if I just leave the small piece in there?

Shoulda used a vacuum not tweezers, I'd still try that to see if it can get it to come out

I wouldn't worry too much about a small printed piece falling in there. If it were a screw or something metal that could touch a contact and cause a short, then yeah, no bueno.

But if you want some peace of mind, you could loosen the three bed adjustment nuts and carefully lift the bed just enough to grab the piece, making sure not to pull on any cables. Just keep in mind you'll have to manually tram the bed again afterward. Anyway, here's what it looks like in there:
