This really helped me clear my clog, thank you. My clog was so intense I wasn't able to get the gears off, but a little creative tugging with some pliers got the clog out and I was able to get it apart and clean it up. Those little wires are fragile, I broke the temperature sensor wire for my 0.2mm nozzle, so I have to learn how to fix that now. At least I can print with other nozzles now that my extruder is working.
Thank you SOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! Phew! This saved me! I was going insane! Had to take apart the extruder to find the clog exactly where you said it was. Lost my print (but only because power fail recovery started printing with the bed pushed up and bent my nozzle argh, separate issue, I have a spare) but I couldn’t figure out this clog until this video. THANK YOU
For anyone who might find it useful, you'll need a 1.5mm and a 2.0mm hex key. Filament Cutter: 1x 1.5mm screw Filament Sensor: 2x 1.5mm screws Hot End: 2x 2.0mm screws Extruder: 3x 2.0mm screws Extruder Body: 4x2.0mm screws
The main way you will know is that the AMS will be making a grinding noise because its trying to feed filament but its not moving so the feeding gears are just scraping against the filament. If you’re not using an AMS then you will see the print head moving like it’s printing but nothing will be coming out of the nozzle.
@@gingergeekstudios thank you so the clicking sound or air printing . I look at these multiple color filaments and most have clogging issues so I don’t buy can you recommend a maker with no issues ? Ps : glow in the dark filament is notorious on breaking and clogging
There are no FDM printers that will not have this issue. There are some that will do it far less than other but all are capable of clogging. The best way to prevent this from happening with a bambu is to leave the door open when you are printing with PLA and especially when the room your printer is in is not climate controlled.
@Gingergeekstudios - the sensor that you pulled out around 1:17 - I removed the screws but mine doesn't pop out - is there something else besides those two screws and the ptfe tube that has to be removed?
You are totally not wrong. I appreciate the feedback and I will work on that but in my defense, I do have pretty giant sausage fingers so it’s kinda hard to keep them out of the way sometimes. Lol

Thanks this is very helpful info.
Thank you!
You just saved me from a heartattack... 💪🏽👍🏼
Glad I could help!
what a horrible trip to find this video as my solution
I’m Im Just glad you did find it helpful.
@@gingergeekstudios saved my night mate, thanks
You’re welcome
What symptom does the machine have or do that you know you have a clog “ air printing “ ? Is one any other ? Ty good tear down video 👍

@@gingergeekstudios i try that open door method with the multi color pla thanks
You’re welcome. Happy to help. Let me know how it goes for you

Thanks !! A LOT
You help me. Thanks

Thank you!
I’m sorry but your hands are just covering everything all the time. Please fix this next time.
