Why not just put a new nozzle on, they are cheap? I keep a bunch of piano wire thicknesses around for diy projects, helps for unclogging. You did give very good advice for unclogging, cold pull has worked for me, but sometimes i just replace. Larry
Well, you could buy one, then you'd be €15 down and have to wait at least a day (if you didn't have a stash) or you could just fix the one you have in a few minutes.
Plastic hemorrhoids. The only way to describe my total blowout last week which destroyed my hotend, nozzle and of course silicone boot. I tried with a heat gun, but in the end, sat for 5 hours and a flat blade soldiering iron and chop sticks just so i could disassemble the entire tool head. Thanks for your video, i learnt some new approaches!
I have to correct myself. I had something similar like a clog. I had the situation where one of the wires of the Hotend heaters snapped right at the entry. So there was absolutely no chance of heating it up to disassemble it. Had to use my Dremel to cut the screw holding the heater, force the block open (was only an V6 Hotend) and somehow get another heater in to disassemble it. Heater block was ruined, but I could get my expensive nozzle out. So keep an eye out to not bend those wires too much!
I've had it once, it was a chunk of something black in some overture nylon. a cold pull fixed it. I've also had 2 jams, once just a freak thing where some especially brittle pla broke below the extruder gears and ended up coming through the side and once finding out that my h2 v2 lite doesn't have enough heatsink to it to tame a 144w hotend running pla at 280c causing filament to solidify in the heatbreak. I had to run a drill down the heatbreak for that one

Hi do you have a link for the solution used

Great practical tips without commercial messages!
I never had a clog in my printers even after a few thousand printing hours. Guess I got lucky
Same, and I'm really glad about that 😅

Neat video!
