You just saved me £11 with P&P my friend, just tried this with the help of a support worker and it worked like a charm on my A1 Stainless Steel nozzle, where the filament just stuck itself inside with no way of grabbing at it like in your example. 1.5 Allen key, a lighter and a little bit of patience, and it's printing like a charm again!
@@MrMaxStalsky wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/troubleshooting/nozzle-clog Bambu Labs performs this procedure without removing the ceramic heater. I think you just need to be mindful of what side you're applying the heat to.
Thanks for the video, I have a few clogged hot end's that I am going to try this on. Just could not bring myself to throw them away! Now that I see you doing what you did it makes perfect sense! 👍
I do cold pulls till I get as much material out as I can. Then I put a small piece of PLA in the nozzle and push it down to the end. Then I heat the end of the nozzle with a torch till I'm sure the PLA melted then push it out the hole in the nozzle with the hex key. I never need to put a needle through.
Why does this happen? I have a p1s and it does this about every 6 filament changes (non ams). I do what it tells me to do wait for it to heat up and cut filament when it says and The filament mushrooms enough on top of the hot end to get stuck, does my filament cutter need to be replaced?
Yup should work on the A1 series of printers. The A1 series is a bit easier cause the filament is cut a little further up leaving enough for you to grab the filament with some pliers. You can also use the print itself to heat up the hotend instead of using a lighter. Bambu labs has a good step by step guide: wiki.bambulab.com/en/a1-mini/troubleshooting/nozzle-clog
The title says "if a pin doesn't work". I had a print fail due to the nozzle being clogged. I did multiple load/unload attempts that failed. Tried the pin up the front, this did not solve the problem. Removed the nozzle and did this procedure and I'm back up and running.
@@weldingjunkie You don't know what you are talking about. Read the definition of the word "clog". That literally means you cannot push the filament in the usual way
Thank You for this video but… WTaF!? Excuse me? What kind of design is this!? And producers really trust me I will be able to attach cables correctly again? 😂What a joke!

It probably wont work because nothing else has I said to myself as I follow your steps and IT WORKS. Thanks !!!
What a satisfying smack sound when you took it out. Thank you for showing this.
Thank you, you saved me taking my hot end out and so much headache!
You can do in the printer heating the hotend with the printer itself. Just don't pull to hard to not tear off the wires.
Yeah that’s definitely an option. I just find it way easier to work with it outside of the printer.
@@3DPrintStuff sure thing, but I don't like to disable the hotend and mess with thermal grease)

@@3DPrintStuff yes you can unplug all cables without removing the heater and the thermistor from the hotend but , yeah, you got to be really careful)

Yeah it can become pretty wasteful if every clog means a new nozzle + hotend.

Worked first time cheers mate.

Great video. Easy to follow.
Does this work with the A1 & A1 mini? I seem to have the same problem?

This worked. Thank you!
Fantastic! Thanks!!!
you save the lives of many people
lol not saving lives over here but thanks!
I have this problem with ABS, am i cooked ?
Should be the exact same process
@ yes it work ! Thank you so much. Fristly i could not put the key in the plastic it was not hot enough but i tried again and it fit in …
Thanks
u rock!
I did the same thing, but I didn't do it with the lighter on the nozzle, next time I'll try, thank you
Be careful to not let it get too hot. Cold pulls don’t really do much if you get the plastic too hot.
@@3DPrintStuff ok, thanks for the advice, I also changed the thermal paste, I put the Slice Engineering thermal paste which supports the heat better
It’s not stuck that’s where it got cut put it back in and run some pla it’ll push it through. Also you can just run a pin up the front.

@@3DPrintStuff i know what it says if you heat it and push from tip, it you don't need the alan
@@3DPrintStuff you can also run pla through or heat it attached to the machine

thanks, now I'm unstuck
You should be using a torch butane lighter

Er just drill it out
