Hi there,
Seems like lots of people have clogging issues on here and there's plenty of good advice about removing the hot-end and cleaning it. But can't find any photos or clear instructions about how to actually dismantle it. Does the whole thing unscrew? Which bit do you hold if so?
Can anyone point me in the right direction or pass on some advice please?
I'm running a Felix 2.0 with 1.75mm PLA at 195'C on a 55'C heated bed. Fan on full. Just got 20 mins into my second build and the extruder nozzle stopped putting out plastic. See test print attached, with just a few splodges of PLA.
Hope someone can help
Many thanks
Sam
How do you remove the extruder?
I recommend the "pull back" trick, e.g loosen the tensioner, heat to about 70° and pull the filament out the back as soon as that temperature is reached. If it doesn't get everything out, heat up to operating temp, push filament in manually till it gets stuck, let cool to room temp, repeat until no more debris comes out the nozzle.
If you can't stick the filament in deep enough, try heating up to op. temp, and try poking in from below with thin wire or a guitar string, while trying to feed the filament manually.
If nothing helps, you may have some filament stuck in the upper part of the hot-end, and you may have to disassemble it to get it out.
