The head was jammed up real good, had to put in some elbow grease to clean it. So apparently a 5 mm long piece of filament had broken off and got stuck in the space where the bowden tube meets the teflon coupler (I think it was in the teflon coupler). So filament was blocked from entering the metal throat. Had to heat up the block, unscrew the nozzle, and poke a thin screwdriver up the throat. Kept poking and removing molten plastic, then finally pushed up on the blocking piece and pushed it through to the bowden tube, which I then disconnected and got that bugger piece out. I must say it was my white whale. | |||
Prints as usual now, which is pretty good. | |||
