Yeah, Wolf is the kind to do that kind of stuff.

Ooh yes XD. I didnt use a blowtorch, but it's bad enough I used a lighter 🙃

I am nearly surprised he didn't gor for something bigger. Lol

Knowing Wolf, this probably won't end well. LOL X3

Everyone with an FDM printer can relate XD

oh dear XD

I had that happen to be a while ago, the clips an the hot end were so gunked up I just replaced the hot end entirely. The Nozzle that was on there at the time seems to be permanently clogged, not even bringing it to the maximum temperature and scouring it with a brass brush clears it. Fortunately I had a spare nozzle; I had bought a kit with a range of nozzles and a spare built plate (smooth, not textured like the Bambu ships with. I actually like the smooth plate better.)

Thankfully I've not had to replace the parts but I wondered if I would have to. They don't look nearly as clean and shiny anymore though. I quite like the textured plate myself ^^

Fair warning, the A1 series is NOT designed for easy teardown, there's a specific order parts need to be added/removed, and it is NOT easy to intuit from visual examination. I actually left the back panel (the 'beauty plate' off my A1 mini just in case I need to do more work, so now I can see the extruder control circuit board all the time.

Mine is an A1 Mini specifically.

Same here. I had thought you had an A1 maxi(?), since you drew it with two risers.

Nope the A1 in this picture isn't mine XD. I did depict an A1 mini in another piece though which isn't on FA.

I have quite a few 3D-printed parts for model rockets. ABS plastic I believe. A bit of effort to smooth the ribbed texture, even with primer coats.

I print PLA and TPU myself

I wish I could get an 3D printer one day

I bought mine when they were doing an offer before Xmas. It’s certainly not something I’ve regretted!

Not the first thing I thought of when I heard "Mr. Blobby".

Ah so you get the reference ;)

Don't do it Wolf!! Don't do it!!

Ah, thass easy...

-Take a needle drill bit smaller in diameter than the nozzle opening
-Carefully drill into the plastic that has lodged into the hole, until the bit emerges from the back side
-Take a larger diameter bit, and carefully drill into the feed side of the nozzle
-Take a standard pin, and push the loosened mass back through the nozzle
-Take a 25Lb Demolition Sledge to the Verdammt Thing!
-Breath out

And of course heat the nozzle up to 300c helps too ^^

Nah, let's keep it safe.

1,500c, we'll start over and recast it.

Blob!

Toxic marshmallow!

3D printed gunk, what will they think of next!

I know right! XD
